Dynatrace marketecture

  • Infrastructure Observability

    Get automatic and intelligent observability across cloud and hybrid environments with continuous auto-discovery of hosts, VMs, serverless, cloud services, containers and Kubernetes, networks, devices, logs, events and more—all in context, with precise, AI-powered answers.

  • Application Observability

    Get best-in-class APM from the category leader. Automatic and intelligent observability at scale for cloud-native workloads and enterprise applications helps you ensure end-to-end hybrid cloud distributed tracing, optimize service performance, innovate faster, collaborate efficiently, and deliver more value with less effort.

  • Application Security

    Empower DevSecOps at scale with a unique approach to securing cloud-native applications at runtime combined with intelligent automation.

    • Security Protection

      Detect and block common attacks on application-layer vulnerabilities like SQL injection, command injection, and JNDI attacks. Protect against some critical zero-day attack types, like those for Log4Shell, while the vulnerability is being remediated.

    • Security Analytics

      Reduce the cost of investigating logs related to a current or suspected security incident like an application attack. Quickly and confidently verify what happened, leverage observability context to analyze, and take proactive action to strengthen defenses.

  • Digital Experience

    Improve user experiences with best-in-class digital experience monitoring. Ensure every application is available, functional, fast, and efficient across every channel, including mobile, web, IoT, and APIs.

  • Business Analytics

      Dynatrace is open, extensible, and can easily integrate with all major cloud platforms and solutions.

    • Dynatrace Hub

      Unlock the full potential of Dynatrace by finding, activating, and running apps and extensions that address your specific observability needs. Dynatrace Hub is the central place to explore and activate all Dynatrace capabilities.

    • Dynatrace Developer

      Use the Dynatrace App Toolkit from the command line to create, develop, and deploy Dynatrace Apps.

How Dynatrace works

Powerful core technologies combine to enable Dynatrace to deliver analytics and automation for unified observability and security in a fully extensible and adaptable environment.

Dynatrace architecture

Dynatrace is built for the cloud to be highly scalable, available, and secure.

Built for the cloud to monitor at hyperscale

Dynatrace is the only solution on the market architected with dynamic, web-scale cloud-native technologies.

Running on public clouds, Dynatrace is built on an elastic grid architecture that scales to 100,000+ hosts easily. We use the most robust enterprise-proven cloud technologies to provide a monitoring solution as resilient and available as the systems it monitors.

  • Cloud-native computing
  • Cloud-native block and object storage
  • Automated load balancing
  • Cassandra-based Hypercube storage
  • Elasticsearch-based search engine

Designed for always-on availability

Dynatrace runs across several AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud regions, operating in at least three availability zones for each region.

Automatic scaling and load balancing capabilities ensure that new computing instances spin up automatically to meet spikes in demand and/or traffic.

  • Real-time failover redundancy is built into all system components.
  • Automated management layer detects faulty components and replaces them immediately.
  • One-third of excess capacity in our clusters is always reserved for real-time failover and the ability to cope with peak loads in real time.
  • Guaranteed ≥ 99.5% uptime

Secure by design

Dynatrace has been designed on industry best practices such as encrypted transmissions, cross-site scripting prevention, firewalls, regular security updates, security scans, and vulnerability assessments to ensure the security of your data. Auditing, access restrictions, and secure decommissioning of data storage complement the design.

Because Dynatrace is hosted in the cloud, it benefits from world-class data centers, which are certified for ISO 27001, PCI-DSS Level 1, and SOC 1 / SSAE 16.

Dynatrace has received SOC 2 Type II certification for security and availability.

Part of your enterprise cloud ecosystem

Dynatrace is integrated with key components of your enterprise cloud ecosystem to support dynamic cloud orchestration on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware Tanzu Application Service, Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, and others. In these environments, Dynatrace automatically launches and monitors the full cloud stack and all the applications and containers running within the stack, including applications and workloads that may traverse multiple cloud and hybrid environments.

Our close integration with cloud platforms helps you simplify development and operations, increase visibility, and improve situational awareness across hybrid, multicloud environments.
