Several pain points have made it difficult for organizations to manage their data efficiently and create actual value. Limited data availability constrains value creation. Modern IT environments — whether multicloud, on-premises, or hybrid-cloud architectures — generate exponentially increasing data volumes.

How do you get more value from petabytes of exponentially exploding, increasingly heterogeneous data? The short answer: The three pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and traces—converging on a data lakehouse. To solve this problem, Dynatrace launched Grail, its causational data lakehouse , in 2022.
