Auvik announced the launch of Auvik Aurora, AI-powered IT agents designed to help IT professionals proactively manage, troubleshoot, and optimize their networks.
Purpose-built for network and infrastructure management, Auvik Aurora works out of the box with no complex setup or AI tuning required. Auvik AI agents are grounded in Auvik’s vast data repository, built up over 15 years of SaaS-based network management, enabling insights and recommendations informed by real-world IT complexity. Auvik is releasing a succession of AI-powered features to help IT teams resolve tickets faster, reduce escalations, and stay ahead of network and infrastructure issues.
“Auvik has long been the system of record for thousands of clients’ networks and infrastructure. Auvik Aurora is built directly on top of our unrivaled dataset of real-world complex IT environments,” said Doug Murray, CEO of Auvik. “Since its early days, Auvik’s framework for network management has been ‘See, Tell, Do’: gain complete visibility, surface the issues that need attention, and drive automation to resolve them. Auvik Aurora builds on this vision, further empowering IT technicians to prevent network and infrastructure issues and reduce mean time to resolution when issues do occur, while helping our partners uncover revenue opportunities. This is just the beginning, as Auvik will continue to invest significantly in enhancing our agentic AI offerings to lead the future of IT and network operations.”
Auvik AI agents leverage real-time network data—including topology, device relationships, performance data, lifecycle status, and security vulnerability data—to deliver actionable recommendations, prioritize alerts by impact, and guide faster issue and ticket resolution. With thousands of organizations trusting Auvik to power their IT operations today, Auvik AI agents are uniquely suited to leverage network and client-specific data to provide contextual recommendations and tailored network actions, improving effectiveness over generic LLM responses.
“Auvik Aurora enters the market with a meaningful advantage, as it is built on the rich and diverse dataset Auvik has already established through its cloud-based platform,” said Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, EMA. “Our research shows only 44% of IT organizations are fully confident that the quality of their network data can support AI-driven network management. As organizations continue to learn how to assess and build trust in AI solutions, Auvik’s data lake serves as a critical foundation for agentic IT operations.”
Auvik Aurora’s out-of-the-box capabilities empower IT teams without dedicated AI expertise or implementation budgets to realize value from day one. The agents enable natural-language alert creation and recommendations tailored to each IT environment and provide unique, vendor-specific assistance for command syntax and scripting. Auvik Aurora also delivers proactive device lifecycle management, surfacing end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-support (EOS) device risks before they cause an outage or security exposure.
Auvik Aurora provides value instantly, enabling IT teams and MSPs to:
- Pre-empt issues by knowing which devices to patch or replace before they cause an outage.
- Find problems faster by accessing AI-powered insights, eliminating the need to scramble when users call in for assistance.
- Resolve tickets more efficiently by leveraging context-based recommendations and command assistance for the specific device.
“Today’s IT technicians are more overloaded than ever with alerts and tickets. Auvik’s agentic framework is directly answering the market’s need for more intelligent IT insights and actionable recommendations,” said Dan Zaniewski, Chief Technology Officer, Auvik. “Auvik AI agents are naturally embedded throughout Auvik’s platform, integrated directly into the workflows IT teams spend too much time in today. The result is real customer value for both IT professionals and MSP partners alike: faster troubleshooting, smarter prioritization, and insights that simply weren’t possible before.”

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
