Manage performance, measure capacity and perform chargeback for virtual
and physical infrastructures
vFoglight is a best-in-class virtualization management solution that provides performance monitoring, capacity planning,
chargeback, and service management to help organizations mitigate the impact of resource sharing and support key business
objectives.
Virtualization has changed the way the infrastructure is managed and rendered obsolete many of the tools and practices IT has
traditionally used to understand and ensure performance and availability of systems. This extends further with implications for
capacity planning, service management and the understanding of costs relative to utilization.
With vFoglight, administrators can visualize the entire infrastructure through detailed architectural representations and leverage
out-of-the-box alerts and expert advice to detect, diagnose and resolve problems affecting performance and availability.
Scenario-based models and predictive alerts also help organizations plan, manage and optimize infrastructure capacity, improving
performance and resource utilization. Additionally, vFoglight uses industry chargeback models to help track infrastructure utilization,
enabling costs to be recovered for the services provided. And with built-in service dependency models, vFoglight let's
administrators define SLA achievement and proactively monitor service health and availability.

vFoglight Features:
Detailed Architectural Representations – Understand the virtual infrastructure through clear, high-level visual representations
which include color coding and movements to focus attention on problem areas. This helps administrators to quickly identify
problems occurring in the virtual infrastructure to speed problem diagnosis and resolution.
Guest Process Investigation – Drill-down into the processes running within VMs to understand internal performance and
resource utilization. This helps administrators to quickly determine which processes are impacting VM performance or which VMs
are utilizing resources ineffectively.
Out-of-the Box Alerts with Expert Advice – Detailed alarms covering best practices, future predictions, deviations from normal
activity and specific operational problems. Accurately diagnose the root-cause of incidents and problems and speed
ean-time-to-resolution.
Asset and Configuration Tracking – Track the movement of virtual machines and changes to their configurations from one
physical server to another, while correlating the impact that those changes may have on the performance and availability of
applications and services, as well as on other virtual machines.
Workload Migration Modeling – Show the resource impact of moving a virtual machine from one physical system to another to
determine if planned moves will have unfavorable impact on resources and services.
Resource Utilization Management – Gather and summarize performance and utilization data at all levels of the virtual
infrastructure to identify capacity issues, underutilized capacity and predict underutilization.
Multiple Virtual Center Management – Visualize multiple virtual centers using a single screen to proactively understand the
entire virtual infrastructure while reducing administration costs and minimizing risk.
Reporting – Provides out-of-the-box reports for capacity, performance, asset tracking, provisioning trends and infrastructure
events. This helps administrators to communicate current and available capacity, virtual machines that require attention, plan and
prioritize performance and availability enhancements, and understand changes to infrastructure assets.
