Infrastructure Intelligence from the Inside
Two decades inside the problem. Everything we learned about detection, remediation, and keeping infrastructure ahead of failure.
Why Asama Is Different: Infrastructure State and the Detect, Investigate, Remediate Loop
What it takes to run the detect, investigate, remediate loop on a large fleet, why stale and stitched data breaks it, and why Asama is built on infrastructure state.
Asama vs LogicMonitor + Edwin AI: A component-by-component comparison
LogicMonitor + Edwin AI compared with Asama AI & scored on Infrastructure State, Detection and Remediation Capability.
Why L3 Stalls
L3 is where every infrastructure platform has landed, and none has left. The gap to L4 is not reasoning. It is whether anything underneath knows how your fleet is wired together.
The Four Levels of Detection Maturity
At every level the work is the same. What changes is how much of it the platform does, and how much is left to your engineers.
The Automation Boundary
Every remediation system answers a question it rarely states out loud: who is allowed to act, and under what conditions.
Solution Landscape (5/5): Infrastructure that gets better with age
The default trajectory of infrastructure is entropy. It doesn't have to be.

Asama AI's SOC 2 journey: building trust into the architecture
How Asama AI prepared for a SOC 2 Type I audit in five weeks, how the Trust Services Criteria shaped its design, and what a CISO checks before an AI agent acts.
Unpopular opinion: build the foundation first, not what customers ask for
Most fleets run servers from two or more vendors, and each vendor's tools stop at its own hardware. Why we started with one model of every server, before any feature.
How we named Asama: Sanskrit for "without an equal"
Asama (असम) is Sanskrit for "that which does not have an equal". Why we chose it over Orca and Raven, and what it says about the product we build.
The heterogeneous fleet problem nobody admits: what Redfish doesn't normalise (Problem Specifics 4/5)
Why Redfish gives Dell, HPE and other BMCs a common API but not common BIOS settings or event messages, and what a normalisation layer has to do across vendors.
Bring-up is where schedules go to die: what new servers need before production (Problem Specifics 3/5)
Bring-up is the work between racked and first workload accepted. What a slip costs while purchased capacity waits, and a five-step gate for every new server.
The correctable error trap: when PCIe correctable errors start to matter (Problem Specifics 2/5)
Why a climbing PCIe correctable error rate can signal a failing link, how to read AER counters in sysfs, and why peer comparison beats a fixed replay threshold.

What SMART data isn't telling you: which attributes predict drive failure (Problem Specifics 1/5)
Why a drive's SMART status can say PASSED right up to failure, which attributes predict it (5, 187, 188, 197 and 198), and how to trend them against peers.
GPU health checks on AMD: amd-smi telemetry and RAS, plus RDC and RVS diagnostics (Part 2)
How amd-smi reads health, telemetry and RAS errors from AMD Instinct GPUs, which commands to run, and where RDC and RVS take DCGM's role for diagnostics.
