- Track your environment over time – understand where the virtual environment has been and where it’s going
- Trend and report on key virtualization management metrics and KPIs such as VM growth, consolidation ratios, uptime, sprawl and more
- Determine if your configuration is drifting from the gold standard
- Ensure that your virtualized infrastructure is configured consistently across all of your virtual assets
- Cut troubleshooting time in half by quickly pinpointing problems and answer “what changed?”, even inside the guest
Performance issues are commonly caused by configuration changes. And in a virtual environment, configurations changes can be very difficult to control.
The virtual machine configuration management features in SolarWinds Virtualization Manager makes it easy to track and trend the configuration of your VMs, guest operating systems, and virtualized applications.
Virtualization Manager’s historical records are leveraged in a feature called Virtual DNA which enables you to troubleshoot performance issues resulting from config changes and determine if configs are drifting from the gold standard. Virtual DNA allows configurations to be compared over time, meaning that you can easily compare the configuration of a VM since it was handed off to another team such as an application management team.
Virtual Machine Configuration Management has never been easier.
Virtualization Manager speeds troubleshooting by reducing the volume of data that must be collected and analyzed—allowing you to quickly and easily compare the differences between one virtual machine and another, a virtual machine and a template image, or a virtual machine to itself over time.
