Virtana, a leader in deep hybrid-infrastructure observability, is acquiring Zenoss, a pioneer in real-time IT service monitoring and a leader in AI-powered event intelligence, to bridge the gap between service visibility and infrastructure control in hybrid environments.
According to the companies, the increased scale of Virtana and Zenoss will enable greater opportunity for accelerated investment and innovation.
The combined entity introduces the industry’s broadest, deepest, and most unified observability platform, empowering IT and risk management teams to trace incidents from business-service impact to underlying infrastructure behavior through a single, AI-powered lens.
By correlating real-time user impact, service topology, and hybrid infrastructure telemetry, this integration enables customers to quickly pinpoint failures, performance issues, and cost drivers, eliminating blind spots and accelerating resolution.
The combination positions Virtana to address a rapidly expanding observability and hybrid cloud monitoring market, expected to surpass $19 billion by 2028, according to industry estimates.
“This acquisition isn’t just an expansion of our capabilities, it’s a strategic shift toward end-to-end control over hybrid infrastructure performance, cost, and risk—closing existing gaps in observability,” said Paul Appleby, CEO and president of Virtana. “By bringing Zenoss’ service-centric event intelligence together with Virtana Platform’s deep infrastructure and cost analytics, we’re eliminating the blind spots left by legacy monitoring tools. We’re excited to join forces with Zenoss to continue Virtana’s mission in driving innovation within observability.”
The combination of Virtana and Zenoss creates the first platform to provide Full-Stack Observability from top-level services to the deepest level infrastructure, the vendors said.
This acquisition combines Zenoss’ model-informed AIOps with real-time IT service mapping, event correlation, and real-time topology visualization with Virtana’s agentic AI and machine-learning models for capacity and cost optimization.
While some system disruptions are caused by external cyberattacks, most result from internal failures—misconfigurations, capacity limits, cascading service degradation, or delayed detection. The combined platform will help IT and operations teams surface issues earlier, understand their impact faster, and act before they disrupt business continuity.
Virtana and Zenoss share a vision that actionable observability must scale with complexity, align to business outcomes, and reduce operational burden.
Upon closing, the companies will operate as one organization under the Virtana brand, fully supporting current offerings while accelerating a shared roadmap that integrates the best of both platforms into a next-generation unified observability solution, according to the companies.
“Large enterprises, government institutions, and managed service providers rely on Zenoss to keep mission-critical services running,” added Greg Stock, CEO of Zenoss. “The combination of Zenoss and Virtana gives our customers and partners access to broader visibility, deeper infrastructure analytics, and a unified strategy for improving resilience, performance, and operational efficiency. This is a huge day for Zenoss—we’re thrilled to be joining the Virtana team.”
