Xangati is a virtual appliance that runs on VMware vSphere. It manages the entire end-to-end IT infrastructure including physical and virtual machines (VMs) running the Windows or Linux operating systems. It supports Hyper-V and XenServer based VMs and has deep integration into NetApp fabric-attached storage (FAS) systems. Xangati collects its information from protocols and APIs (no agents), including servers, switches, storage systems, hypervisors and services such as those delivering VMs, virtual desktops, and virtual applications as well as all mobile devices, PCs and Apple computers.

Headquartered in San Jose, California, Xangati currently provides virtualized services for over 400 organizations worldwide and has a development center in Pune, India. Subramanian Sundaresh has been the Chief Executive Officer and President of Xangati since November 2013.[1]

Xangati was acquired by Virtual Instruments for an undisclosed amount in November 2016.[2]

History

In 2006, Xangati was founded by Jagan Jagannathan and Vasu Vasudevan. The mission of the organization was to create IT management software that could respond more efficiently than existing solutions to the dynamic nature of cloud and virtualization environments. The word Xangati is derived from the Sanskrit word “Sangathi”, which means “coming together to know more about ourselves."[3]

Xangati's initial focus was on physical network performance management wherein Xangati's real-time and highly scalable approach addressed emerging needs of CSPs and NSPs as they dealt with the expanding number of IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints.

In 2011, Xangati refocused on performance management for enterprise virtualized environments and partnered with Calix to resell its physical network performance management offerings.[4] Xangati’s offerings to the virtualization market include the VI suite for infrastructure performance management and the VDI suite for virtual desktop performance management.

In September 2013, Xangati raised $11M in Series A funding from Citrix Systems and HighBAR Partners.[3] Xangati’s offerings include service assurance suites for VDI, Published Apps, Web Apps and Custom Workloads. Integrated into these suites is its unique StormTracker™ deep analytics capability to identify and resolve resource contentions that cause widespread and unanticipated performance degradation.[5]
