"The company's Global 2000 customers have long valued Virtana as a partner in optimising and managing their on-premises and private cloud infrastructure. We now have the unique opportunity to use the rich data sets coming from our AI-powered, high-performance monitoring tools to help customers and partners efficiently and effectively move to the public cloud and manage cloud resources for cost, performance, and availability."
