Virtana is partnering with NVIDIA to advance observability for enterprise AI Factories.
The integration brings together Virtana’s observability platform and NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing technologies to help IT teams manage complex, distributed AI environments more efficiently and reliably.
Virtana, an NVIDIA Connect program member, offers unified observability across on-premises, cloud, and containerized environments, supporting deeper observability for NVIDIA GPU-accelerated infrastructure to deliver faster insights, automation, and performance optimization.
“To accelerate Virtana’s mission to deliver AI Factory Observability, powered by AI, at industrial scale, our collaboration with NVIDIA is critical,” said Paul Appleby, CEO and President of Virtana. “By combining Virtana’s deep expertise in hybrid cloud performance with NVIDIA’s market-leading computing and AI capabilities, we’re empowering enterprises to improve application performance, accelerate root cause analysis, and reduce infrastructure costs. Our collaboration gives IT teams the intelligence they need to support AI-native workloads with confidence and efficiency.”
The collaboration is focused on delivering intelligent, real-time insights that support faster decision-making, resource efficiency, and improved application performance. With deeper observability into NVIDIA GPU-powered environments, enterprise IT teams can reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR), align infrastructure with business performance and cost goals, and gain readiness for AI-native application deployments.
Key capabilities of the Virtana Platform include:
- Automated Topology Discovery: Leveraging machine learning, the platform can more rapidly map interdependencies between AI applications, GPUs, storage, and network components—enabling real-time visibility into system behavior and potential bottlenecks.
- AI-Based Root Cause Analysis: Virtana will use NVIDIA AI Enterprise to improve the speed and precision of root-cause identification, analyzing large datasets in seconds to minimize downtime and service impact.
- Predictive Performance Management: With predictive analytics powered by historical and real-time data, IT teams can address issues before they impact critical operations or user experience.
- Cost and Capacity Optimization: AI-driven insights support better forecasting, helping teams align resource usage with business needs while controlling costs for GPUs.
- Natural Language Query via Virtana Copilot: Virtana’s generative AI assistant, Copilot, allows users to query infrastructure data using natural language, making insights more accessible to non-technical users.
- Enhancing Observability for NVIDIA NIM with OpenTelemetry and Virtana: Virtana brings robust observability to NVIDIA NIM by leveraging OpenTelemetry standards. Our platform delivers deep visibility into application performance, health, and availability—empowering teams to monitor, trace, and optimize AI workloads running on NIM through OpenTelemetry.
- Enabling AI Infrastructure Observability: Virtana’s observability platform will provide visibility into the performance and behavior of AI workloads running on these systems, helping customers:
Detect performance anomalies in real time.
Assess the infrastructure impact of AI workloads.
Plan for resource requirements in future AI deployments.
Avoid downtime through proactive monitoring.
These capabilities are designed to support AI deployments in enterprise data centers, public clouds, and AI factories.
Virtana and NVIDIA continue to explore other opportunities to partner on enhanced observability solutions for AI workloads. Areas of future development include:
- Support for additional NVIDIA platforms, such as NVIDIA DGX systems.
- Integration with NIM (NVIDIA Inference Microservices) for performance optimization and efficient token cost management.
- Co-development of observability practices tailored for AI-driven enterprises.
This long-term collaboration aims to empower customers with the tools and intelligence needed to optimize infrastructure for modern workloads.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
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 ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
