IT operations management company Virtana has acquired cloud observability platform OpsCruise, aiming to enhance hybrid, multi-vendor, and multi-cloud infrastructure with artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps). This acquisition will expand Virtana’s hybrid infrastructure solutions, incorporating OpsCruise’s innovative cloud observability capabilities and providing significant benefits to customers.
Virtana Expands Hybrid Infrastructure Solutions
By acquiring OpsCruise, Virtana continues to deliver on its vision of simplified and unified hybrid infrastructure observability for on-prem, cloud, and edge multi-vendor environments. The expansion includes support for cloud-native, open-source, containers, and serverless functions. OpsCruise’s unique contextual AI and ML-based behavior profiling will empower ITOps, DevOps, and SRE teams to predict performance degradation and pinpoint its cause.
OpsCruise’s Innovative Cloud Observability
OpsCruise, a Gartner Cool Vendor in Observability, leverages machine learning profiling to rapidly identify performance issues in Kubernetes and serverless environments. Its solution is tightly integrated with leading open-source monitoring tools and cloud providers for metrics, logs, traces, flows, and configuration data. This allows customers to be free from proprietary alternatives and solve challenges such as slowdowns, misconfigurations, and resource saturation across Kubernetes, cloud services, and infrastructure.
Benefits of the Acquisition for Customers
This strategic acquisition will help accelerate Virtana customers’ ability to reduce costs with open-source-based data collection and to predict and pinpoint problems. It will also enhance extensibility with improved support for a broad range of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings. Companies such as Avis Car Rental, Telefonica, Tesla, and United Airlines already use OpsCruise to manage their modern environments efficiently.
In summary, Virtana’s acquisition of OpsCruise is a significant step forward in expanding its hybrid infrastructure solutions and enhancing cloud observability for businesses. Customers can expect streamlined support in their Kubernetes and serverless environments, ultimately reducing costs and better managing their complex infrastructures.
