Nobl9 and Evolutio, formed a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of the Cisco Observability Platform by bringing functionality to the Cisco ecosystem faster.
The partnership brings together a blend of Nobl9’s Reliability Center, an advanced software reliability platform, and Evolutio’s observability solutions built for different industry business processes, offering businesses a robust pathway to IT transformation. By integrating Nobl9’s precision in reliability metrics and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) with Evolutio’s methodology for enabling Observability maturity with a Center of Excellence approach, the alliance addresses the critical need for both advanced tools and services that drive executive-level business outcomes in modern enterprise environments.
Evolutio has demonstrated its expertise in the Cisco Observability Platform with custom-built modules that provide business process views. By leveraging Cisco Observability Platform’s unique extensibility, Evolutio has built modules targeting revenue-impacting business flows for fintech, insurance, eCommerce, and manufacturing clients. Nobl9, meanwhile, launched a differentiated reliability and observability module that integrates their award-winning Service Level Objectives-driven platform, allowing Cisco customers to view near real-time and historical reliability of their services. Together, the two companies offer a powerhouse combination of product development and IT strategy that will provide reliability insights as impactful to a CIO as they are to a Site Reliability Engineer.
“Nobl9 and Evolutio have been integral partners in expanding the capabilities of Cisco Full-Stack Observability offerings,” says Carlos Pereira, Fellow and Chief Architect, Cisco. “What they’ve done individually has been incredibly valuable, and we’re looking forward to seeing the results of this collaboration.”
The partnership represents a significant opportunity for both organizations. Nobl9’s monitoring and reliability platform is purpose-built around Service Level Objectives (SLOs). As such, it provides an excellent way for Cisco users to roll monitoring of disparate elements of their services up into dashboards representing a service or product’s customer experience.
“We were impressed the first time we saw how Nobl9 made site reliability simpler and more effective, all at the same time,” says George Nassopoulos, Evolutio’s VP of Strategic Partnerships. “We knew the SLO functionality would be very exciting for our own clients, and it augments Cisco Observability well. Working with Nobl9 is going to help us craft observability views, with SLOs mapped to a client’s digital transformation objectives.”
Evolutio’s long experience working with Cisco, developing client-centric views for various industries, and driving IT strategy and transformation for a myriad of clients, will ensure that the partnership works towards goals that have maximum benefits for the Cisco Observability Platform’s user base.
“Evolutio’s core is IT expertise. Period,” says Jaypal Sethi, Nobl9’s SVP of Business Development. “They know how to build and manage an IT strategy that will take a company from 2004 to 2035, tech-wise. We’re thrilled to be working together and are confident this partnership helps Cisco Full-Stack Observability customers manage their environments.”

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.
