SolarWinds announced expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) through new integrations with Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers access to high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies through a single API.
This relationship enhances AI innovation at SolarWinds on two fronts: first, using Amazon Bedrock powers generative AI capabilities within the SolarWinds® Platform and SolarWinds Service Desk, and second, enabling SolarWinds Observability to monitor Amazon Bedrock services directly, providing visibility into one of the world’s most advanced AI infrastructures.
SolarWinds leverages the Anthropic family of Claude models through Amazon Bedrock, delivering conversational, context-aware capabilities across its platform, including automated ticket summarization, incident correlation, and intelligent recommendations within SolarWinds Service Desk.
These new experiences are orchestrated through the SolarWinds LLM Gateway, a unified platform service built on AI by Design principles, which provides secure model abstraction across various models.
“Amazon Bedrock gives us a secure, scalable foundation to extend SolarWinds AI across our entire portfolio,” said Krishna Sai, CTO, SolarWinds. “It enables our teams to innovate faster and deliver real-time intelligence and downstream value to customers, while ensuring their data remains private, protected, and under their control.”
In parallel, SolarWinds Observability SaaS now monitors customer workloads on Amazon Bedrock as first-class monitored resources. IT teams can visualize Amazon Bedrock performance—including invocation rates, latency, token throughput, throttling, and overall health—through customizable dashboards and automated alerts powered by the SolarWinds Platform. This capability demonstrates how SolarWinds Observability SaaS can deliver end-to-end insight into even the most sophisticated AI workloads.
“With unified observability, organizations have confidence their AI systems perform reliably, securely, and at scale, accelerating their journey toward autonomous operational resilience,” said Cullen Childress, CPO, SolarWinds.
The SolarWinds AI Agent, announced earlier this fall, is built on Amazon Bedrock and serves as a digital teammate, summarizing incidents, identifying probable root causes, recommending fixes, and automating multi-step workflows through natural language interaction. These capabilities are complemented by recently announced features, such as Root Cause Assist and enhanced dynamic threshold capabilities, which together help IT professionals reduce noise, resolve issues more quickly, and focus on innovation rather than reactive issue management.
By embedding Anthropic Claude 4 and Claude 4.5 models through Amazon Bedrock, SolarWinds is extending AI Agent’s intelligence and automation across its observability, database, and IT service management products. The result is a unified, scalable foundation built on the company’s AI by Design and Secure by Design frameworks, ensuring every innovation is built with transparency, safety, and customer trust at its core.
Many SolarWinds AI features, powered by Amazon Bedrock, are already available in SolarWinds Service Desk. Additional features, such as the SolarWinds AI Agent, improved Root Cause Assist, and Database Query Assist, will soon be rolled out across other products, including SolarWinds Observability SaaS.

Cloud outages are usually described as technical failures. When a service goes down, a dependency breaks, or a region has issues, the focus immediately shifts to infrastructure. But if you look closely at how these incidents actually unfold, the root cause is rarely the technology itself. It is almost always tied to decisions made earlier, during design, implementation, or day-to-day operations. The system behaves the way it was built. The real question is how it was built ...
77% of leaders say their teams need AI skills urgently. 64% say their organization plans to train current employees rather than hire new ones. So far, so reasonable. The part that surprised me is who's been put in charge: 34% of those leaders say IT and engineering own the AI skills mandate. Learning and Development or HR own it at 7% of organizations. That's roughly five-to-one in favor of the people who understand the tools, over the people whose actual job is teaching adults how to learn new ones ...
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, enterprises are increasingly focused on enhancing their observability stacks to gain deeper insights into their IT environments. Observability has become a cornerstone of modern IT operations, enabling organizations to monitor, diagnose, and optimize their systems with unprecedented precision. However, a critical piece of the puzzle often goes unnoticed in this transformation: IBM i ...
We just surveyed 300 frontend and mobile engineers across 16 countries, and the finding that keeps sticking with me isn't the one about AI. It's this: 74% of engineering teams rate themselves in the "middle" of the observability maturity scale. Not reactive, not strategic. Stuck in the middle. They have dashboards, they have tracing, they have alerts. And yet when something goes wrong, they still can't tell you why ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 25, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses AI's impact on the Wide Area Network (WAN) ...
Application performance monitoring (APM) dashboards are only as useful as what they are configured to measure. The default setup covers obvious failure modes such as downtime, error spikes, and latency breaches, but it does not cover everything. Some failures produce no alerts or anomalies. The dashboard stays green while users experience a broken product. Here are six signs that is happening ...
The race to deploy AI is largely over. Most enterprises have entered it. The question now is not whether artificial intelligence is running inside the organization. The question is whether anyone is genuinely responsible for what it does. That is not a technical question. It is a leadership one. And most organizations are not yet structured to answer it honestly ...
A new analysis of 250 real-world queries across common retail tasks, such as product pricing, availability, ratings, shipping and specifications, reveals systemic inefficiency at the heart of web-based AI agents. On average, 97.9% of the data retrieved by agents from live web pages is irrelevant to the query being answered. Specifically, the average page ingested ran nearly 9,000 characters, while the average answer was just 32 characters, resulting in a noise-to-signal ratio of 278:1. Price queries were the most extreme outlier, with noise rates approaching 99.5%. That's not a rounding error. That's a structural problem ...
The enterprises that will define the next decade are not the ones that deployed the most technology. They are the ones who understood what their technology was actually doing. That distinction is not a philosophical point. It is the central operational challenge facing every organization that has spent the last five years modernizing at speed ...
AI is becoming the operating system of the enterprise. It acts as an invisible coordination layer that understands intent, connects systems, and executes work across complex SaaS environments. Previously, employees had to click through multiple systems — CRM, ERP, support tools, collaboration platforms — to complete a single task. Now, instead of navigating each application manually, they can simply state what they need to accomplish ...
