Virtana announced the latest version of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, bringing full-stack enterprise visibility directly to AI agents and LLMs so machines can understand enterprise operations as complete systems rather than isolated signals.
Opening the Virtana platform to a broad ecosystem of AI agents, automation systems, and large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, enables AI to execute full-stack decisions across end-to-end enterprise environments, advancing observability from fragmented monitoring into autonomous, self-managing environments.
With the Virtana MCP Server, an AI copilot uses natural-language queries to analyze a system dependency graph, allowing the LLM to understand the application as a connected system rather than isolated code or signals, revealing fine-grained relationships and operational context across the stack.

Built on Virtana's patented full-stack optimization architecture, the platform powers a system dependency graph, a dynamic map that builds a structured understanding of how applications, services, infrastructure, and AI workloads interact across the enterprise.
"The shift to AI-driven operations fundamentally changes what observability must deliver. It is no longer enough to surface signals; platforms must provide a structured understanding of the system itself," said Amitkumar Rathi, Chief Product Officer at Virtana. "Virtana builds a unified dependency graph that derives operational context across hybrid environments, and the MCP Server exposes that model as a standard interface for AI agents and LLMs. This enables a new operational paradigm where AI systems can analyze, prioritize, and act across the full stack based on real system relationships rather than isolated alerts."
Virtana normalizes operational telemetry into a unified system dependency graph. This dependency-aware representation of distributed applications is surfaced through MCP, enabling AI agents powered by leading large language models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, to interact directly with structured operational context.
Rather than layering conversational interfaces onto legacy monitoring stacks, Virtana treats natural language as an expression of intent. Virtana's MCP Server translates that intent into structured interactions with the dependency graph, allowing AI agents to retrieve grounded data, analyze relationships, and reason across the full system.
The Virtana MCP Server enables AI agents to:
- Query Full-Stack Context in Natural Language: AI agents and leading LLMs, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or any compatible model, can ask "which services are affected by storage latency in region X" and receive structured responses that traverse infrastructure, orchestration, and application layers, without pre-built queries or domain expertise, enabling natural-language telemetry exploration across unified observability data.
- Autonomous Root Cause Analysis and Dependency Reasoning: Virtana's system dependency graph provides AI agents with live topology awareness, enabling autonomous correlation of signals, dependencies, and historical patterns to identify probable root cause and prioritize actions based on downstream impact rather than isolated symptoms.
- Analyze System Behavior Holistically: AI agents can correlate signals across network, infrastructure, and application layers to understand how distributed systems interact across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, eliminating visibility gaps created by fragmented observability tools through context-aware enrichment based on learned system behavior.
- Recommend Optimizations Based on Dependency-Aware Understanding: Built on Virtana's patented optimization architecture, AI agents can leverage dependency-aware insights to recommend intelligent actions grounded in real system structure rather than isolated metrics.
- Drive Automation Through Open Execution Frameworks: Automation platforms such as Ansible, Terraform, and other orchestration tools can connect through Virtana's MCP Server to execute workflows based on AI-generated insights and decisions.
With the Virtana MCP Server, AI agents understand enterprise-wide system dependencies, from infrastructure to applications, moving beyond reactive monitoring to deliver intelligent recommendations based on real operational context.

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 ...
