CompTIA's Todd ThibodeauxGood evening, channel partners. Welcome to Channel Chief Talk, a special edition of our podcast co-hosted by CompTIA CEO Todd Thibodeaux. Tonight’s guest is Datadog Senior VP of Alliances John Gray.Datadog specializes in cloud-scale monitoring -- allowing MSPs and IT services providers to closely monitor and maintain customer systems, whether they're on-premises or in a cloud. During the conversation we discus:
An overall definition of cloud-scale monitoring, and the implications for MSPs.
Datadog's expansion across application performance monitoring (APM), infrastructure monitoring, log management and more.
How partners can assist customers with digital transformation.
Practice first steps to help partners work with Datadog.
PS: When Gray mentions terms like "earlier this week" he's referring to meetings in December 2017. We recorded the conversation just ahead of the December holidays.
