In 7 days, IBM TechXchange 2026 opens in Atlanta. Thousands of developers, architects and IT leaders will gather to talk AI, hybrid cloud and automation.
And we're bringing a panda.
Not just any panda. Meet WANDA, the agentic AI from Wanclouds that lets you chat with your infrastructure. WANDA finds the root cause of an outage in seconds, keeps you audit-ready, and cuts cloud costs. Then it waits for your approval before touching anything.
Here's why WANDA is worth meeting, what it delivers in real numbers, and how you can try it free today.
Meet WANDA: no dashboards, no scripting, just answers
Cloud and IT operations have become a multi-billion-dollar problem: millions of alerts, dozens of dashboards and bloated costs.
WANDA flips that. Instead of digging through tools, you simply ask:
- "What caused last night's SQL DB outage?"
- "Which systems violate security baselines?"
- "Give me an executive summary of the last 24 hours."
- "Which end-of-life operating systems are we running?"
WANDA correlates logs, metrics, events and configs across infrastructure, apps, network and security, then answers in plain language. It works 24/7, in multiple languages, across IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, Kubernetes and on-prem. No agents need to be installed on each device, and there's no vendor lock-in.
WANDA by the numbers

Here's what teams typically achieve with WANDA:
| Metric | Typical result |
|---|---|
| Incident resolution time | 70–80% faster |
| Unplanned downtime | 60–70% less |
| Infrastructure costs | 30–40% lower |
| Security incidents | 70% fewer |
| Compliance audit effort | 90% less |
| Payback period | About 3 months |
The biggest shift is time. When root cause takes seconds instead of hours, teams stop firefighting and start improving. Mean time to resolution drops without manual triage, and without adding headcount.
Figures are typical customer results reported by Wanclouds; results vary by environment.
What this panda can do
- Troubleshoot in seconds. Autonomous root-cause analysis across infrastructure, apps, network and security, with noise reduction and alert de-duplication.
- Back up and migrate. Orchestrate backups of Classic VSIs, VMware VMs and data to IBM Cloud Object Storage, ready to restore in IBM Cloud VPC. It also works with Veeam backups.
- Stay compliant. Continuous checks against CIS, NIST, ISO, PCI, SOC 2, HIPAA and Saudi NCA, plus drift detection and audit-ready evidence.
- Cut costs. Right-sizing, idle and waste detection, and capacity insights.
- Remember everything. Past incidents, failure patterns and your policies, so answers get faster over time and less depends on tribal knowledge.
- Ask before acting. Every create, update or delete needs your explicit approval, and every action is logged and audited.
