SolarWinds announced the launch of SolarWinds®? AI to transform IT operations and empower tech pros to manage the complexities of modern digital environments. The purpose-built generative AI engine was developed using the company's newly unveiled AI by Design framework to help ensure privacy, security, and reliability in developing advanced AI technologies.

SolarWinds AI is first being introduced in SolarWinds Service Desk, the company's world-class IT service management (ITSM) solution for improving IT outcomes, service delivery, and employee satisfaction. SolarWinds AI powers a transformative new generative AI feature in Service Desk, designed to supercharge agent workflows and facilitate empowered, high-performing IT teams to resolve tickets in minutes rather than hours or days. This accelerated remediation process helps create a world-class experience for employees across the organization by minimizing downtime and outages.

Powered by large language models (LLMs) and proprietary algorithms, SolarWinds AI in Service Desk instantlyizes complex ticket histories, provides suggested agent responses to inquiries, and generates real-time recommended steps for resolving issues. The company also plans to introduce SolarWinds AI throughout its suite of observability and IT management solutions, adding a new digital partner for DevOps, SecOps, database teams, and beyond. AI by Design is a rigorous framework for creating secure, productive, and enduring AI-driven solutions, guided by four key principles: Privacy and Security: To help ensure unparalleled data safety, SolarWinds AI is designed to secure personal data collection, storage, use, and protection through robust measures, like role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access management (PAM), and anonymization techniques.

Sensitive customer data does not pass through external large language models (LLMs), and SolarWinds AI improves based on usage patterns and organizational needs without compromising data privacy. Accountability and Fairness: SolarWinds AI proactively includes humans in training and testing to oversee AI-guided decision-making processes to avoid biases. Simplicity and Accessibility: SolarWinds AI is built into the company's user-friendly product interfaces to help ensure the continuation of regular workflows and existing user procedures, behaviors, and practices.

SolarWinds is committed to improving the lives of IT professionals by urgently responding to the emerging needs and challenges facing technology teams. Building on the success of its Secure by Design initiative, the company is now pioneering AI by Design as a forward-thinking industry model for developing and implementing AI technologies.
