Centreon, has acquired Quanta.io, a French software company renowned for its expertise in Web Performance and Green IT. With this move, Centreon becomes the only private and independent vendor to offer an end-to-end observability platform covering infrastructure, application, and real user experience monitoring.
A Strategic Acquisition
By integrating Quanta’s technologies, Centreon enhances its offerings with advanced Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) capabilities: Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM), Real User Monitoring (RUM), and Digital Sobriety metrics. This step enables organizations to monitor digital performance at every level—correlating data across infrastructure, applications, and end-user behavior to anticipate performance bottlenecks or usage spikes.
In a landscape where digital performance and user experience directly influence business success, businesses require sharp, data-driven insights to guarantee optimal uptime and efficiency across critical and e-commerce platforms.
“Acquiring Quanta aligns perfectly with our vision for 360° visibility across the digital ecosystem. It empowers us to advance further by integrating IT and OT infrastructure monitoring with advanced web performance analytics and digital sobriety metrics at the core of our platform,” said Julien Mathis, CEO of Centreon.
Quanta: a Web Performance Specialist
Founded in 2012, Quanta has become a key player in web and e-commerce performance monitoring and the reduction of digital carbon footprints. Its customer base includes leading brands such as Cultura, Le Monde, Reworld Media, and Orange, which rely on Quanta’s solutions to enhance performance with fast load times, smooth navigation, and a lower digital footprint.
“Joining Centreon elevates our technology and vision to a new level. From its inception, Quanta has been built on a fundamental belief: user experience is central to digital performance. With Centreon, it becomes a new standard for IT. Together, we’re delivering a complete, high-performance, and accessible solution to address the critical needs of IT and business leaders alike,” said Guillaume Thibaux and Romain Lamaison, co-founders of Quanta.
Introducing Real User Monitoring (RUM) Capabilities
As a Digital Experience Monitoring platform, Quanta enables the observation of actual user interactions as they access applications or websites. These RUM features are now integrated into Centreon’s platform. RUM captures real-time experience metrics, application by application, device by device. In contrast to synthetic tests, it measures performance in the real world.
For businesses, RUM thus becomes a vital tool for detecting hidden issues, prioritizing resolutions, and aligning IT with business expectations. It also provides an objective assessment of the performance of third-party cloud or web service providers. In a hyper-digitalized environment, RUM is critical for ensuring a seamless, reliable, and continuous user experience. Monitoring is no longer confined to the datacenter—it follows the user.
Enabling Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM)
Quanta’s DEM platform also incorporates Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM) into Centreon’s capabilities. STM proactively simulates key user journeys—such as logging in, product searches, or checkout flows—to detect slowness or errors before they impact real users.
This allows 24/7 performance monitoring and validation of service availability at all points of presence. STM is a crucial incident-prevention and service-quality tool, particularly for e-commerce sites, business applications, and SaaS platforms. It empowers IT teams to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues before they affect end users.
Achieving Cost-Effective Observability
With Quanta’s integration, Centreon strengthens its mission: delivering a comprehensive observability platform that connects technical monitoring layers with user-perceived performance indicators. This integration of infrastructure, application, and user experience establishes a basis for more intelligent, proactive, and business-aligned IT.
In a rapidly evolving market, Centreon bolsters its position as a credible, independent European alternative committed to an observability approach that is open, cost-effective, and value-driven.
“Observability shouldn't be a privilege restricted to a select few. It must be accessible, actionable, and in line with business priorities. By merging the strengths of Centreon and Quanta, we’re delivering a platform that creates immediate value to customers of both companies—improve visibility, increased control, and ultimately, a better capacity to anticipate, diagnose, and enhance digital performance where it truly matters,” added Julien Mathis.
