Insights
With the launch of OpenPipeline, Dynatrace addresses a critical need in the data management market for efficient handling of petabyte-scale data ingestion. The ability to process data streams up to ten times faster than legacy technologies is a significant competitive advantage. This development is poised to enhance Dynatrace's market position, potentially increasing its attractiveness to investors. The integration of OpenPipeline with other Dynatrace technologies like the Grail data lakehouse and Davis AI indicates a strategic move to offer a more comprehensive solution, which could lead to increased customer retention and acquisition.
Considering the growing data volumes and complexity in cloud environments, the demand for solutions that simplify data management while ensuring security and compliance is surging. Dynatrace's focus on cost-effectiveness and data privacy controls aligns with current market trends where businesses are increasingly vigilant about regulatory compliance costs and data security risks.
The introduction of OpenPipeline by Dynatrace is a significant advancement in the realm of cybersecurity. The platform's emphasis on full visibility and control over data, alongside customizable security and privacy controls, caters to the pressing need for compliance with stringent regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. The ability to manage and analyze data securely is crucial for organizations, as data breaches can have severe financial and reputational repercussions. By facilitating real-time analytics and offering PII masking features, Dynatrace is enhancing its value proposition to customers who prioritize data security.
Moreover, the rapid evaluation of data streams is not just a performance feature but also a security one, as it enables quicker detection and response to potential threats and vulnerabilities. This capability can be a differentiator in the market, where the speed of threat detection and response is a critical factor in cybersecurity strategies.
Dynatrace's OpenPipeline represents a significant innovation in data management, particularly for organizations operating in hybrid and multicloud environments. The unified data ingest capability simplifies the complexity of handling various data formats from multiple sources, which is a common challenge in modern IT landscapes. By transforming unstructured data into structured formats at the point of ingestion, OpenPipeline minimizes the need for additional data transformation tools, which can reduce operational overhead and streamline workflows.
The technology's ability to enrich and retain the context of heterogeneous data points is crucial for businesses to derive meaningful insights and make informed decisions. The cost-effective data management aspect, which helps in avoiding duplicate data ingestion and reducing storage needs, directly impacts the bottom line of businesses by optimizing resource utilization.

Dynatrace OpenPipeline empowers business, development, security, and operations teams with full visibility into and control of the data they are ingesting into the Dynatrace platform while preserving the context of the data and the cloud ecosystems where they originate. Additionally, it evaluates data streams five to ten times faster than legacy technologies. As a result, organizations can better manage the ever-increasing volume and variety of data emanating from their hybrid and multicloud environments and empower more teams to access the Dynatrace platform’s AI-powered answers and automations without requiring additional tools.
“Data is the lifeblood of our business. It contains valuable insights and enables automation that frees our teams from low-value tasks,” said Alex Hibbitt, Engineering Director, SRE and Fulfillment, albelli-Photobox Group. “However, we face challenges in managing our data pipelines securely and cost effectively. Adding OpenPipeline to Dynatrace extends the value of the platform. It enables us to manage data from a broad spectrum of sources alongside real-time data collected natively in Dynatrace, all in one single platform, allowing us to make better-informed decisions.”
According to Gartner®, “Modern workloads generate increasing volumes—hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes each day—of telemetry originating from a variety of sources. This threatens to overwhelm the operators responsible for availability, performance, and security. The cost and complexity associated with managing this data can be more than
Creating a unified pipeline to manage this data is challenging due to the complexity of modern cloud architectures. This complexity and the proliferation of monitoring and analytics tools within organizations can strain budgets. At the same time, organizations need to comply with security and privacy standards, such as GDPR and HIPAA, in relation to their data pipelines, analytics, and automations. Despite these challenges, stakeholders across organizations are seeking more data-driven insights and automation to make better decisions, improve productivity, and reduce costs. Therefore, they require clear visibility and control over their data while managing costs and maximizing the value of their existing data analytics and automation solutions.
Dynatrace OpenPipeline works with other core Dynatrace platform technologies, including the Grail™ data lakehouse, Smartscape® topology, and Davis® hypermodal AI, to address these challenges by delivering the following benefits:
- Petabyte scale data analytics: Leverages patent-pending stream processing algorithms to achieve significantly increased data throughputs at petabyte scale.
- Unified data ingest: Enables teams to ingest and route observability, security, and business events data–including dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) for business events–from any source and in any format, such as Dynatrace® OneAgent, Dynatrace APIs, and OpenTelemetry, with customizable retention times for individual use cases.
- Real-time data analytics on ingest: Allows teams to convert unstructured data into structured and usable formats at the point of ingest—for example, transforming raw data into time series or metrics data and creating business events from log lines.
- Full data context: Enriches and retains the context of heterogeneous data points—including metrics, traces, logs, user behavior, business events, vulnerabilities, threats, lifecycle events, and many others—reflecting the diverse parts of the cloud ecosystem where they originated.
- Controls for data privacy and security: Gives users control over which data they analyze, store, or exclude from analytics and includes fully customizable security and privacy controls, such as automatic and role-based PII masking, to help meet customers’ specific needs and regulatory requirements
- Cost-effective data management: Helps teams avoid ingesting duplicate data and reduces storage needs by transforming data into usable formats—for example, from XML to JSON—and enabling teams to remove unnecessary fields without losing any insights, context, or analytics flexibility.
“OpenPipeline is a powerful addition to the Dynatrace platform,” said Bernd Greifeneder, CTO at Dynatrace. “It enriches, converges, and contextualizes heterogeneous observability, security, and business data, providing unified analytics for these data and the services they represent. As with the Grail data lakehouse, we architected OpenPipeline for petabyte-scale analytics. It works with Dynatrace’s Davis hypermodal AI to extract meaningful insights from data, fueling robust analytics and trustworthy automation. Based on our internal testing, we believe OpenPipeline powered by Davis AI will allow our customers to evaluate data streams five to ten times faster than legacy technologies. We also believe that converging and contextualizing data within Dynatrace makes regulatory compliance and audits easier while empowering more teams within organizations to gain immediate visibility into the performance and security of their digital services.”
Dynatrace OpenPipeline is expected to be generally available for all Dynatrace SaaS customers within 90 days of this announcement, starting with support for logs, metrics, and business events. Support for additional data types will follow. Visit the Dynatrace OpenPipeline blog for more information.
