SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2021 — BigPanda, Inc., the leader in Event Correlation and Automation powered by AIOps, today announced its plans for Pandapalooza ‘21, its annual customer festival. This year’s event will take place online on Nov. 2 and 3, with engaging content presented in the style of the early days of MTV in the wake of the network’s 40th anniversary.

“Just as MTV changed how people visualized music forty years ago, BigPanda is at the center of an IT Operations movement to use AI-powered insights and automation to transform how digital services are delivered,” said Jason Walker, chief customer officer at BigPanda. “Our customers are adopting cloud and hybrid IT environments at an unprecedented pace, and trust BigPanda to help their IT Operations teams manage the scale and complexity of IT data in order to delight their users and keep their business running. We are thrilled to bring them together in a festival-like forum and talk about what comes next…for them and us!”
