Key Benefits

  • Predictive recommendations – Actionable Intelligence allows for single-click remediation of active and predicted VM performance and resource allocation.
  • Capacity planning – Predict CPU, memory, network, and storage needs for VMware, vSphere, and Microsoft Hyper-V. Run “what-if” modeling scenarios to predict resource usage.
  • Active virtualization alerts – Active virtualization alerts are categorized as critical, serious, warning, and informational. Clicking an alert will show it in greater detail.
  • Management dashboards – Monitor and fix performance issues unique to VMware, vSphere, and Microsoft Hyper-V. Performance, storage, and capacity planning dashboards allow you to fix issues quickly.
  • Management actions – Remediate issues without having to log in to a hypervisor. Performance storage and host migrations, add/remove CPU and memory, and manage snapshots, all from a single location.
  • VM sprawl control – Reclaim resources back into the virtual pool. Power off idle VMs, and delete powered-off VMs, orphaned VMDK files and snapshots to reclaim resources.
