Virtual environments are complex, dynamic and built upon shared pools of resources - management tools built for the physical era are not sufficient for the virtual journey towards Private Cloud Computing. New management challenges have emerged with virtualization adoption, around assuring performance, capacity, reporting and chargeback. How do you find a powerful solution to all these new challenges without breaking the bank? Join SolarWinds for a sneak peek webcast of our upcoming Virtualization Manager 4.0 release. We’ll show you how to take your virtualization initiative to the next level as we discuss: • Performance Management - Get recommendations on performance contention and hot spots across your shared memory, CPU and storage resources. • Capacity Planning - Take your planning to the next level by factoring storage and network IO into your capacity plans • Dashboard Reporting - Check out the new dashboards for sharing visibility into the health and cost of your environment • Time Travel - You'll have to wait and see on this one!

25. SolarWinds Capacity Management Capabilities Capacity Operations Question Answered Performance bottleneck detection Has my capacity been exceeded? Performance bottleneck prediction When will a bottleneck occur? Capacity Optimization Question Answered VM addition analysis How many more VMs can I add? What-if analysis What if I add more VMs, hosts, storage? VM placement analysis Which cluster should I place my VM in? Application capacity analysis What is my average SQL server or Exchange VM using? Capacity shortfall identification When will I run out of capacity? Parameter isolation analysis How do I know when I’ll run out of just CPU, mem, or storage in isolation? Capacity Planning Question Answered Capacity purchase recommendations How much more (CPU, mem, storage) do I need to buy? VM sprawl resolution Do I have stale, zombie, orphaned, or rogue VMs?
