IT operations teams are under constant pressure to manage increasingly complex environments while maintaining the performance, availability, and security that mission-critical workloads demand. For organizations running on IBM Power, the next evolution of operations is emerging through agentic and AI-assisted capabilities that move beyond simple automation toward intelligent operations. In this session, we will explore how insights from telemetry, observability, and operational data are laying the foundation for a new generation of AI-driven operational models. You will learn how agentic systems can analyze system behavior, recommend actions, and increasingly execute operational tasks. Join us to understand the vision for agentic operations on Power, how organizations can begin their journey from insight to autonomy, and what their transformation could mean for the future of enterprise infrastructure management.
