VMTurbo Optimizer

The ONLY Real-time Management Solution for the Virtualized Data Center

(Top 10 Reasons to Choose VMTurbo) 

The Optimizer finds and fixes problems, and continuously optimizes the workload balance and capacity across the entire infrastructure.  It maximizes the ROI from your virtualized environment by assuring the quality of service delivered while right-sizing the environment by:

• Continuously monitoring the environment;
• Proactively detecting degradations and anomalies as they evolve;
• Recommending and executing the actions to resolve and prevent these problems;
• Maintaining the environment in a healthy state.

And, the flexible automation policies (recommendation, manual or automatic execution) put you in control.

Resolve Complex Problems

The elimination of IT silos, brought about by the emergence of virtualization, creates an opportunity for interference among mission-critical VMs -- interference that impacts performance, availability, and efficiency.  With the Optimizer, you can now quickly troubleshoot performance problems across all your physical and virtual resources, including:

• Memory: High utilization, swapping, ballooning, transparent page sharing, compressed memory;
• CPU: High utilization, co-scheduling;
• Network and storage interfaces: High I/O utilization, queue length, IOPS, Latency, aborted commands;
• Storage: High IOPS utilization on a data store, latency;
• vCPU and vMEM: High utilization;
• Virtual network and storage interfaces: High I/O utilization, queue length, IOPS, Latency, aborted commands;
• Storage: High utilization of space allocated to a datastore.

Real-time problem resolution and workload balancing

The Optimizer automatically troubleshoots and proactively suggests corrective action for major virtual infrastructure problems, as soon as they emerge. Among other things, the Optimizer empowers first line support staff to handle most issues, freeing you from handling common problems.  Real-time workload balancing and resource optimization in the virtualized data center becomes a reality.

Rich set of corrective actions

The Optimizer looks holistically at your entire infrastructure, and offers a broad set of actions to fix problems and optimize your environment.  The (growing) list of actions and recommendations include the following:

Proactive vs. Reactive

VMTurbo’s Virtualization Management Suite not only resolves problems, but also works to proactively keep the data center in a healthy state.  It is a proactive system that keeps the managed environment healthy by continuously adjusting and tuning the managed entities, keeping the performance of all the entities at a similar levels.  Unlike a threshold-based system that reacts to abnormalities when performance violates thresholds, VMTurbo maintains your data center in a much more stable and predictable state.
