What is Virtana Application Observability and how is it different?

Mar 23, 2026

Application Observability, Built for Hybrid Reality Modern applications don’t live in one place.

A single transaction might span:

  • Multiple cloud providers
  • Kubernetes clusters
  • Shared VMs
  • Legacy data center systems
  • External services

Traditional APM shows you the trace. But hybrid reality doesn’t stop at the service layer.

True application observability ties transactions to the infrastructure that actually delivered them across cloud, on-prem, and everything in between.

Because in hybrid environments, the root cause rarely lives in just one tier.

Breadth and depth aren’t marketing terms. They’re prerequisites for finding causality.
