VMware Virtualization Management
Virtualization planning and ongoing management is a time-intensive process today. For server administrators and IT consultants, the benefits of deploying virtualized infrastructure is enhanced if it efficiently uses the underlying host resources and the overall server capacity is properly monitored. Yet if done manually, this requires a ton of time and attention, which most people simply don't have time for.
GoToManage tracks all of the host and VM configurations and delivers 
real-time resource monitoring and capacity analysis capabilities.
Through trend analysis and detailed dashboards that display resource utilization trends, you can easily predict capacity bottlenecks. GoToManage enables you to increase VM densities on existing hardware which reduces the need to purchase expensive server infrastructure. You can also set up alerts to be notified when critical thresholds are met and directly integrate GoToManage's inventory management and search capabilities into VMware vCenter (VirtualCenter). This makes it easy to understand what OS and software is running on each VM without leaving the vCenter interface.
Another issue arises as your virtual infrastructure grows. Managing simple tasks like tracking the hosts and VMs becomes difficult, especially as others create new instances. GoToManage's universal search technology allows you to instantly answer the following questions:
- What host a VM is on
- What VMs are deployed on a given host
- The IP address of a VM
- What the VM is for an IP address
- What OS and software is deployed on your VMs
The GoToManage Virtualization Monitoring application is included at no additional cost with the basic GoToManage service for managing your entire IT infrastructure. There is no hardware required or complex software to set up. GoToManage continually monitors the status of all of the hosts and VMs and securely sends the collected data to an index for analysis. Each business has its own secure GoToManage Index that keeps the information completely separate and private from every other user.
Features:
- Automates the data collection for all VWware virtualized infrastructure
- "Google-like" search automatically indexes the entire VMware ESX and ESXi environments
- Gathers rich details on CPU, load averages, software packages, memory, and disk utilization just to name a few
- Proactively monitor aggregate host and individual VM attributes including uptime, CPU, memory, network, disk, etc.
- GoToManage menu and search tab plug-ins for the VI Client for browsing of key VM information (e.g. installed software) and instant querying of data from the virtualized environment
- Integrated with the complete GoToManage IT Management platform for visualizing and controlling your complete environment
Benefits:
- Rapidly find and track all VMs
- Avoid downtime and eliminate capacity bottlenecks
- Visualize health and performance data for ESX hosts and VMs
- Predict future capacity requirements based on trend data
- Be proactively notified when performance problems occur
