ITRS announced a new set of AI-powered SRE agents to help IT operations teams identify and resolve incidents faster and with fewer resources.
Built on a new agentic AI layer across the ITRS real-time observability platform, the SRE agents augment IT teams with:
- Recommendations grounded in transparent reasoning, so operators can see why an action is suggested and stay in control of decisions.
- An agnostic inference architecture, giving clients flexibility to use their own models and benchmark performance using an in-product evaluation framework.
- Continuous ingestion of live telemetry data (metrics, events, logs, and traces), so every recommendation is informed by real-time operational context.
”Agentic AI is becoming a cornerstone of resilience in complex, high-demanding IT environments where reliability is both business critical and regulated,” said Ryan Terpstra, CEO of ITRS. “Our SRE agents help IT operations teams spot issues earlier and get to the root cause in seconds and minutes, meaning fewer outages, faster recovery, and less client impact.”
ITRS prioritizes evidence-based reasoning and enterprise-grade controls, supporting teams responsible for complex, always-on production environments.
The initial release includes:
- Root cause analysis (RCA) agent, correlating metrics, events, logs, and traces to surface evidence-based root-cause candidates with clear explanations.
- Support agent, delivering natural-language, context-aware assistance across Geneos and ITRS Analytics to accelerate onboarding, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Website monitoring agent, automatically identifying monitoring gaps across web assets and generating the right synthetic monitors with clear, actionable recommendations to reduce mean time to identification.
“Agentic AI must work in the realities of production environments — where uptime, auditability, and accountability matter,” Terpstra continued. “Our approach enables automation that improves operational resilience without compromising compliance.”
These capabilities are available today in beta.

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 ...
