CloudFabrix Releases Macaw - The Generative AI Assistant

CloudFabrix announced the availability of its "Macaw", Generative AI assistant and Edge enhancements for Telcos, MSP's and Enterprises.

Operational domains are converging around data and operational personas are having a hard time deriving actionable insights from this data deluge. Observability and AIOps require asking ad-hoc and forward-looking questions about your operational data and connecting the business and IT context.

Macaw and RDAF Are a Perfect Match

The "Macaw" Generative AI Assistant leverages natural language Conversational queries and uniquely identifies the prompt context leveraging the Low code Robotic Data Automation Fabric (RDAF) platform. It then uses Azure's OpenAI LLM (large language model) service and CloudFabrix's LLM, for semantic search on local knowledge corpus to glean insights and investigate data, compose and explain pipelines, and compose dashboards and service tickets. "Macaw" ensures privacy and governance over local data and data transfer between LLMs with user-defined policies. "Macaw" breaks down operational silos around data and democratizes Observability and AIOps. Initially, Macaw will be used for upskilling and reskilling of operational personas and eventually for AIOps insights.

RDAF Edge

With 5G and Edge use cases proliferating, this RDAF platform release also includes RDAF Edge, packaged in a single VM to run on edge endpoints. RDAF Edge ingests actionable data with real-time topology enrichment, to a central data platform or data lake. RDA Edge also enables Observability Data Modernization Service where Non-OTel data is transformed into OTel data for ingestion into any OpenTelemetry-based Observability backend cloud.

Composable Dashboards for Telco

Telcos need the ability to ingest multiple data types - syslogs, SNMP traps, gNMI, Bulkstats, OpenTelemetry across domains - Campus, Datacenter, Cloud, Mobility / 5G, Optical, etc. across devices, controllers, Physical(PNF's), virtual(VNF's) and cloud-native (CNF's) network functions. Telco Service Assurance needs a single pane of glass to visualize aggregated data across these disparate sources with persona-based composable dashboards.

Field Customizable and Extensible Bot Based Architecture

RDAF's Bot-based streaming architecture builds on top of microservices and event-driven Function-as-a-service (FaaS) with the added advantage of pre-built code for composability, field customization, and extensibility. This lends itself very well to multiple data-centric use cases.

"This is a very transformative release, converging Generative AI for efficiency and RDAF low code platform for accelerated development," said Shailesh Manjrekar, Vice President of AI and SaaS Marketing. "Generative AI is transforming the industry, but it is important to integrate it into the core product, understand the prompt context, and train on private data, which is uniquely done by CloudFabrix's Macaw. This is going to fuel innovation for operational personas," he added.

The Latest

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 ...
