Cisco Outshift Features DataWell for Internet of Agents as Downtime Costs Global 2000 $600 Billion

1 articles · Updated · EIN Presswire · Jun 18

Summary

  • DataWell, highlighted by Cisco Outshift, positions itself as the system-intelligence layer for AGNTCY-connected agents, aiming to show enterprises how agent networks behave after deployment.
  • 68% of technology leaders worry their agents will behave unpredictably, and Splunk said every surveyed leader reported some AI-related downtime, underscoring the need for visibility into agent dependencies.
  • In one 8-hour infrastructure dataset, DataWell said its engine found 211 direct relationships and modeled a 70.5% improvement in disk I/O wait time before any system changes were made.
  • AGNTCY—created by Cisco, donated to the Linux Foundation, and backed by more than 80 partners including Google, Red Hat, Dell and Oracle—provides identity, discovery, secure messaging and interoperability rails.
  • The pitch comes ahead of August 2026 EU AI Act enforcement, with penalties up to €15 million or 3% of global turnover for systems that cannot demonstrate traceability.
