Say Hello to Our New Virtualization Manager

How many VMs do I have and which ones are over or under provisioned?

Virtualization Manager auto-discovers all the VMs and hosts in your environment and makes it easy to keep VM sprawl at bay by finding idle and stale VMs, zombie VMs, orphaned files, and over- or under-allocated VMs.

Where are the performance bottlenecks in my virtualized environment?

The intuitive dashboards in Virtualization Manager deliver at-a-glance insight into the health and performance of your virtual environment and make it easy to understand if you are experiencing virtualization-specific problems such as memory ballooning or contention for shared CPUs or storage resources.

How are my VMs configured?

Virtualization Manager enables you to see how your VM and host configurations have changed over time and whether the virtual environment configuration is drifting from your gold standard.

How many app servers will fit in my current environment and when will I need more resources?

The advanced search-based analytics in Virtualization Manager enable you to determine optimal VM placement, explore what-if scenarios, identify capacity shortfalls, and forecast application-specific capacity needs.

What departments are using which resources?

Virtualization Manager makes it easy to track and showback business unit and departmental resource usage and costs.
