Moogsoft announced that Cisco's Cloud and Virtualization Group will offer its Incident.MOOG service quality and productivity improvement software to MSPs, telco service providers, and cloud-driven enterprises.
The global agreement allows Cisco to resell Incident.MOOG generally, as well as package it specifically for its virtual services offers including Virtual Managed Services (VMS).
"Service providers are looking to SDN and NFV technologies to harness the speed and agility of cloud services to deploy new, competitive offerings to market, cutting the time and cost out of ordering, provisioning and changing Managed Services," said Jean-Luc Valente, VP, Cloud and Virtualization Group at Cisco. "But the increased complexity adds a service assurance burden. By including Incident.MOOG as the incident management component of Cisco's Virtualized Managed Service, telcos and MSPs will have an out-of-the-box capability to automatically detect issues that may affect tenant service quality and address them before they become service disrupting."
Service providers can bring to market new value-add services delivered by virtualized network functions including routers, switches, load balancers and firewalls. These services include CloudVPN and Managed Security Edge Gateway, and deployed in an OpenStack based overlay network running on Cisco's Intercloud Service or in the service provider's own data center. Incident.MOOG will come pre-configured to immediately detect service-impacting faults and improve operational workflow using a situation-approach. By clustering related events and alarms into a substantially reduced number of situations, this situation-enabled workflow results in faster resolution of incidents for Tenants of Cisco's customers and enables them to actively participate in the support discussion.
In fall 2014, Cisco Investments, alongside Wing Venture Capital and another large public corporation, joined Moogsoft's Series B round of funding with a strategic investment, which totaled $14.3 million. Incident.MOOG is also deployed within Cisco IT, the organization that manages Cisco's internal infrastructure and Applications.
"Cisco supports virtually every large service provider globally and thousands of enterprises rely on Cisco hardware, software and services to deliver value to their customers," said Mike Silvey, Co-Founder and EVP for BD and Strategy at Moogsoft. "No other monitoring or event management service has truly proven itself in an era where machine data is exploding and configuration management databases have been rendered useless. Cisco recognized it would take a data-driven technology that was architected for complex, dynamic IT environments to proactively capture and surface the IT issues that affect service delivery and impact customer experience."

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
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.
