US-based enterprise software company SolarWinds has announced the release of Avior, a standalone agentic AI system designed for use in enterprise IT environments.
The new product is aimed at helping IT teams achieve specific operational goals, while maintaining control and oversight over critical digital infrastructure.

The company stated that Avior was developed to operate across a wide range of IT products and environments, allowing teams to define objectives, manage specialist agents, and monitor progress within hybrid digital systems.
According to SolarWinds, the system is intended to address the challenges posed by increasingly complex technology infrastructures.
The company states that unpredictability in these environments can lead to unacceptable risks and additional costs, including outages, security exposures, and increased demand on senior engineering staff.
Avior functions as an independent application capable of diagnosing issues from an operator’s viewpoint and pursuing wide-ranging goals using advanced root cause analysis.
SolarWinds explained that, by handling first-line tasks, the system is expected to enable IT organisations to act more strategically and proactively respond to the requirements of expanding digital estates.
The company emphasised that Avior incorporates strict security features, including risk-tiered autonomy, which ensures that actions deemed potentially hazardous require human approval.
The platform supports audit trails, granular goal tracking, data masking, automated rollback, and restricted access, all within a responsible-AI framework referred to as “AI by Design.”
SolarWinds said these measures are intended to safeguard customer environments and keep personnel involved in critical decisions.
Avior is based on three main principles. These include pursuing measurable goals through automated processes, providing transparency by documenting its reasoning in operator-friendly language, and offering fine control of its level of autonomy.
The system supports various operational functions, such as reducing alert noise by correlating related events and auditing devices for compliance. It also addresses configuration drift, ensures regular configuration backups, manages resource usage and costs, and maintains asset inventories.
SolarWinds interim CEO and chief product officer Cullen Childress said: “IT operations have long been measured by how quickly teams can respond. But as environments become more complex, distributed, and noisy, reaction time alone is no longer enough.
“Organisations need to move proactively, reduce operational risk, and build resilience into the way IT work gets done. Avior was designed to meet this moment, helping teams shift from managing alerts to orchestrating outcomes with clear goals, guardrails, and control.”
In 2025, SolarWinds was acquired by Turn/River Capital in a transaction valued at $4.4bn.
