Gluware announced the release of Gluware 5.3, that accelerates and expands the capabilities of network automation within customers' mission critical networks.
With its latest update, Gluware is empowering IT leaders to secure networks faster and ensure network performance through a suite of comprehensive plug-and-play features. By simplifying the deployment and management of these network solutions, Gluware enables IT teams to ensure business continuity with greater efficiency.
As part of its enhancements, Gluware 5.3 features updates to Network RPA, allowing users to program any third-party API call through the platform's a drag-and-drop interface, optimizing integrations and delivering the fastest time to value in the industry. It also offers new software delivery features that allow for more flexibility and granularity in providing OS upgrades at scale. Furthermore, Gluware 5.3 has added support for third-party solutions in OS Manager, giving netops teams improved management capabilities of their multi-vendor network environments to enhance security, reduce risk, and prevent outages.
"At Gluware, customer success is our top priority," said Ernest Lefner, Chief Product Officer at Gluware. "We have a deep understanding of customers' critical priorities and are laser-focused on building products that make their work easier and deliver tangible results. Gluware 5.3 is a testament to our team's commitment, and we're incredibly proud of the advancements it brings to the market. This update is just the first wave of exciting developments we have planned for this year as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in network hyperautomation."
Additionally, Gluware 5.3 includes the following updates:
- Expanded IPv6 support for file servers to support the federal government's mandated transition to Ipv6 by the end of 2025
- Enhanced prebuilt integrations with ServiceNow and Cisco to address more use cases and simplify network management
- Configuration backup and restore for reducing downtime, improving disaster recovery, increasing consistency across multiple systems, and enhancing security. Now customers can easily complete configuration backup and restore without the requirement of using configuration modeling
- Increased multi-vendor and multi-domain support, including new OS Manager options, Cisco ACI contracts support for tenant management, OS Manager support for Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela), and configuration modeling
- Network RPA enhancements, including several new tasks and new features, such as Object Compare and GluAPI Get Workflow

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 ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
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.
