Cloud-based service provides a quick and easy way for enterprise IT teams to verify vSphere configuration correctness and prevent availability issues
Continuity Software, the leading
provider of IT operations analytics solutions for infrastructure outage
prevention, today announced the general availability of its vSphere Resilience HealthCheck.
The free cloud-based service allows enterprise IT teams to validate the
health of their virtual infrastructure in a simple and automated manner
that takes just minutes.
Developed by leading experts in IT
operations analytics and leveraging the industry's most comprehensive
knowledgebase, the vSphere Resilience HealthCheck dramatically improves
infrastructure resilience and ensures that VMware teams are correctly
applying the most current best-practices.
"Virtual infrastructure has become
a dominant part of the modern data center, and the complexity of these
environments continues to increase," explained Doron Pinhas,
CTO of Continuity Software. "Under a constant stream of configuration
changes, human mistakes still proliferate, often resulting in painful
and costly outages."
"Keeping up with VMware best
practices, especially while upgrading to new versions, is another
significant challenge," continued Pinhas. "What was a recommended
configuration setting in vSphere v5.5 may have adverse effects in v6.0.
Yet these configurations are automatically carried forward during the
VMware upgrade process, making a post-upgrade check against current
best-practices especially important."
Using the vSphere Resilience
HealthCheck is simple. Any VMware enterprise administrator can access
and run the HealthCheck in a matter of minutes. Less than one hour
later, a detailed report is provided, including an overall risk-level
rating for the virtual infrastructure; a detailed assessment of the
health and stability of all virtual infrastructure components (storage,
compute, and network); and clearly-defined remediation steps for the
issues presented. The report is delivered free-of-charge. An expanded
version of the report is available for purchase.
The free vSphere Resilience HealthCheck is available at http://app.continuitysoftware.com.
