Virtual Instruments brings automated VM right-sizing in v6.2
Summary
It can either effect changes itself via scripts generated to alter VM settings or make recommendations to administrators via its graphical user interface (GUI). Meanwhile, the workload drift analyser function monitors changes in application behaviour and helps determine whether changes in app attributes are at the root of issues. Finally, Virtual Instruments has announced full visibility into Dell EMC Isilon scale-out NAS environments, where it can carry out storage capacity forecasting, map application dependencies and provide hundreds of metrics. “Virtual Wisdom has always been always-on, but customer access was probably episodic,” said Virtual Instruments’ product vice-president, Tim van Ash. Now we’ve gone from only looking at monitoring and problems to embedding analytics and a dashboard front end to bring automation and management.” Recently, Virtual Wisdom acquired Metricly, with the aim of incorporating its capabilities into its portfolio to offer software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based infrastructure management across datacentre and cloud locations.
