WanAware announced the launch of its advanced intelligent observability platform, including its proprietary Knowledge Discovery Engine (KDE).
WanAware provides businesses with the tools to effectively address performance, availability, and security challenges in today's complex IT environments.
WanAware addresses a long-standing challenge in IT observability: outdated legacy tools and antiquated models that aggregate data but fail to provide actionable insights. These limitations expose organizations to cybersecurity threats, inefficiencies, and performance bottlenecks. With the rapid growth of connected assets, IT teams face an overwhelming volume of data that traditional tools can't manage effectively. WanAware's platform, centered around its KDE, leverages advanced technologies to transform raw data into meaningful intelligence, offering real-time insights without the need for specialized expertise.
"Our mission has always been to elevate performance, availability, and security monitoring to meet the demands of modern IT ecosystems," says Jeff Collins, CEO of WanAware. "For too long, organizations have relied on outdated tools that generate noise without actionable guidance. WanAware changes that by offering intelligent observability, enabling teams to focus on what truly matters."
WanAware offers the following capabilities:
- True Intelligent Visibility: The platform collects and analyzes over 10 billion globally connected IP addresses, refreshing data every four hours to provide real-time and historical insights. This unparalleled data depth offers organizations a comprehensive understanding of their IT environments.
- Contextual Awareness: Using over 10 trillion data points, WanAware applies AI, machine learning, and advanced graph database infrastructure to contextualize and correlate data. This ensures organizations can identify patterns, behaviors, and critical risks with ease and before they occur, offering automated remediation workflows to minimize downtime and shift IT operations from reactive to predictive.
- Agentless Architecture: The platform's agentless architecture eliminates the need for software rollouts or manual deployments, reducing costs and complexity while ensuring seamless scalability across diverse IT environments.
- Business Impact Analysis: By analyzing the causal chain of IT issues, WanAware determines the Total Scope of Impact (TSOI), offering organizations a precise view of affected systems and enabling faster, more effective resolutions.
- Integrated Security and Compliance: With real-time threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and zero-trust principles, WanAware ensures robust security alongside comprehensive observability.
WanAware's platform is designed for accessibility. Generalist IT teams can easily implement and operate the solution, eliminating the need for highly specialized expertise. This democratization of intelligent observability ensures organizations of all sizes-from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies-can harness its power.
The platform's ability to monitor both external and on-premise assets allows organizations to gain visibility across their entire IT ecosystem, including IoT devices, cloud services, and legacy infrastructure. WanAware's approach reduces noise by prioritizing actionable events, saving teams from wading through unnecessary alerts.
"Observability should be intelligent, not complex," says Wes Jensen, COO at WanAware. "Our platform sets a new standard by delivering clarity and confidence to organizations navigating an increasingly connected and data-driven landscape."

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 ...
