Subscription-based app monitoring software provider New Relic has teamed with enterprise cloud platform provider Tier 3 to integrate New Relic Standard into Tier 3’s systems management dashboard and API.  The partnership is meant to provide Tier 3 customers code-level visibility of mission-critical applications beyond the service the public cloud operator already offers.

“Tier 3 and New Relic are a perfect combination for today’s application development and deployment teams who must iterate quickly while meeting stringent customer demands for superior performance and availability,” Bill Lapcevic, vice president of business development for New Relic, said.

New Relic extends the infrastructure and OS monitoring Tier 3 provides to include a real-time user experience, spanning  SQL, PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET and Python. The app layer analytical capabilities that come with the software-as-a-service now built into every Tier 3 deployment allow companies to further optimize their platform.

The free version of New Relic is available to all customers, and can be upgraded to New Relic Professional from within their PaaS’s web portal. The monitoring app can also be included as an optional software package in Blueprints templates, Tier 3’s cloud orchestration tool.

New Relic’s service was recently enhanced with a November update for free server monitoring, a significant milestone as the company cashes in on the “overwhelming demand” from users. Sales growth fueled the expansion to backend monitoring now that New Relic supports over 14,000 customers. The company took the opportunity to reveal some interesting figures after a $15 million funding round announced a week after the new service roll out.  DAG Ventures and the Four Rivers Group participated in addition to existing investors Benchmark Capital, Trinity Ventures and others.
