Complete visibility into your entire environment
Monitor VMware vSphere, Nutanix AHV, and Microsoft Hyper-V environments, whether on-premises or in the cloud—with a single tool. VMAN can also deliver visibility into how your virtualization environment connects to application, server, and storage infrastructure for faster troubleshooting.
Easily access what you need to maximize performance
- Get at-a-glance insight into the performance, capacity, configuration, and usage of your virtualized infrastructure, including hosts, VMs, clusters, containers, vSANs, and other data stores. VMAN is also designed to deliver predictive recommendations to address active or potential performance issues. These recommendations can be run immediately or scheduled to run later—or use batch execution for quicker problem resolution.
Address virtualization issues efficiently
- The VMAN console can execute a variety of management actions, including power on/off, suspend and reboot a VM, or take and delete snapshots. You can migrate VMsto a different host and VM disks to a different datastore or shared cluster volume. These actions can be triggered manually or through customized alerts or scripts, which can help you optimize your resources without jumping to a separate tool.
Reclaim resources for improved performance and cost savings
- You can reclaim vir tual resources quickly with VM sprawl aler ts and recommendations. VMAN can automatically find idle, stale, and zombie VMs and orphaned VMDKs to help you free up storage space and improve overall performance. VMAN can guide you in rightsizing your VMs to recapture CPU and memory resources for further savings.
Assign costs to specific workloads
- SolarWinds VMAN delivers easy-to-use chargeback reporting to calculate the computing costs of specific virtual workloads. With this information, you can clearly communicate virtual infrastructure cost information for more effective budgeting.
