Virtual environments are dynamic and in constant change, making it challenging for administrators to maintain control over the environments. Establishing just how in control or out of control an environment may be requires a significant amount of manual data mining and calculations. VKernel’s vOPS Server Explorer uses the same analytics and advisory engine from the paid vOPS Server Standard product to provide virtual administrators with a rapid assessment of the state of their environment.
Customers use the product to:
Identify critical VM configuration errors such as memory limits and old snapshots that will severely affect performance and can be especially hard to track down and solve.
Recognise performance bottlenecks from high CPU ready, memory swapping, device latency and other causes.
Detect inefficiency/waste created by VMs with CPU, memory and storage over allocation.
Find available capacity expressed as the number of VMs that can be deployed without causing performance bottlenecks.
Pinpoint oversubscription of CPU, memory and storage resources and whether the over-allocation is impacting performance.
Search for a specific VMs using Google Like search capability.
