Virtana (formerly Virtual Instruments) is an AI-powered hybrid infrastructure observability company whose platform monitors and optimizes performance, cost, and risk across on-premises, colocation, and cloud environments. The platform spans Infrastructure Observability, Container Observability, Application and Service Observability, AI Factory (GPU/AI workload) Observability, Storage Load Testing, and Cloud Cost Management. Virtana exposes public developer surfaces — the Global View APIs (alerts, external alert ingestion, on-prem storage dashboards), the Infrastructure Observability Public REST API (/api/sdk/p/2), and a Cloud Cost Management API — all secured with OAuth2 client-credentials bearer tokens, plus an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents live access to metric, alert, inventory, relationship, and schema data over streaming HTTP.
