By: Ipswitch, Inc. Network Management Division While virtualized environments reduce the overall cost of ownership, improve reliability and enhance the flexibility of IT architectures, they also make the monitoring and management of data centers more complex. Systems and datacenter managers must frequently contend with using different management tools for managing physical and virtual infrastructure, leading to fragmented views of network availability and delaying the time to problem resolution. Further, traditional monitoring approaches, like SNMP and WMI, are unable to address with the dynamic creation, breakdown and allocation of virtual capacities. Consequently, virtualization vendors like VMware have moved to publish management information through their own APIs in order to provide an accurate representation of real-time network utilization. “WhatsVirtual makes IT management simple by enabling single console monitoring for all physical and virtual servers,” said Kevin Gillis, VP of product management, Ipswitch, Inc.’s Network Management Division. “With WhatsVirtual’ WhatsVirtual provides configurable reporting and alerting to ensure that real-time status and immediate notification of failures and performance issues result in speedy isolation and resolution. It supports intuitive drill downs from ESX/ESXi host system representations into each virtual machine, and further into component resources to provide administrators support for VMware actions and management tasks. These tasks can be scheduled for recurring action, as well as performed on-demand directly from the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center. "Virtualization has become mainstream in the past year, and many customers have deployed thousands of virtual server environments across their enterprises. With WhatsVirtual, we are ensuring that every company interested in, considering or evaluating server virtualization for the first time has access to industry-leading virtualization management technology and backbone SNMP based devices in one solution," said Ennio Carboni, president, Ipswitch, Inc.’s Network Management Division.
