Vizioncore Inc., the market leader in virtualization data protection and management solutions, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Software, Inc., today announced the availability of vFoglight QuickView, the free edition of its market-leading vFoglight virtualization management offering. vFoglight QuickView is a simple and quick-to-deploy monitoring solution that provides essential alerts and data to enable administrators to quickly detect, diagnose and resolve critical issues within the virtual infrastructure.

“Right out of the box, vFoglight QuickView gave us full visibility into our virtualized cloud environment,” said Chadd Warwick, a systems architect with CSS Hosted Systems. "Instead of spending hours searching through logs to find the source of a problem, vFoglight QuickView gives us the visibility and ability to identify the root cause in minutes. The reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide daily summaries to management on utilization against our investment. We were also able to reclaim over 400GB from snapshots we didn’t know about.”

“vFoglight QuickView gives virtual administrators the tools to grasp and manage the complexities inherent within highly virtualized environments,” said Steve Stover senior director of product management for Vizioncore. “The availability of a free tool of this caliber, which provides visibility, monitoring, and reporting for understanding the performance and availability of virtual environments, is of paramount importance to our customers as they continue to deploy and grow server virtualization. Having this capability without the risk of costly implementations and license fees is a huge benefit.”

vFoglight QuickView Features:

• Proactive monitoring to quickly and effectively detect, diagnose and resolve performance problems impacting virtualized environments
• Real-time visibility and understanding of the state of the virtual infrastructure and its dependencies
• Performance reporting to help identify resource contention and other issues that affect performance and availability

Users of vFoglight QuickView can leverage an online community designed to provide best practices for managing the performance of virtual environments along with tips and tricks from Vizioncore product experts. “VM administrators often struggle to understand the performance of their virtual environment and need both tools and techniques to resolve common infrastructure problems," Stover said. "The Vizioncore vCommunity allows users to collaborate with their peers while better understanding how vFoglight QuickView can improve their operational efficiency.
