Palo Alto Networks just dropped a $3.35B acquisition bomb on Chronosphere—a next-gen observability platform built for the AI era. Here's the play: Chronosphere's handling massive data demands from AI workloads with real-time monitoring at scale, something traditional tools struggle with. The numbers? ARR hit $160M+ by Sept 2025, tripling year-over-year. Palo Alto's CEO Nikesh Arora says the real flex is combining this with their AgentiX tech—turning passive dashboards into autonomous remediation systems. So instead of humans staring at alerts, the AI agents auto-fix issues. It's not just an acquisition, it's a power move in the AI infrastructure arms race. Deal closes H2 FY2026 pending regulatory sign-off.
