ScienceLogic expands Skylar One with Geographic Service visibility and greater platform resilience. ScienceLogic announced the "Kyoto" release of Skylar One, the core observability offering of the ScienceLogic AI Platform. As enterprises modernize hybrid IT operations and prepare for more AI-assisted workflows, teams need clearer service context, stronger operational resilience, and faster ways to understand the business impact of infrastructure issues. The Kyoto release advances those priorities with new geographic service visibility, simplified location and device management, improved relationship context, and platform modernization designed to help IT teams operate with greater speed, confidence, and control. Skylar One's Kyoto update helps enterprises manage increasingly complex IT environments spanning hybrid infrastructure, cloud environments, and AI-driven operations. These enhancements provide clearer service context, faster service investigations, simplified location and access management, and improved platform resilience and scalability. Highlights from the Kyoto release include: * Context-rich geographic service visibility: New Geographic Service Maps provide an interactive view of service health, availability, and risk across locations, helping teams assess business impact faster and prioritize response efforts. * Faster, cleaner service investigations: Enhancements to Business Services Investigator 2.0 automatically collapse Skylar AI and change swimlanes when no relevant events exist in the viewed time window, keeping the interface focused on active signals. Users can manually expand or collapse these lanes at any time, helping operators spend less time filtering out noise and more time investigating the signals that matter. * Simplified location management: Updated location management capabilities make it easier to organize devices and services by location, improving operational visibility while reducing administrative overhead. * Enhanced device management and relationship context: Expanded AP2(TM) device management capabilities and improved relationship visualization give teams a clearer view of dependencies, helping shorten investigations, streamline workflows, and troubleshoot with greater confidence. * Centralized user and access management: Global Manager now supports centralized management of user accounts, access keys, organizations, and user policies across managed stacks through API access, helping service providers and enterprise teams reduce administrative overhead, enforce consistent access policies, and improve operational efficiency and security posture. * Greater platform resilience and scalability: Upgrades to the underlying database, cloud infrastructure, high-availability architecture, and runtime components strengthen the stability, security, and scalability required for modern hybrid environments. * More secure automation and integration workflows: New API key authentication strengthens control over integrations, automation workflows, and third-party applications, helping organizations modernize API security while preserving operational flexibility. "As enterprises move from visibility toward AI-assisted and increasingly autonomous operations, they need more than alerts. They need trusted service context that shows what is happening, where it is happening, and what it means for the business," said Michael Nappi, chief product officer at ScienceLogic. "The Kyoto release strengthens Skylar One by giving customers a more accurate understanding of relationships across services, devices, locations, and access policies while modernizing the operational foundation they need to investigate faster and automate with confidence." As the core observability offering of the ScienceLogic AI Platform, Skylar One, together with Skylar AI, Skylar Automation, and Skylar Compliance, delivers deeper service-aware operational intelligence across complex hybrid environments. The Kyoto release builds on recent advancements, including Skylar One "Juneau" and the launch of Skylar(TM) Advisor, further advancing ScienceLogic's commitment to AI-powered IT operations by helping organizations move from fragmented visibility to decision-ready insights and governed automation.

Nvidia GTC 2026: Quobyte appoints storage industry veteran Andrew Perry as Vice president of Sales to drive global expansion. Andrew brings 20+ years of enterprise storage expertise and a proven track record of building world-class sales organizations and scaling high-performance teams through major industry shifts. Quobyte, a provider of high-performance storage, architected for AI, announced the appointment of Andrew Perry as vice president of Sales. Perry, a seasoned sales executive with over two decades of experience in the enterprise storage and data management sectors, will lead Quobyte's global sales strategy as the company enters its next phase of hyper-growth. Perry joins Quobyte from ScienceLogic, where he served as Vice president of Sales for the Americas, consistently driving record-breaking revenue and expanding the company's footprint across the enterprise and public sectors. His career also includes senior leadership roles at Weka, SpringPath and Violin Memory, where he was instrumental in scaling high-performance sales teams and navigating the transition from legacy hardware approaches to modern, cloud-native software architectures. "The storage market is at a massive inflection point. Organizations are moving away from the rigid, expensive hardware silos of the past toward the flexibility and performance of software-defined infrastructure architected for AI," said Björn Kolbeck, CEO and co-founder, Quobyte. "Andrew's track record of building world-class sales organizations and his deep understanding of the high-performance storage landscape make him the perfect leader to accelerate our momentum. His arrival marks a significant milestone as we challenge the incumbents and redefine what's possible in the AI era." Perry's appointment comes at a time of significant disruption in the storage industry. While competitors like Pure Storage, Weka, and Vast Data have highlighted the demand for flash and scale-out architectures, Quobyte's unique software-only, ultra-resilient scale out approach provides a level of hardware independence and operational simplicity that legacy-bound vendors cannot match. "Quobyte is the best-kept secret in the storage industry, and that is about to change," said Andrew Perry, VP, sales, Quobyte. "Having spent my career at the forefront of innovation, I've seen how difficult it is for enterprises to manage massive growth in unstructured data without sacrificing performance or breaking the budget. Quobyte has solved the 'impossible' trade-off between extreme scale and ease of management. I am thrilled to join this world-class team and help our customers build the data foundations they need for the next gen of AI and high-performance computing." At Quobyte, Perry will oversee all aspects of the global sales organization, including direct sales, channel partnerships, and strategic alliances. His immediate focus will be on expanding Quobyte's presence in key verticals such as Neoclouds, Financial Services, M&E, Life Sciences, and Research-sectors where Quobyte's ability to deliver linear scalability and 100% uptime is a critical competitive advantage.
