The short version
- Riverbed NPM 360 integrates agentic AI capabilities of Riverbed IQ and Q into Riverbed’s AppResponse and NetProfiler tool and extend network visibility across remote users, Zero Trust architecture, and public environments with NPM+, according to the company.
- Riverbed IQ serves as the intelligence layer behind NPM 360, applying causal, predictive, generative, and agentic AI across operational data.
- Riverbed Q provides a conversational interface that lets network professionals investigate performance problems using natural-language questions instead of navigating multiple dashboards and queries, says Richard Tworek , chief technology officer at Riverbed.
What happened
“We see in the marketplace that the ‘gray beards’ are starting to disappear,” Tworek says. With Network 360, Tworek says, an operator can ask a question and let the platform determine which systems and network data are relevant to the problem.
Why it matters
“Just ask the question,” Tworek says.
