Virtana’s AI-powered platform is at the forefront of IT infrastructure management, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and services that empower IT leaders to make informed decisions on how to forecast demand and streamline operations. The rapid evolution of technology has ushered in an era of complexity and dynamism that IT leaders must navigate effectively. Virtana enables organizations to manage this complex IT landscape easily, with a full-stack observability platform that leverages the capabilities of predictive and generative AI to provide deep insights into various critical aspects of IT operations.
Virtana has been recognized in the below Gartner® reports:
We believe being recognized in Gartner reports is a testament to our leadership in the industry. This is the first time Virtana has been recognized in so many different areas of IT infrastructure management, including six Gartner Hype Cycle2 reports, a Gartner Cool Vendor3 report, and a Market Guide. Here is a brief overview of each of the publications where Gartner recognized Virtana:
Cool Vendors™ in Monitoring and Observability:
OpsCruise (now a part of Virtana) was named a Cool Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Cool Vendors™ in Monitoring and Observability. One reason for the inclusion is because OpsCruise gives IT operations and SRE teams invaluable visibility into Kubernetes and serverless environments by harnessing open telemetry standards and agentless data collection. Adaptive machine learning detects changes in workload behavior and characterizes normal performance patterns. When anomalies occur, OpsCruise prescribes targeted resolution actions to efficiently troubleshoot and restore service. This combination of profiling, intelligent analysis, and actionable recommendations allows even small teams to effectively manage massive scale and complexity. Virtana acquired OpsCruise in May of 2023, and Gartner mentioned Virtana and OpsCruise together in this year’s report, linked here:

Market Guide for Infrastructure Monitoring Tools:
According to the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for Infrastructure Monitoring Tools “Infrastructure monitoring tools capture data that identify outages, improve speed of diagnosis and aid troubleshooting of on-premises and cloud-based IT systems.” From our perspective, we see that I&O leaders get the most out of their monitoring and observability platforms when those platforms provide flexible configurations, are adaptable to various enterprise environments, and provide robust infrastructure forecasting and capacity planning capabilities.
Virtana was named a Representative Vendor for Infrastructure Monitoring Tools in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for Infrastructure Monitoring Tools. Find a link to the report here:

Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies
This Hype Cycle4 references Digital Platform Conductor Tools in this report because they enable IT leaders to visualize “digital platform performance across all life cycle stages — planning, implementing, operating and monitoring.” Gartner recognized Virtana as a Sample Vendor for Digital Platform Conductor Tools in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies, 2023.
“By 2027, 75% of organizations will respond to stakeholder pressures by implementing a data center infrastructure sustainability program driven by cost optimization, which is a major increase from less than 5% in 2022.” Find a link to the report here:

Hype Cycle for I&O Automation
Advancements in AI are accelerating the development of automation tools that can handle enterprise workloads. According to Gartner, “By 2025, 70% of organizations will implement structured infrastructure automation to deliver flexibility and efficiency, which is a significant increase from 20% in 2021.” This shift in the market has led to the emergence of a new industry term some are calling Digital Platform Conductor Tools, which focuses on hybrid digital infrastructure management (HDIM). Gartner recognized Virtana as a Sample Vendor for Digital Platform Conductor Tools in the Gartner Hype Cycle for I&O Automation,2023. Here’s the link to the report:
Gartner, Hype Cycle for I&O Automation, 14 July, 2023 (For Gartner subscribers only)
Hype Cycle for Monitoring and Observability
The tools and resources organizations use to build their infrastructure platform, and application environments introduce greater complexity, increasing the focus from IT leaders on intuitive and comprehensive observability. According to Gartner “Observability is becoming central to how modern businesses understand customer and employee experience. New technologies are emerging to deal with the complexity presented by operational telemetry.” Virtana recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Monitoring and Observability, 2023 as a Sample Vendor for Digital Platform Conductor Tools. We believe Virtana’s Infrastructure Monitoring and Application Monitoring provide organizations with the visibility necessary to manage their IT environments. Find the link to the report here:
Gartner, Hype Cycle for Monitoring and Observability, 10 July, 2023 (For Gartner subscribers only)
Hype Cycle for I&O Digital Workplace Transformation
Gartner says, “As work continues to evolve toward greater efficiency and dependence on technology, the intersection of labor constraints and emerging generative and autonomous technologies is transforming resourcing strategies.” This Hype Cycle explores how organizations see Digital Employee Experience (DEX) tools as platforms to improve DEX capabilities that align with their workplace leaders’ expectations. Virtana recognized as a Sample Vendor for Digital Platform Conductor Tools in the Hype Cycle for I&O Digital Workplace Transformation, 2023. You can find the link to the report here:

Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Platforms
According to Gartner “Infrastructure platforms support the combining of agility and speed with the safety and soundness needed for enabling digital business strategies,” says Gartner in this Hype Cycle. Gartner went on to say that “more than 75% of global enterprises will have formal infrastructure platform organizations, up from less than 20% in 2023.” These organizations are looking for platforms that provide a unified view of their global estates, from bare metal to the application layer to the Kubernetes cluster. Virtana was named as a Sample Vendor for Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Platforms in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Platforms, 2023. Here’s the link to the report:
Gartner, Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Platforms, 12 July, 2023 (for Gartner subscribers only)
Hype Cycle for ITSM
Gartner states that “Traditional approaches to IT service management aren’t suited to modern hybrid cloud environments and faster service delivery times.” We believe a key reason for this is these traditional approaches do not factor in the increasing complexity of hybrid infrastructure environments. “I&O leaders must understand the hype around new technologies, such as generative AI and process automation, and how they affect ITSM strategies and business value,” Gartner concluded. Virtana’s full-stack observability platform uses RCA and generative AI to accelerate business outcomes and increase performance. Gartner mentions Virtana as a Sample Vendor for Digital Platform Conductor Tools in the Gartner Cycle for ITSM, 2023.
