MSP Center Plus

VMware ESX Monitoring

Every day SMBs face tough challenges to meet their business requirements and gain a competitive edge. Though they carry out regular hardware upgrades/maintenance or buy more servers to ensure their mission critical applications are redundant and are able to be accessed in a fly, it becomes more complex for them to manage multiple servers and handle regular upgrades/maintenance. Increasing the servers also increases the space and power consumption. Thanks to VMware, the next generation servers, where the single server box is virtually partitioned into multiple servers that provide excellent redundancy support, zero downtime during hardware maintenance and much more.

VMware ESX server hosts multiple virtual servers of different OS on a single host machine. Each virtual machine functions as an individual server component and hosts applications, which reduces the number of physical server boxes and increases the energy efficiency. MSP Center Plus out–of–the–box monitors VMware and its individual instances for health and performance, therefore helping you service providers to add more value to your clients.

MSP Center Plus’s VMware Monitoring Benefits

Availability & Performance: Besides monitoring the availability of the VMware and its individual instances, you can also closely monitor the performance of the resources on each virtual machine like the CPU, Memory, and if the allocated resource for each instance is utilized optimally. Intuitive dashboard graphs for the server farm helps you quickly identify if the resources are over–utilized or under-utilized.

Capacity Planning: Having a VMware in a production environment allows for optimal capacity planning and in effective use of system resources. MSP Center Plus optimizes administrator productivity by providing a single monitoring dashboard of the availability of every individual resource & instance on the host. A snapshot view of the VMware server in MSP Center Plus helps in quick decision making and levering of resources optimally.
