A new wave of innovative features from Virtana brings better decisions, faster responses, and deeper visibility across your hybrid infrastructure.
Hybrid and cloud-native infrastructure isn’t getting simpler. It’s getting more fragmented, more interdependent, and more business-critical with every release. That’s why the latest enhancements to the Virtana Platform are designed to give you what today’s IT demands: deeper context and smarter action.
In this release, Virtana is rolling out powerful new capabilities across our core product categories: Virtana Global View, Container Observability, and Infrastructure Observability. These advancements are focused on helping you reduce risk, eliminate waste, and operate with clarity.
Let’s explore what’s new, what it means for your team, and how these updates fit into your broader hybrid observability strategy.
Global View: Unified Visibility at Scale
Modern infrastructure doesn’t sit neatly in one place. You have virtual machines running on-prem, containerized services in the cloud, and interconnected storage and compute resources that span environments. Global View was built to simplify the chaos. With these new features, it just got smarter.
Resource Grouping Across Hybrid Environments
Now, you can create custom resource groups that span cloud, on-prem, and Kubernetes environments. Whether you’re tracking VMs, databases, containers, or storage systems, you can group and manage them based on meaningful business properties like location, services, applications, tags, or lifecycle status.
How this helps you:
IT teams can now visualize, filter, and analyze resources based on how they function together, not just where they live. This brings order to hybrid complexity and makes it easier to troubleshoot issues impacting production applications that span hybrid cloud environments.
Business outcome:
Faster root cause analysis and smarter planning. Whether you’re prepping for a migration, auditing systems, or trying to deploy new applications, this feature helps your team take action based on the full context of the infrastructure.
End-to-End Topology Across Hybrid Infrastructure
See the entire journey of your workloads and dependencies in one place: no more managing in silos. The updated Topology page lets you filter by resource group, view dependencies across compute, network, and storage, and even visually spot unused or orphaned resources.
How this helps you:
Traditional monitoring tools stop at the edge of their domain. This feature connects the dots across your environment, cloud, and on-premises alike.
Business outcome:
Avoid outages caused by unseen dependencies. Improve collaboration between teams by giving everyone the same view of what’s running, where, and why.
Storage and Compute Dashboard Enhancements
Virtana’s Storage and Compute Dashboards now support filtering by custom properties and better trend analysis over the past 12 months. It’s also easier to track capacity thresholds and identify heavy users of infrastructure resources.
How this helps you:
These enhancements help teams identify under or overused resources, plan decommissions, and avoid capacity surprises.
Business outcome:
Reduced resource waste and better cost control. Teams can drive conversations with procurement and architecture based on long-term data, not a gut feel.

Container Observability: More Signals. Less Guesswork.
Containers move fast. So should your ability to observe what’s happening inside them, especially when they’re powering core parts of your infrastructure. This release brings two high-impact updates that add depth and actionability to cloud-native monitoring.
Windows DHCP & DNS Metrics
Many hybrid environments rely heavily on Windows infrastructure, yet most observability tools overlook key metrics like DHCP and DNS behavior. Virtana now supports detailed telemetry from these services, so you can monitor requests, failures, queue sizes, service uptime, and more.
How this helps you:
DHCP and DNS are foundational to app performance and network health. If they fail, users feel it. This visibility helps you spot subtle issues before they escalate.
Business outcome:
Better reliability and fewer support escalations. Network and infrastructure teams get the metrics they need to reduce troubleshooting time and improve service performance.
Alert Ingestion from Splunk Logs
Now, Virtana can ingest and correlate alerts from Splunk logs directly into its observability platform. This lets you catch application-layer issues that infrastructure monitoring might miss, like failed login attempts, API timeouts, or transaction errors.
How this helps you:
Log data carries important context that often goes uncorrelated. Customers can already ingest Splunk logs in Virtana Container Observability. Bringing Splunk alerts into Virtana lets you identify application issues that may not be affecting your infrastructure directly.
Business outcome:
More intelligent incident response. By correlating application alerts with infrastructure signals, teams can identify the true source of problems and respond faster with fewer false positives.

Infrastructure Observability: Precision Where It Counts
The complexity of enterprises demands depth, especially in regulated or high-performance environments. These updates expand Virtana’s ability to observe, report, and act on key infrastructure systems.
Hitachi Universal Compute Platform Integration
Virtana now supports integration with Hitachi UCP, including both chassis-based systems and Edge 180 configurations (available via beta). This includes hardware and system environmental metrics, power state monitoring, and more.
How this helps you:
You can’t optimize what you can’t see. Supporting UCP means organizations running mission-critical workloads on Hitachi now have direct insight into system health and resource behavior.
Business outcome:
Improved uptime and tighter resource planning. This gives infrastructure teams the confidence to operate, upgrade, or reallocate resources in high-stakes environments.
Expanded Metric Support Across Platforms
Updates across Windows, Pure Storage, and Brocade integrations include additional properties, metrics, and diagnostic attributes. These new metrics reflect changes in technology and in how organizations use Virtana Platform to gain control of their multi-vendor environments.
How this helps you:
You need the same level of detail from a Brocade FC Switch or Pure array as you do from a VM. These updates give you that depth.
Business outcome:
Improved auditability and smarter cross-platform insights. Whether for chargeback, performance tuning, or compliance, having the right metrics makes all the difference.
Automated CSV Inventory Exports
A new report automation feature lets users schedule CSV exports of inventory table reports for delivery via email. This is especially useful for teams delivering usage data to finance, compliance, or audit departments.
How this helps you:
Manual data pulls waste time. This automation allows teams to distribute standardized reports on a schedule without introducing human error or delay.
Business outcome:
Saves time, improves consistency, and streamlines compliance workflows, knowledge sharing, and insights within shared infrastructure environments.

One Platform. Deeper Context. Smarter Action.
Every feature in this release was shaped by a clear need: better decision-making in complex hybrid environments. Whether you’re monitoring containers, managing infrastructure, or trying to piece together dependencies across a sprawling topology, Virtana gives you the tools to see more and do more.
These updates are more than technical enhancements. They’re business enablers designed to reduce risk, improve reliability, and make your team faster and more effective.
