Cloud Computing

Managed service providers and Software-as-a-Service providers are implementing virtualization to reduce costs and increase manageability of their cloud computing environments. Administrators need continuous virtual desktop (VDI) monitoring to spot potential VDI performance problems, and to diagnose desktop virtualization issues reported by end users. Administrators also require more capabilities to respond automatically to performance issues and to control activity for better and more consistent performance. Existing virtual desktop (VDI) monitoring systems only see part of the picture, and lack features for response and control. In addition, user activity monitoring and control is often needed to validate security.

vmSight gives cloud computing providers full visibility into user and application activity in virtualized desktop environments, with end-to-end VDI performance metrics, allowing them to more easily spot and diagnose performance problems and ensure the service levels and reliability of their applications. vmSight uses a highly efficient and scalable monitoring and data collection system inside virtual machines and at the virtual network layer to give administrators the deeper data they need without compromising the efficiency of their virtual environment. Dashboards, reports and alerts help identify bottlenecks before they become a problem, and quickly solve problems that do occur. vmSight also provides complete response and control capabilities to automate administrative tasks and to block or throttle user activity to ensure good performance. vmSight ensures that providers can:

• Continuously measure end user experience
• Receive key application performance indicators for users, applications, VMs, network and SAN
• Validate security and regulatory compliance
• Control VM sprawl
• Allocate network bandwidth by application and reserve bandwidth for streaming
• Track individual user activity for billing purposes
• Provide customers with detailed service level and regulatory compliance reports
