In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

Virsto Software Beefs Up Storage Hypervisor

January 17, 2012 10:00 AM

Virsto Software, which claims to have coined the phrase "storage hypervisor," is now shipping Virsto for VDI, vSphere edition, and Virsto for Hyper-V 2.0, adding advanced storage management functionality to the two most popular server virtualization solutions. The company says its products increase existing physical storage utilization by up to 90%, accelerate virtual machine provisioning by up to 75% and reduce the cost of storage in virtual environments by up to 70%.

vSphere Tops Hyper-V in Disk I/O

January 17, 2011 12:21 PM

As a user of server virtualization tools, and a follower of the market, I've always thought that VMware's lead was evident primarily on the management side of the ledger--with vCenter integration, vMotion, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and the like. Microsoft Hyper-V, I thought, was a competitive hypervisor that needed a bit more age in the bottle to develop the features that I love in vSphere. Then Overland Storage hired my firm, DeepStorage.net, to test its SnapSAN S2000 in both environments, and I saw that the same hardware could perform about 23 more input/output operations per second (IOP) under vSphere than under Hyper-V.

Quest Updates vFoglight; New Features, Better Reporting

November 30, 2010 09:37 AM

Quest Software has announced version 6.5 of its vFoglight virtualization performance management software, which adds support for Microsoft's Hyper-V, a more easily customized administrative dashboard and improved reporting capabilities. Other new features in this version include improvements in automated responses to event alarms, the ability to more easily determine the root cause of virtual machine problems, broader support for common virtual machine tasks, additional information that is easier to understand about the infrastructure, and support for features present in the most recent versions of VMware.

VDI Vendor Pano Logic Adds Hyper-V Support

October 07, 2010 12:00 PM

Desktop virtualization vendor Pano Logic is extending its market reach with the latest update to its desktop virtualization platform. Pano System 3.5 adds Microsoft Hyper-V to its existing VMware hypervisor support. The Pano System is a complete virtual desktop environment that includes the Pano Manager, a virtual machine manager and connection broker; the Pano device, a 1.1-pound thin client that is used to connect peripherals such as keyboard, mouse and monitor; and Pano Direct, which connects clients to centralized virtual desktops.

New Software Provides VM Capacity Planning, Self-Service

August 27, 2010 11:00 AM

Embotics has announced version 3.6 of its V-Commander virtualization management software, which includes capacity management that helps system administrators track server resources, a self-service portal that lets users see the virtual machines that have been designated to them--including the ability to run their own reports without having to get too-broad permissions--and the ability to run reports on a schedule. Users with the appropriate permissions can also power-on, power-off, or suspend VMs without their own account in vCenter, though V-Commander registers such actions in an audit log.

VMware Go: The Hyper-V Killer?

January 27, 2010 10:30 AM

For a long time, if there is such a thing as a "long time" in the virtualization space, Microsoft's Hyper-V has had a significant advantage over VMware in IT shops that are just dipping their toes in the virtualization waters. Administrators could choose between the familiar, comfortable interface of Windows or grapple with the perceived interface and complexity of VMware. Not much of a choice. VMware Go should change all of that. VMware Go ESXi isn't a new operating environment as it is a wizard-driven deployment of ESXi servers. It's meant for small business interested in using virtualization, but who may have been put off by the complexity of learning a new environment. In effect, it removes much of the advantage Hyper-V has had in selling a Windows environment.

Networking In Microsoft Hyper-V: The Video

September 17, 2009 10:38 AM

I've been diving into all aspects of the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 ecosystem lately, as the operating systems move out into the enterprise. High on my radar is Hyper-V, the server virtualization solution that's available both as a standalone product and as part Windows Server 2008 R2.
