To help our customers reduce their overall observability costs, we’re excited to announce the Data Optimization Hub as part of our Open 360™ platform. The new hub inventories all of your incoming telemetry data, while providing simple filters to remove any data you don’t need. Gone are the days of paying for observability data you never use.

For IT and EUC teams, reducing costs is easier said than done. You can’t just blindly reduce headcount, delay transformation projects, or extend hardware lifecycles in the hopes of appeasing your CFO’s demands for short-term cost reduction. The reality is, rushed cost-cutting will put your service desk under pressure. In turn, such self-inflicted inefficiencies will only result in performance degradations, additional tickets, and escalations.
