We’ve Officially Entered the GPU Era

GPUs are now the foundation of modern AI infrastructure, and for companies running large-scale models, that changes everything. Unlike CPUs which are built for general-purpose processing, GPUs are optimized for massive parallel computation, making them essential for training and deploying today’s most powerful AI systems. This shift is already in motion. OpenAI’s Stargate supercomputer, NVIDIA’s DGX platforms, and infrastructure providers like CoreWeave and Captex all rely on GPU acceleration. By the end of the year, Dell and others will be shipping GPU-based systems as the new standard for enterprise AI workloads. 

The reason is clear: if you want to be capital efficient with AI, you need the performance-per-dollar that GPUs provide. But all that performance means little if the surrounding operations are disorganized. AI thrives on simplicity, not fragmented infrastructure.

Most Enterprises in 2025 are Drowning in SaaS Tools and Apps

A typical large company runs over 300 software applications, yet few of these tools actually work together in synchronous ease. In fact, the average business uses 367 different apps and systems, forcing workers to waste 2.4 hours per day just searching for the information they need. This app overload problem isn’t just annoying – it’s crippling productivity by as much as 24%. And putting a chatbot on top of this tangled mess doesn’t magically make it AI-powered. The reality is that bloated software stacks add complexity, cost, and risk.

For organizations wanting to leverage the benefits of GPU infrastructure, this complexity isn’t just a technical headache – it’s an existential threat to efficiency and competitiveness. The heart of the problem lies in operations. DevOps, SecOps, and ITOps teams have accumulated a sprawling inventory of niche tools over the last few years, often hundreds of them, each addressing a sliver of the workflow. Security teams, for example, juggle an average of 83 different security tools from 29 vendors. This kind of tool sprawl overwhelms staff with redundant alerts and integration headaches.

CISOs and CIOs acknowledge that having so many disparate systems makes it under-appreciated how much complexity and hidden gaps are introduced when trying to fully deploy and integrate all these tools. The costs of this overload are enormous: license fees, maintenance contracts, training, and the opportunity cost of teams context-switching between dozens of UIs. It’s no surprise that organizations are now looking to consolidate their tech stack. The status quo is untenable, especially as we enter an era of unprecedented scale in computing.

‍Why 80% of Enterprise Software Must Go (By 2027)

As bold as it sounds, forward-thinking infrastructure leaders are starting to realize that 80% of their software needs to be cut. Why 80%? Because only a drastic reduction can break the cycle of complexity and yield the quantum leap in efficiency that operations require. Incremental tweaks won’t cut it. Here’s why you should aim to eliminate the bulk of today’s tools:

Less Complexity

Fewer moving parts mean fewer integration failures and security holes. Simplifying the ops stack eliminates the glue work and fragile hand-offs that cause outages and blind spots. Teams can finally trust that one source of truth is watching the environment, instead of crossing fingers that 15 different tools are properly chained together.

Lower Costs

Consolidating tools isn’t just a tech decision – it’s a financial imperative. Why pay maintenance and licensing for five monitoring systems, four ticketing apps, and ten automation tools that mostly overlap? Cutting the bloat can save millions in OpEx and liberate budget for strategic investments. (In one study, companies that consolidated onto integrated platforms saw 4× ROI and lower overall spend.)

Faster Operations

With a leaner stack, ops teams move faster. Engineers aren’t wasting time between countless consoles or writing glue scripts to connect APIs. A streamlined toolset means decisions and actions happen in one place, accelerating everything from deployments to incident response. The result is agility – exactly what’s needed as the pace of business and AI innovation speeds up.

True AI Enablement

Most of today’s AI ops add-ons are band-aids – a chatbot here, an anomaly detector there – layered on legacy systems. By shedding the excess and focusing on an AI-native core, you set the stage for genuine autonomous operations. It’s not about adding one more tool; it’s about trusting AI as an integral feature of your operations, not a superficial bolt-on.

So what replaces that 80%? This is where Autonomous Ops comes in.

Autonomous Ops  – From Chatbots to True Automation

AIOps has become a buzzword, but let’s clarify: it’s not just about dashboards and alerts, it’s about AI-driven action. Gartner originally defined AIOps as applying AI/ML to automate IT processes like event correlation, anomaly detection and causality analysis. In plain terms, AIOps platforms ingest huge amounts of ops data (logs, metrics, tickets, events) and use AI/analytics to find patterns and issues that humans would miss. Traditional AIOps can detect and diagnose problems faster than manual methods – but the next evolution is to also resolve those problems autonomously.

