SolarWinds signed an agreement to acquire Squadcast, an incident response solution company based in San Francisco.
Squadcast unites on-call alerting and incident response along with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) workflows under one hood to automate human tasks efficiently.
Squadcast users report benefits like a 68% reduction in the average mean time to remediation (MTTR), and savings of 1,000 work hours and $500K in costs. Its products are guided by a customer-centricity that aligns well with the SolarWinds mission and commitment to the technology professional community.
“With the industry battles to operationally manage and control hybrid ecosystems and the massive influx of alerts, IT professionals need a more powerful solution to cut through the noise,” said Cullen Childress, SolarWinds Chief Product Officer. “The addition of intelligent incident response from Squadcast to the SolarWinds Platform further accelerates MTTR, allowing practitioners to not only accelerate time to detection of incidents but to remediate those incidents in an accelerated manner, maximizing their operational resilience.”
Amiya Adwitiya, Squadcast Founder and CEO, said, “By optimizing incident response with AI, customers reduce noise, enhance efficiency, and resolve incidents faster—so they can focus on what truly matters.”
SolarWinds empowers customers to navigate complex hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments, accelerating modernization and cloud migration initiatives. In 2024, the company launched new capabilities to SolarWinds® Observability Self-Hosted and SolarWinds Observability SaaS, along with enhancements to its service management and database monitoring solutions. SolarWinds also introduced new AI-powered features across its ITSM, database, and SaaS observability platforms.
The SaaS-based offering will complement the company's current portfolio, which serves the needs of IT organizations at businesses of all sizes, from SMBs to large enterprises. The new enhancements to the SolarWinds portfolio are available now, with deployment options tailored to meet the needs of organizations of all sizes. Squadcast solutions are available on both the AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

For years, the success of DevOps has been measured by how much manual work teams can automate ... I believe that in 2026, the definition of DevOps success is going to expand significantly. The era of automation is giving way to the era of intelligent delivery, in which AI doesn't just accelerate pipelines, it understands them. With open observability connecting signals end-to-end across those tools, teams can build closed-loop systems that don't just move faster, but learn, adapt, and take action autonomously with confidence ...
The conversation around AI in the enterprise has officially shifted from "if" to "how fast." But according to the State of Network Operations 2026 report from Broadcom, most organizations are unknowingly building their AI strategies on sand. The data is clear: CIOs and network teams are putting the cart before the horse. AI cannot improve what the network cannot see, predict issues without historical context, automate processes that aren't standardized, or recommend fixes when the underlying telemetry is incomplete. If AI is the brain, then network observability is the nervous system that makes intelligent action possible ...

Now, with the demands of AI and other modern use cases, logical data management is on the rise, so it's "new" to many. Here, I'd like to introduce you to it and explain how it works ...
