Market-Leading Hybrid Cloud Management Provider Recognized for Growth and Innovation Brought to 150+ Fortune 2000 Customers
PALO ALTO, California—Aug 23, 2022 —Virtana, a leading provider of AI-driven monitoring solutions for hybrid cloud management, has been listed in Silicon Review’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies of 2022. The global award recognizes organizations for their commitment to innovation and people-focused culture.
Virtana was founded in 2008 with the mission to deliver the highest quality infrastructure performance monitoring and high-definition precision data analytics to users. Since then, the company has evolved to bring industry leading hybrid cloud management and monitoring solutions to Fortune 2000 companies, including Geico, Costco, Nasdaq, Dell EMC and more.
Earlier this year, Virtana raised $73 million to accelerate its growth and position in the hybrid cloud management market. To continue its commitment to innovation and meeting the needs of customers, Virtana appointed Kash Shaikh as CEO in 2020. Kash is known for building high performing teams and since stepping in as CEO has rebuilt Virtana’s entire executive leadership team including Christina Richards as CMO, Steve Hershkowitz as CRO, Kamelia Gochev as SVP Customer Success, Kimberly Perryman as VP of People Operations, Marion Smith as CFO, Jon Cyr as VP of Product Management and most recently Amit Rathi as VP of Engineering, among others.
Kash led the deployment of Virtana Platform at the end of 2020 — a unified SaaS platform for migrating, optimizing and managing application workloads across public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments using artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps). The platform enables enterprises to make data-driven migration and optimization decisions. Through the use of Virtana Platform, companies ‘know before they go’ in order to move the right workload to the right cloud, limiting wasted spend or reduced performance. For companies already in the cloud, the platform right-sizes cloud workloads for ongoing performance, capacity, and cost optimization.
Virtana’s success and innovation would not be possible without the support of customers and partners, including Grange Insurance, SSI, Capgemini, Perfect Image and managed service providers (MSP) like CloudEQ.
The company continues to be recognized throughout the industry for its advancement in hybrid cloud software management, culture and executive leadership. Virtana was awarded Best CEO for Women by Comparably, Best CEO for Diversity by Comparably, Stevie’s for IT Executive of the Year and Company of the Year, named a top 100 Cloud Company by CRN, and was awarded Digital Innovator by Intellyx.
“We’re incredibly proud of the path to growth we’re paving at Virtana, and it’s an honor to be recognized for our commitment to innovation and dedication to our employees and customers,” said Christina Richards, CMO of Virtana. “Being named a 50 Fast Growing Company motivates us to remain competitive, innovative, and maintain our market-leading position.”
Virtana was recently named in Gartner’s Market Guide for Cloud Management Tooling, Forrester’s Now Tech Q2 Report and CRN’s Partner Program Guide
