VKernel Makes Available Its Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer Virtual Appliance
VKernel, a provider of virtual appliances for managing virtual server environments, has made available its Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer Virtual Appliance. According to the company, Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer immediately identifies current and future capacity bottleneck issues in VMware ESX environments lowering the cost of each virtual machine while ensuring higher performance.
“The real challenge for IT staffs is finding a solution that helps them identify capacity bottlenecks without wasting countless man-hours. Within minutes, our Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer can show exactly where capacity bottlenecks are today and where problems are likely to occur to maximize virtual machine utilization,” said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel.
VKernel’s patent-pending technology monitors CPU, memory, and storage utilization trends in VMware ESX environments across hosts, clusters, and resource pools. This virtual appliance model gives users a simple, single-screen management dashboard that displays detailed capacity information to effectively plan for the addition of new hosts, clusters, and resource pools. By customizing capacity thresholds, users can receive alerts via email and SNMP, claimed Vkernel.
With price starting at USD 199 per CPU socket, a full production 14-day trial version of this VKernel virtual appliance is available on www.vkernel.com.
