Virtana Unveils Virtana Platform, Delivering Deepest Hybrid Infrastructure Observability

AI-Powered Platform Unifies Visibility Across On-Premises, Cloud, and Kubernetes Environments

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtana, the leader in deep hybrid infrastructure observability, today announced the general availability of Virtana Platform, a transformative technology that provides enterprises with comprehensive, real-time visibility and intelligent automation across their entire hybrid IT estates. This AI-based platform enables the deepest observability in traditional IT environments, hybrid estates, and advanced AI data centers.

Across all industries, enterprises face mounting pressure to ensure the seamless availability and performance of mission-critical services while fortifying the resilience of their infrastructure. At the same time, they must balance these demands with the constant pursuit of operational efficiency and cost reduction. The rapid expansion in AI infrastructure, open-source, and cloud-native technologies has further amplified this challenge, introducing new layers of complexity in achieving unified observability across both on-premises and cloud environments. Navigating this intricate landscape requires more than traditional monitoring—it demands a bold, innovative approach to gain complete visibility and control.

To directly address these challenges, Virtana Platform consolidates data from Virtana's proprietary collectors, OTEL collectors, and other disparate monitoring tools into a centralized, AI-powered dashboard called Virtana Global View. By aggregating alerts, correlating events, and automating root cause analysis and incident resolution, Virtana Platform empowers IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than firefighting operational issues. Virtana Platform is vendor-agnostic and can be deployed in both on-premises and cloud environments, giving organizations ultimate flexibility to manage their infrastructure in a way that aligns with their business practices.

"We understand the challenges our customers face in managing increasingly complex hybrid IT environments," said Paul Appleby, CEO of Virtana. "We built Virtana Platform with artificial intelligence at its core and designed it to help our customers overcome these challenges with the deepest possible observability, intelligent automation, and actionable insights. By empowering our customers with these cutting-edge capabilities and AI-powered insights, we're enabling them to improve performance, reduce costs, and accelerate their digital transformation initiatives. And we continue to push the envelope on what's possible with deep observability. We've heard the call from our customers for deeper insights into the intricacies of their AI infrastructure and models, and we're ready to answer that call. Stay tuned for additional exciting news."
