SolarWinds announced enhancements to SolarWinds Virtualization Manager, which provides troubleshooting and monitoring for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere to manage and optimize virtual environments.
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager now includes management actions within the product dashboard for immediate remediation when performance, capacity, or sprawl issues are identified. Additionally, IT pros can configure alerts to automatically trigger a management action to enhance optimal performance of virtual machines supporting mission critical applications around the clock.
“In today’s application-centric business world, the virtualized layer of the IT infrastructure helps to facilitate the availability and scalability that businesses need,” said Nikki Jennings, Group VP, Products and Markets, SolarWinds. “SolarWinds Virtualization Manager now plays an even more crucial role in helping businesses function at the speed of IT by enabling IT pros to take action from within their performance, capacity and sprawl dashboards to remediate problems in a few clicks, reduce hardware costs and enhance the performance of their virtual resources to support the IT infrastructure at all times.”
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager now combines performance, configuration and hypervisor-specific alerts with related management actions in a single dashboard, enabling IT pros to remediate issues in as few as two clicks instead of utilizing multiple products to take action. Traditionally, any issues that triggered an alert would have to be manually fixed, but now IT pros can automate remediation with customized alert triggers to ensure the health of their virtual environment even when they are not in the office.
