Despite the culturally diverse nature of Asia Pacific, similar themes emerged. For example, those surveyed in Asia Pacific experienced much more frequent high-business-impact outages than any other region, with 53% reporting at least once a week (compared to 31% in Europe and 26% in the Americas). The high number of outages could be due to the fact that those surveyed in Asia Pacific were most likely to use more than five tools (55% compared to 43% for those in Europe and 35% for those in the Americas), which is leading to increased silos of information across both data and teams. In fact, many countries like Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea reported challenges with siloed data. The adoption of AI technologies was the top strategy or trend driving the need for observability (36%)—reflecting the growing importance of observability in supporting innovation. Respondents surveyed in Asia Pacific were more likely to deploy these compared to Europe.