Up until now, many AIOps solutions have been glorified recommendation engines or chatbots. They might tell you that a server is acting up, or even suggest a fix, but they won’t fix it for you. The new frontier is autonomous operations: AI agents that carry out the fix, securely and safely, in real time. Thanks to advances in large language models and agent frameworks, we can now build AI that doesn’t just analyze data, but interfaces with systems and takes action. Think of it as an autopilot for your infrastructure.

This is not the same as old-school automation or static runbook automation. We’re talking about AI that can understand high-level intent (“ensure my web service stays online and secure”) and dynamically figure out the specific steps to achieve it in the current context. Autonomous Ops means moving from deterministic scripts to adaptive, context-aware agents. For example, rather than writing a one-off script for every possible incident, you have an AI agent that can handle novel incidents by reasoning over your system’s data and its learned knowledge. This is a game-changer for ops teams: it reduces toil, reduces errors (AI doesn’t get tired at 3AM), and accelerates response times. 

Autonomous Ops is AIOps done right – not just insight, but action.

Kindo - The AI Automation Platform for Autonomous Ops

It’s one thing to talk about these concepts; it’s another to implement them at enterprise scale. This is where Kindo comes in. Kindo is a transformative platform built from the ground up for AI-native automation and agentic operations. 

Unlike legacy tools that are retrofitting an AI chatbot onto an old interface, Kindo was designed AI-first – it is not a chatbot or a narrow SOAR script-runner, but a secure, intelligent layer that plugs directly into your infrastructure and acts on your behalf. 

Think of Kindo as the AI layer for today’s enterprise operations: it perceives, decides, and acts within your environment to keep things running optimally.

What makes Kindo different?

First, it’s agentic by design – Kindo’s smart agents autonomously make decisions and take actions in real time (not just execute pre-defined scripts). In practice, this means when an incident or task arises, Kindo can interpret what needs to be done and do it, turning high-level intent into concrete changes on systems. Secondly, it’s enterprise-grade and secure. Every action is auditable and explainable, with built-in guardrails like role-based access control, data loss prevention, and approval workflows when needed. You get the power of automation without losing oversight – trust every action, every time.

Most importantly for GPU-scale operators, Kindo integrates directly with the tools and layers that matter – it’s not asking you to rip out everything overnight. Kindo connects to your Kubernetes clusters, cloud APIs, CI/CD pipelines, ITSM systems, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, even HPC job schedulers like Slurm. It fits into your workflows without disruption. By bridging these systems, Kindo can orchestrate end-to-end operations that used to require juggling multiple interfaces.

For example, if a security alert comes in (via your SIEM), Kindo could cross-reference it with recent code changes (from Git), isolate the affected Kubernetes pods, and even schedule a GPU-intensive analysis job via Slurm to validate the fix – all automatically. And it would document every step for compliance. This kind of holistic, cross-domain action is something no simple chatbot or single-purpose tool can do.

Kindo’s approach is AI-native.

It comes with an operational intelligence model (codenamed WhiteRabbitNeo) that’s trained to understand infrastructure, security, and incidents in natural language. This means your team can literally tell Kindo what outcome they want (“ensure my GPU cluster stays within safe thermal limits” or “quickly patch any Log4j-type vulnerabilities”) and Kindo’s agents will figure out the how. Under the hood, it’s executing API calls and scripts, but from your perspective it’s like commanding an expert colleague. No-code, no manual stitching – Kindo handles the logic.

This agent-based automation promises to cut alert noise, resolve incidents autonomously, and enforce standards continuously. In other words, it lets your small team run a huge infrastructure as if you had an army of tireless, expert engineers at hand.

The bottom line is that Kindo is built for hyperscale ops in the AI era – to be the central nervous system that intelligently automates SecOps, DevOps, and ITOps for companies that simply cannot afford inefficiency. It’s the antidote to the 300-app pile-up. Rather than yet another tool, it’s a unifying platform that can replace dozens of them. It delivers the autonomous operations we’ve been discussing – safely, at scale, and in real production environments. If cutting 80% of your ops stack sounds impossible, Kindo is how you make it possible.
