Operational resilience has become one of the defining goals of modern IT, but achieving it is no longer as simple as standing up a backup system or scripting a failover plan.
On October 8, during our SolarWinds Day virtual event, we unveiled one of the most significant product milestones in our history: the forthcoming launch of the SolarWinds® AI Agent alongside expanded AI capabilities across observability, incident response, databases, and service management.
When we launched our AI by Design principles in April 2024, the IT industry’s focus was on generative AI models that could produce single outputs from single prompts. In just one year, the conversation has shifted rapidly toward agentic AI: autonomous or semi-autonomous systems that plan, act, and learn over multiple steps.
Every October, World Mental Health Day reminds us to look beyond the metrics, systems, and processes to consider the people behind them. For IT professionals, the conversation feels especially timely.

Halloween isn’t the only October event ready to send shivers down your spine.
