About Broadcom WatchTower Platform
Enhancing business performance by simplifying the identification and resolution of high-priority incidents. The WatchTower Platform is an observability solution that simplifies incident resolution in mainframe environments by integrating and correlating events, data flows, and metrics across IT silos. It offers a unified, user-friendly experience for operations teams to streamline workflows. Built on familiar AIOps solutions, WatchTower detects potential issues early, facilitating proactive avoidance. It also uses OpenTelemetry to stream mainframe data and insights to observability tools, enabling enterprise SREs to identify bottlenecks and enhance operational efficiency. WatchTower augments alerts with pertinent context, eliminating the need for multiple tool logins to collect critical information. WatchTower workflows expedite problem identification, investigation, and incident resolution, and simplify problem handover and escalation.

NeuBird
NeuBird AI is an AI-powered Site Reliability Engineering platform that acts like your smartest, most tireless SRE who is watching your entire stack around the clock so your team doesn't have to.
When something goes wrong, it doesn't just fire an alert. It investigates. It pulls from your logs, metrics, traces, and incident tickets, figures out what actually broke and why, and tells your team exactly what to do next, or just handles it.
Hawkeye by NeuBird connects to the tools you already use, like Datadog, Splunk, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, AWS CloudWatch, and more and reasons across all of them the way a senior engineer would, without the 2 AM wake-up call.
The result: incidents that used to take hours to resolve get closed in minutes, with MTTR cut by up to 90%. It runs continuously, deploys as SaaS or inside your own VPC, and works within your existing security controls. No rip-and-replace required.
Triage and resolve incidents proactively, and faster. Escalate less.

Edge Delta
Edge Delta is a new way to do observability that helps developers and operations teams monitor datasets and create telemetry pipelines. We process your log data as it's created and give you the freedom to route it anywhere.
Our primary differentiator is our distributed architecture. We are the only observability provider that pushes data processing upstream to the infrastructure level, enabling users to process their logs and metrics as soon as they’re created at the source.
We combine our distributed approach with a column-oriented backend to help users store and analyze massive data volumes without impacting performance or cost.
By using Edge Delta, customers can reduce observability costs without sacrificing visibility. Additionally, they can surface insights and trigger alerts before data leaves their environment.
