Verdande Technology, provider of real-time Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) technology, announced its partnership with Nastel Technologies. Verdande Technology’s CBR-driven Edge Platform will be integrated with Nastel Technologies’ AutoPilot APM solution to provide financial services organizations with two-tier predictive analytics software that will help end users predict system-impacting occurrences before they happen, allowing them to mitigate risk, reduce service outages and remain compliant with regulatory reporting requirements.
Financial services firms are spending millions of dollars on technology, however they still do not have a tool that will adequately warn them of potentially detrimental problems ahead of time. Verdande Technology’s CBR solution is based on the principle that similar problems have similar solutions. By harvesting massive datasets, Verdande Technology identifies impacting events and solutions from past events to provide a realistic assessment as to whether a similar scenario is likely to happen in the future.
With the partnership, Verdande Technology’s CBR platform takes data from Nastel’s AutoPilot solution, and provides real-time actionable intelligence to prevent business-impacting issues before they occur.
Verdande Technology and Nastel worked with one of the world’s largest investment banks to create an early warning system for potential problems. The Bank required an operation support tool that could help increase the value of its “Run the Bank” (RTB) team, which was spending too much time investigating false alarms. The Bank needed a reliable system to map events within its IT infrastructure to previously recorded experiences and map those cases to recorded solutions. Verdande Technology’s Edge Platform was implemented with Nastel’s AutoPilot solution which delivered a powerful, scalable means to collect and source data. The joint solution was then able analyze heterogeneous data sources to create an early warning system for potential problems and offer the Bank solutions based on previous experiences.
“The Verdande Technology and Nastel partnership will bring unprecedented predictive value to financial services organizations – something they are still lacking despite heavy IT investments,” said Jo Kinsella, CEO, financial services. “We look at CBR as the ‘roof of a house,’ which can sit on top of existing IT systems as a value-added early warning system that turns data into actionable insight. In conjunction with Nastel AutoPilot, financial services firms now have a way to predict systems-impacting events before they happen, something that is invaluable in a time of news-making outages and failures and new regulatory reforms.”
“We look at the reduction in user impact, a result of the early-warning system provided to the investment bank, as a great example of the value enterprise customers can gain from the Nastel-Verdande partnership,” said Charley Rich, vice president, product management, at Nastel Technologies. “Enterprises are being buried under big data and finding it difficult to maintain a real-time perspective of their operations. Nastel AutoPilot’s Complex Event Processing (CEP) can turn this big data into small, actionable data, which Verdande CBR can use to provide immediate, actionable insight. The early-warning system based on Nastel’s and Verdande’s technologies gives customers the comfort level they need to execute their programs and grow their businesses in today’s competitive environment.”

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.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
