Finally, virtual environments have a true capacity-planning and performance management tool with Netreo's Virtualization Visualizer (V²). V² provides the solution to manage real-world performance in your virtual environment, allowing for deeper visibility with detailed real-time and historical information about clusters, resource pools, host systems, and the guests and applications that run on them.

• Increase your virtualization ROI by converting performance-critical servers safely
• Seamlessly and automatically map virtual guests to physical hosts, clusters, and storage resources
• Manage server sprawl by identifying and tracking servers, applications, and departments
• Go beyond basic host stats by viewing capacity planning and resource usage reports organized into applications and departments
• Reclaim underutilized and overconfigured storage, RAM, and virtual guests to improve performance
• Quickly identify the cause of performance bottlenecks and slowdowns

In a virtual server environment, tracking the performance of your applications and environment and determining the cause of performance slowdowns can become much more difficult. Further increasing virtualization penetration in your environment can save even more money, but it can be difficult to progress beyond the "low-hanging fruit" of easily-migrated low-utilization servers without impacting production application performance. In larger environments, "server sprawl" rapidly becomes an issue. Overworked IT departments must now keep track of dozens or hundreds of new virtual servers, what application or department requested them, and identifying orphaned, underutilized, and over-provisioned servers in order to shut them down or "right-size" their resource allocation.

 

Comprehensive Management

Getting started in virtualization is easy -- almost every environment has some low-utilization servers that are easy to convert to virtual guests, allowing you to immediately realize cost savings from virtualization and benefit from the many advantages of a virtualized environment.

However, converting your critical production applications to a virtual environment can be a lot more challenging. How will you monitor the performance levels of your applications, ensuring that they aren't degraded? How do you know the guests are configured with the correct amounts of memory, processor, and other resources, and that they are not causing I/O bottlenecks, or performance impacts on other applications?

V² solves that problem by providing real-time dashboards, alerts, and historical reporting for your entire virtual environment, allowing you to quickly see how much capacity is remaining, or identify bottlenecks in resources, and the guests and applications that caused them.
