2nd Watch and New Relic have teamed up to help large companies tune the performance of the enterprise applications they have running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Through an agreement, 2nd Watch Managed Services, which offers 24/7/365 support for AWS workloads, will now include New Relic application performance data as part of the 2nd Watch Managed Services offering. The new partnership enables 2nd Watch Managed Services to use New Relic's pure-SaaS service to enhance the performance of their clients' modern software, reducing management complexity and providing greater satisfaction of their end user customers' experiences.
2nd Watch is among a small group of AWS Premier Consulting Partners. Its Managed Services offering for AWS users includes Service Level Agreements (SLA), high availability and billing management. 2nd Watch has over 60,000 AWS instances under management for brands such as Adobe Business Catalyst and Red Lion Hotels. Through a combination of software and services, 2nd Watch is known to save clients up to 70% on average AWS deployments.
"Many of our largest AWS customers want to simplify management of their cloud infrastructure,," says Bill Lapcevic, VP of Business Development and Customer Success at New Relic. "2nd Watch has developed the industry's most comprehensive Managed Services program for AWS deployments. We're excited to partner with 2nd Watch to help enterprises improve how they build and run modern software, using our SaaS solution as another great way to eliminate unnecessarily complex and expensive infrastructure."
"By partnering with New Relic, our customers have greater visibility into their AWS environments, from infrastructure metrics to application performance without any additional cost or complexity,," says Joel Rosenberger, EVP of Managed Services at 2nd Watch. "We continuously look for opportunities to improve our already robust Managed Services offering for the enterprise by including industry leading tools like New Relic for our customers."
