About Ennetix

Ennetix operates in the IT operations management (ITOM) market, providing a solution for enterprises and managed service providers grappling with complex digital infrastructures. The company, initially known as Putah Green Systems, was founded in 2011 by Professor Dr. Biswanath Mukherjee and Dr. Pulak Chowdhury, both with backgrounds in computer science and networking from the University of California, Davis. Dr. Mukherjee's extensive 35-year career includes pioneering contributions to network security and performance technologies, such as the first Network Intrusion Detection System (1990) and concepts that influenced today's 5G Fronthaul.

The firm's core offering is the xVisor platform, an AIOps (AI for IT Operations) solution designed to offer a comprehensive view of an organization's IT environment. It targets the significant costs and productivity losses associated with system outages and security breaches, many of which originate from network issues. The business model appears to be primarily SaaS, with a subscription fee mentioned for its earlier product iteration, xNET. Ennetix has secured funding through multiple rounds, including Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and a $1.7M seed round in May 2022.

xVisor addresses the challenge of managing hybrid cloud environments where applications and network services are dynamically allocated. The platform provides a unified view, combining an "inside-out" look at internal systems with an "outside-in" perspective on user experience and external dependencies. It uses AI and machine learning to analyze data from all devices in an application's delivery path, allowing it to map dependencies between applications and network functions. Key features include real-time anomaly detection, predictive analytics to prevent issues, and automated remediation. For example, the system can pinpoint the exact location of a performance bottleneck, whether on-premise or in the cloud, and provides detailed information to accelerate troubleshooting. xVisor integrates with existing IT management tools like ServiceNow and automation platforms like Ansible to streamline the process from diagnosis to resolution.
