Paessler announced the acquisition of UVnetworks, the company behind UVexplorer and UVexplorer Server, a solution for network topology, inventory, and configuration backup.
PRTG, Paessler’s monitoring platform, provides real-time visibility across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud environments. The addition of UVexplorer extends the platform’s capabilities with automatic network topology, dependency visualization and configuration change tracking to deliver enhanced network context during incident investigations:
- Faster root cause identification through automated Layer 2, Layer 3, and port-level network topology mapping.
- Clear visibility into dependencies and impact by understanding upstream relationships and downstream effects across the environment.
- Continuous tracking of network changes through configuration backup, comparison, and change monitoring.
- Reduced operational complexity by bringing monitoring and network context together in a unified operational view.
Together, these capabilities help teams reduce mean time to resolution, minimize manual investigation, and prevent cascading outages before they impact business operations. In addition, the combined platform establishes a foundation for future AI-assisted root cause analysis and automated remediation workflows by providing the network context required to make monitoring systems more intelligent and actionable.
“Modern infrastructure is increasingly distributed, interconnected, and difficult to troubleshoot,” said Jason Teichman, CEO of Paessler. “Bringing UVexplorer into PRTG adds critical topology, dependency, and change intelligence directly into the monitoring workflows teams already rely on. With PRTG and UVexplorer, Paessler is building a more context-aware foundation for the next generation of AI-assisted monitoring and incident response.”
“Monitoring tells teams that something is wrong. Topology helps them understand why,” said Brian Kap, Co-founder of UVnetworks, who joins Paessler as Head of Network Discovery and Topology. “Bringing these capabilities together inside PRTG gives customers a single operational view of their environment and significantly accelerates incident investigation and response.”
UVexplorer is available immediately for Paessler PRTG customers. UVexplorer Server, designed for large and heavily distributed environments, is available for organizations requiring additional scale and network coverage.

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 ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
