BigPanda introduced new capabilities to its cloud platform for IT Operations, including two major product components.
First, BigPanda features Open Box Machine Learning, a core component of its platform that offers transparency, trust and control to enterprise IT customers.
Open Box means that IT Operations users are able to visualize and understand the machine learning logic that drives its intelligent automation processes. In addition, users can control and customize its automation logic by adding the situational, historical and business knowledge that is unique to their organization. This is in sharp contrast to “closed” machine learning – where the logic is highly opaque, making it difficult for users to understand, modify or even trust the results.
Open Box Machine Learning builds on BigPanda’s proven machine learning technology, already in production at some of the world’s largest enterprises. Its new capabilities include automated pattern suggestion, where the machine learning engine autonomously detects hidden patterns within disparate data and presents associated automation logic to end users to preview, edit, test and deploy into production. BigPanda’s Open Box approach employs a variety of data science techniques including unsupervised learning, cluster analysis, domain heuristics and topic modeling. Customers have realized both dramatic reductions in IT alert noise up to 95 percent and rapid time-to-value within days of deployment.
“Machine learning can significantly improve operations for IT organizations struggling with data and alert overload,” said Nancy Gohring, senior analyst at 451 Research. “Yet many are wary of embracing it because they think they have to give up control, don’t have the skills required, or lack the insight to comfortably embrace tools that leverage machine learning. Vendors like BigPanda that respond to these concerns will best serve enterprise needs.”
Mark Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer at Ventana Research, said, “The CIO and IT leadership need to enable the most efficient incident detection and resolution, to ensure the continuity of digital technology operations that support existing and new transformational investments. BigPanda’s Open Box Machine Learning is an innovative approach that helps ensure the availability of digital technology while mitigating risk of incidents that impact operations, and inevitably, employees and customers.”
Second, BigPanda’s new Unified Analytics offering provides deep insights into the real-time health and performance of IT Operations.
BigPanda’s Unified Analytics is purpose-built for IT Operations. It provides deep insights into both real-time and historical performance of IT services, applications, infrastructure and teams. Users including IT executives, NOC managers, tools architects, operators and engineers all enjoy instant, out-of-the-box dashboards and reports that are intuitive and insightful.
BigPanda’s Unified Analytics delivers metrics on industry-standard key performance indicators (KPIs) such as mean time to resolution, service level agreements compliance, resolution rates by operator level/tier, and other relevant insights through customizable analytic parameters. Users are able to easily identify and fix service hotspots, inefficient workflows and recurring issues that directly impact customers. Unified Analytics begins delivering value immediately, as organizations are able to track their KPIs out of the box, align them to business impact, and prioritize operational improvements in their most critical areas.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
