SolarWinds<\/a> has launched Avior<\/a>\u2122<\/sup>, a standalone, goal-oriented agentic AI system built for mission-critical IT environments. The company provides AI-powered observability, incident response, database management and ITSM software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior is built on the SolarWinds platform. It helps IT teams securely define goals, coordinate specialized agents and track progress toward measurable outcomes. It works across hybrid digital ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The launch comes as technology infrastructure grows more complex and business-critical. Variable outcomes can add risk and costs. Many IT organizations already absorb these in outage minutes, audit exposure and senior engineering time. Therefore, AI needs to deliver cost savings, downtime reduction and operational resilience that teams can measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior is designed to take on first-line work. This lets teams be more strategic and address the needs of their growing digital estates. As a standalone application, it works across products and environments. It diagnoses issues or actions from the perspective of an operator. It also pursues goals that span the estate with advanced root cause analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trust and control are central to the design. Avior operates within strict security guardrails and uses risk-tiered autonomy. As a result, potentially dangerous actions always require explicit human approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior is anchored in AI by Design, the responsible-AI framework SolarWinds applies across its portfolio. Humans stay in the loop through granular audit trails, goal tracking and automated rollback support. Data masking and strict least-privilege tool access add further safeguards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior is also built on three core pillars. It is goal-oriented, so it operates within a control loop in pursuit of measurable goals. It is transparent, so it shows its reasoning in detailed, auditable language an operator can understand. It is controlled, so it enables fine-grained autonomy control at every level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior pairs AI intelligence with a deterministic execution framework. This framework pursues predefined goals within clear guardrails, approval controls and auditable workflows. In turn, IT teams get a more controlled and repeatable path from insight to action. It also helps them move beyond reactive firefighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teams can use Avior today to orchestrate a range of operational outcomes, with more on the way. First, it can reduce alert noise by correlating related events into a single actionable incident. That way, teams work the problem instead of the queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, it can reduce compliance violations. It continuously audits devices against a policy baseline and surfaces the gaps, with a record of every change. It can also remediate configuration drift by detecting out-of-band changes. It then restores the last-known-good configuration on the devices that matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior can also ensure configuration backups. It snapshots and archives running configurations on a set schedule and flags any device that falls out of coverage. In addition, it can manage capacity and cost. It tracks utilization and spend against the headroom the team wants to keep. It flags what needs attention before it becomes an incident or an invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, Avior can manage the asset lifecycle. It retires ghost entities that no longer exist but still clutter dashboards and fire alerts. It also tracks inventory, firmware versions and end-of-life exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Krishna Sai, Chief Technology Officer at SolarWinds, said enterprises need AI to evolve in mission-critical IT work. \u201cWhen AI exists in mission critical IT work, enterprises need this technology to graduate from virtual assistant to trusted teammate,\u201d he said. \u201cAvior grounds probabilistic models in deterministic execution, so operators stay in control of high-risk decisions. That is how IT shifts from managing alerts to orchestrating resilient, goal-driven operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sai added that the value goes beyond model access. \u201cIt is operational context and governed execution,\u201d he said. \u201cTwenty-five years of understanding how these environments actually behave is encoded in the goals, skills, and tools inside Avior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cullen Childress, Interim CEO and Chief Product Officer at SolarWinds, pointed to the limits of reaction time. \u201cIT operations have long been measured by how quickly teams can respond,\u201d he said. \u201cBut as environments become more complex, distributed, and noisy, reaction time alone is no longer enough. Organizations need to move proactively, reduce operational risk, and build resilience into the way IT work gets done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He added that Avior was designed for this shift. \u201cAvior was designed to meet this moment, helping teams shift from managing alerts to orchestrating outcomes with clear goals, guardrails, and control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abdul Rehman Tariq Butt, Regional Director, Middle East at SolarWinds, highlighted the channel opportunity. \u201cI\u2019m especially excited to bring Avior to our channel partners, who drive all of our business in the Middle East,\u201d he said. \u201cThey already run the hybrid, compliance-heavy environments that the region\u2019s largest banks, government entities and telcos rely on. Avior\u2019s auditable, risk-gated approach gives them a trusted way to introduce agentic AI into those estates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He noted that the guided onboarding program supports a phased start. \u201cIt lets them start with clear outcomes, such as compliance and configuration control, then grow from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avior is available beginning October 14, 2026, through a guided onboarding program.
