Riverbed has introduced new Riverbed Network 360 offerings that combine 360-degree network visibility with agentic AI to help network operations teams accelerate troubleshooting, identify root causes, predict emerging issues and prevent disruptions before they affect users. The offerings integrate Riverbed IQ and Q into AppResponse and NetProfiler while extending visibility across remote users, Zero Trust architectures, data centers and public cloud environments through NPM+. Riverbed IQ applies causal, predictive, generative and agentic AI across operational data to correlate evidence, identify likely causes and recommend actions, while Riverbed Q provides a natural-language interface for investigations without requiring teams to navigate multiple dashboards and tools. AppResponse contributes full-fidelity packet capture and analysis, while NetProfiler provides enterprise-scale flow monitoring and analytics, creating a broader evidence base for AI-driven network operations.

“For decades, network monitoring tools have surfaced the evidence, but network professionals have still had to manually connect the dots,” said Richard Tworek, Chief Technology Officer, at Riverbed. “That model can no longer keep pace as applications span data centers, public clouds and SaaS environments, employees work from anywhere, and Zero Trust architectures add new visibility gaps across networks IT may not own or control. With Network 360, Riverbed is bringing agentic AI directly into network operations by turning deep network evidence from hybrid environments into contextual insight, faster root-cause identification, predictive awareness of emerging issues and recommended next actions.” The combined capabilities are intended to support faster resolution and increasingly proactive network management.
