Virtana announced AI Factory Observability for Nutanix Agentic AI environments, extending system-aware observability across Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure and Nutanix Enterprise AI.
Virtana is expanding AI Factory Observability from Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure into Nutanix Enterprise AI, extending visibility and control from the infrastructure layer into AI platforms and model-driven workloads. This integration provides infrastructure and platform teams with a shared operational foundation for managing Nutanix Agentic AI environments in production.
“As enterprises adopt the Nutanix Agentic AI platform to build and run intelligent, distributed AI systems, understanding how those workloads behave across infrastructure and services becomes critical,” said Luke Congdon, VP of Product Management at Nutanix. “Virtana’s extension of observability into Nutanix Enterprise AI helps provide that visibility, enabling organizations to operate AI factories with greater performance, efficiency, and control.”
“Enterprises have proven they can stand up AI infrastructure,” said Paul Appleby, CEO of Virtana. “The challenge now is operating agentic AI environments where systems reason, adapt, and act across distributed resources. These are dynamic systems that demand full-stack visibility and control to optimize GPU utilization, manage cost efficiency, and support thousands of concurrent agents with the performance and governance required for production at scale.”
Nutanix Agentic AI establishes a broader platform for building and operating AI factories. Within that architecture, Nutanix Enterprise AI is the layer where models, agent services, and enterprise AI workflows are deployed, connected, and scaled. As these environments move into production, understanding how AI services behave across the full stack becomes the defining operational challenge, spanning inference performance, GPU consumption, infrastructure contention, and system reliability.
“AI workloads are no longer static. They are increasingly agentic, continuously adapting how they consume infrastructure,” said Amitkumar Rathi, Chief Product Officer at Virtana. “By extending AI Factory Observability into Nutanix Enterprise AI, we give organizations end-to-end visibility and control across the layer where AI services are built and operated, while connecting that activity back to the infrastructure supporting it. Platform teams can manage performance, reliability, and cost with greater precision, and data teams gain the operational context required to run AI in production with confidence.”
Virtana AI Factory Observability spans Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure into Nutanix Enterprise AI in a single operational view, giving infrastructure and platform teams the visibility they need to understand and manage the full environment powering agentic AI. Teams can correlate AI workload behavior with the underlying compute, GPU, storage, and orchestration resources required to run it, connecting signal across every layer into a coherent picture of system performance.
Virtana addresses this new operational requirement by delivering:
- Real-time GPU telemetry, including utilization, memory, power draw, temperature, and health across distributed clusters
- Detection of idle and underutilized GPUs to reduce waste and cost and improve AI infrastructure efficiency
- Workload-to-GPU correlation across training, inference, and agent-driven workflows, connecting AI service behavior to infrastructure usage and cost
- Token-level visibility into throughput, latency, and resource demand so teams can better understand cost and performance under concurrency
- Early identification of thermal, power, and reliability risks before they affect production AI services
- Performance analysis for multi-node, multi-GPU environments supporting dynamic agentic workloads
- A unified operational view across Nutanix AHV, Nutanix Enterprise AI, Kubernetes orchestration, NVIDIA GPU clusters, and distributed AI workflows, enabling end-to-end observability across the AI factory

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
