Self-Healing Infrastructure in an Agentic AI World

Every minute your systems are down, you lose more than revenue. You lose trust.

IT leaders know this all too well. When a critical incident hits, operations stall, SLAs slip, and teams scramble. EMA research puts the cost of downtime at $23,750 per minute for large enterprises.

The tools may be better. But they still don’t talk to each other. Ops teams are short on time. Context-switching across dashboards eats up hours. The data is there, yet it’s scattered, and no one sees the full picture.

That’s why incident response is still slow, reactive, and deeply manual. Fragmented signals, rising system complexity, and siloed ownership all stretch resolution timelines. In 58% of cases, it takes over 30 minutes just to get the right teams involved before diagnosis can even begin. More dashboards won’t fix that. What’s needed is a different kind of operating model.

Where Time Really Goes During an Incident

Most teams know the drill: the alerts come in, and so does the scramble. Engineers pivot between dashboards, chat threads, and tickets, trying to make sense of what’s going on, and who needs to be involved.

The challenge is the friction of stitching it all together. Ownership is unclear. Logs are spread across systems. Teams end up repeating the same questions over and over again.

Even with automation in place, the reality is that most incidents still rely on human judgement. That approach may work at a small scale. In enterprise environments, it breaks down fast. The systems are too complex.

From Reactive to Autonomous: A Shift in Approach

There’s a growing recognition that incident response needs to move beyond dashboards and runbooks. Teams are looking for ways to reduce manual overhead, accelerate decision-making, and handle common issues.

One approach gaining traction is agentic AI, which are intelligent systems that don’t just observe and alert, but take action. These systems can correlate events and execute predefined (or learned) responses in real time. The goal is to augment the repetitive, high-pressure work that distracts from strategic priorities.

This is where Z.O.E., the Zero-Touch Operations Engine from Squid AI, enters the picture.

What Z.O.E Does Differently

Z.O.E. is an orchestration layer built to operate across your existing systems—on-prem, cloud, or hybrid—and resolve incidents autonomously.

In practice, this looks like fewer escalations, faster resolution, and more predictable operations, even when things go sideways. Z.O.E. also integrates with the platforms you already rely on, including Kubernetes, Datadog, Oracle DB, and Okta. There's no need to replatform, rebuild workflows, or redesign your environment to benefit.

How Teams are Using It

Z.O.E. delivers what matters most to modern ops teams:

• Fast: Resolve incidents by eliminating the delays and automating triage.

• Autonomous: From signal to solution, Z.O.E. handles the full response lifecycle.

• Flexible: Deploy on-prem, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.

• Secure: SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. Enterprise-grade controls and visibility.
