Vizioncore Inc., the market leader in virtualization data protection and management solutions, today announced the availability of vFoglight 6.0, the latest iteration of its market-leading performance monitoring and capacity planning tool. vFoglight 6.0 provides a best-in-class virtualization management solution that enables administrators to better understand the complex relationships and interactions among all the components within a virtual infrastructure.

With vFoglight 6.0, Vizioncore has simplified the process for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) wanting to effectively manage their virtual infrastructures by providing clarity and expertise to performance and availability issues through architectural representations and relationships. Virtualization management has become critical to the success of virtual infrastructure performance.

According to Gartner, “The IT processes that an organization has developed for years are generally not set up for 'speed' and rapid change. Asset management, configuration management, performance management and capacity planning all must be modified and must embrace a much more dynamic environment. Gartner has encountered many organizations that have virtualized too far, too fast. Their management tools and processes did not keep up, and the result was increased, rather than decreased, complexity — speed led to virtualization sprawl. Organizations undertaking virtualization must examine the impact to their management tools and operational processes before virtualization takes root.”¹

Tyler Jewell, Vice President, Products for Vizioncore, added, “Many organizations that implement virtualization also do not realize the full benefits due to the poor performance of infrastructure resources, and this can ultimately lead to reduced system performance and missed service levels. By using vFoglight 6.0, Vizioncore provides administrators with the clarity to easily identify and resolve problems that affect performance, meaning they get the most out of their systems.”

vFoglight 6.0 is the only integrated solution that provides these four critical benefits:

• Performance Monitoring – detects, diagnoses and resolves problems affecting performance and availability in both virtual and physical server environments.
• Capacity Planning – reduces the need for additional resources to support the infrastructure, saving costs while gaining administration efficiencies.
• Chargeback - provides cost transparency to IT management and business stakeholders that indicates what groups and workloads are consuming resources and allows costs to be recovered proportionately.
• Service Level Management – better aligns IT and the business by measuring service levels, performing chargeback and reporting key information to stakeholders.

In addition, vFoglight 6.0 offers scenario-based models and predictive alerts to help organizations plan, manage and optimize infrastructure capacity, improving performance and resource utilization. With built-in service dependency models, vFoglight 6.0 also lets administrators define SLA achievement and proactively monitor service health and availability.
