IR launches Iris for HPE Nonstop, bringing AI-powered observability insights to mission-critical infrastructure

Integrated Research (IR), a leading global provider of observability solutions, has unveiled Iris for Nonstop, a significant advancement in AI-powered observability designed for mission-critical infrastructure. This new solution embeds IR's conversational AI intelligence layer, Iris, directly within the Prognosis Platform, specifically optimized for HPE Nonstop environments. HPE Nonstop systems are integral to high-volume, always-on operations in sectors such as financial services, retail, and telecommunications, where uninterrupted availability is paramount. Traditionally, accessing and interpreting data from these complex environments required specialized expertise. Iris for Nonstop addresses this challenge by enabling IT teams, business application stakeholders, and other users to interact with the system using intuitive natural language queries. Users can pose questions like "Is CPU usage normal for this time period?" or "Can you show me the network traffic trends over the past 2 weeks?" In response, Iris delivers comprehensive explanations, relevant context, and actionable recommendations. This capability is expected to dramatically reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR) for incidents by transforming real-time telemetry from Prognosis into guided insights, thereby streamlining troubleshooting in critical Nonstop settings. Moreover, Iris for Nonstop broadens access to vital performance and capacity data, presenting it in an easily digestible format for a wider audience, including IT personnel, business leaders, and executives, through natural-language summaries and reports. The solution also enhances proactive management by utilizing Prognosis Infrastructure, Business Insight, and Batch Manager functionalities to identify trends in capacity, usage patterns, and batch workloads. This foresight empowers organizations to anticipate and prevent potential issues before they impact production. Iris for Nonstop is currently available as part of Prognosis 13.3 for existing clients using IR Infrastructure and the Prognosis Platform for HPE Nonstop. This launch reinforces IR's commitment to delivering advanced AI-powered intelligence directly to IT operations, converting intricate telemetry into rapid, actionable insights.
