- The only Korean company recognized, which we believe validates global-level infrastructure monitoring capabilities
- WhaTap recognized for server, Kubernetes, and network performance monitoring
SEOUL, South Korea, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WhaTap Labs, a leading observability platform company headquartered in Korea, announced today that it has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Infrastructure Monitoring Tools.
In its latest Market Guide, Gartner provides insights into the evolving infrastructure monitoring landscape, key strategic recommendations, and a list of representative vendors. The report states, "Advanced infrastructure monitoring tools employ data analytics and machine learning to enhance performance by enabling real-time insights, rapid diagnosis and troubleshooting." Gartner also states: " As mature enterprises adopt cloud-native architectures, I&O teams have shifted their focus from troubleshooting toward root cause analysis in order to enhance resilience..….. As a result, Gartner forecasts demand growth for infrastructure monitoring tools at 10.1% for 2025."
According to Gartner: "Infrastructure monitoring tools capture the health and resource utilization of IT infrastructure components wherever they reside (e.g., in a data center, at the edge, infrastructure as a service [IaaS] or platform as a service [PaaS] in the cloud). This enables infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders to monitor and collate the availability and resource utilization data of physical, virtual and software entities — including servers, containers, network devices, database instances, hypervisors, storage and basic application monitoring. These tools collect data in real time and perform historical data analysis or trending of the elements they monitor."
WhaTap was recognized in this Market Guide for its flagship solution's strength in server monitoring, Kubernetes monitoring, and network performance monitoring as a Representative Vendor. As the only Korean company included in the report, we believe WhaTap's listing demonstrates its strong technical capabilities and positions it among global infrastructure monitoring leaders.
WhaTap Labs provides a real-time observability solution that enables rapid and accurate decision-making by analyzing IT operations data across the enterprise. The platform supports server, application, database, Kubernetes, and log monitoring in a comprehensive end-to-end full-stack environment. WhaTap is available as SaaS, private SaaS, or on-premises, ensuring high-performance monitoring regardless of the deployment model. IT operators and developers rely on WhaTap to quickly detect, analyze, and resolve diverse system issues in real time.
Dongin Lee, CEO of WhaTap Labs, commented, "It's an honor to have our decade-long commitment to technology and innovation recognized globally. Starting as Korea's first SaaS-based monitoring service in 2015, WhaTap has evolved into a full-stack observability platform. We will continue delivering high-quality solutions that support our customers' digital transformation and stable IT operations, while accelerating our global expansion into markets such as Southeast Asia."
