Real-time visibility. Practical insights. Infrastructure that works as hard as you do.
If you missed our recent webinar, Optimize Every Layer, you missed an unfiltered look into some of the most advanced capabilities of the Virtana Platform. We covered new enhancements across global visibility, infrastructure, and containerized workloads, all built to meet the demands of today’s hybrid IT environments.
For those who want to skip the marketing and get to what actually works, this blog is for you.
Why We Built Global View the Way We Did
Hybrid infrastructure is messy. Cloud sprawl, on-prem constraints, and third-party tools are a lot to keep up with. That’s why Global View was built: to cut through the noise and surface what matters.
In the webinar, we showed how teams are using Global View to:
- Identify cost and capacity across environments
- Surface underutilized or oversaturated resources
- Filter by vendor, asset type, or usage spikes
- Make decisions without guesswork
Rather than jumping across tools or spinning up scripts, this view is unified and ready to use. You can even drill into historical usage trends, optimize workloads, and remove idle systems from the stack entirely.

Virtana Copilot is GenAI based agent, which can Query alerts and create governance policies using natural language. It improves efficiency, as data is available on-demand without knowing any query language and policies help in removing alert fatigue.
Infrastructure Observability: Expanded and Hardened
Virtana’s roots are in infrastructure. We know how critical it is to get it right. And our recent updates take this even further:
- New Nutanix AHV Support: We added full observability for Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor, helping teams manage newer virtualized environments with the same clarity they’re used to with VMware.
- Hitachi NAS and Object Storage Enhancements: Now supporting full end-to-end topology mapping, performance metrics, and troubleshooting data for Hitachi’s HNAS and HCP platforms.
- Expanded iSCSI Visibility Across Vendors: Gain deeper insights, including topology mapping and performance analytics, for iSCSI environments across multiple integrations, including NetApp and Pure arrays.
- Collaboration Integrations: Alerts and case data can now be pushed into MS Teams, Slack, Webex, or custom webhooks—so issues get in front of the right people faster.
- Container-Based Deployment: Infrastructure Observability can now run containerized for greater flexibility, resource allocation, and scale-out deployment.
- Cisco Intersight + UCS X Support: Seamless transition support from UCS Manager to Intersight, including full visibility into the newer UCS X hyperconverged platform.
- Grafana Integration: If you’re building custom dashboards, our expanded APIs and support for the Infinity plugin make it easier to stream Virtana data directly into Grafana.

Container Observability: More Coverage. Smarter Context.
Containers are everywhere. But insight into them? Not so much. Our updates in Container Observability focus on practical visibility into real-world workloads.
Here’s what’s new:
- Kubernetes Resource Explorer: See request and limit usage across all clusters. Find underutilized pods, misconfigured workloads, and capacity waste at a glance.
- Splunk Log Integration: If you’re using Splunk for log management, you can now integrate Splunk with Virtana Container Observability to view relevant logs from Virtana alerts. No need to duplicate alerts or manually recreate queries.
- Windows OS Support: Observability isn’t just for Linux. We’ve extended our support to Windows-based workloads, with full visibility into OS processes, performance, and logs.
▶️ Container Observability: Windows Server Observability
▶️ Container Observability: Splunk as a Log Source
▶️ Container Observability: Kubernetes Resource Explorer
Less Searching. More Solving.
One of the standout questions from the webinar came from a user dealing with a multi-layer app issue. They needed to correlate performance problems across the app, OS, network, and storage layers.
Virtana was built for that.
Our platform doesn’t just ingest metrics—it connects the dots. From host to container to array, you get a clear map of what’s talking to what, where it’s breaking down, and what to do next.
What’s Next?
If you’re already working with Virtana, reach out to your customer success manager to explore how to activate these features. If you’re evaluating new observability solutions, start with the replay. We won’t pitch you buzzwords. Just clear demos, direct answers, and tech that works.
