Virtual Machine (VM) Capacity Planning and Management Tool
Virtualization capacity planning tools help you optimize resource utilization
Powerful VM capacity planning tools
SolarWinds® Virtualization Manager (VMAN) includes a VM capacity planning feature designed to help you predict CPU, memory, network, and storage needs for your Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere environments.
By using current VM growth and resource constraints stats, you can more easily determine hardware purchase needs. Use VMAN to model future server and hardware additions to see if your environment can scale to meet workload needs. With VMAN, it’s easy to view consumption trends to determine resource warning and outage dates, or you can customize the sample timeframe to create individual capacity plans for peak or non-peak usage.
Test virtualization capacity with modeling scenarios
The virtualization capacity planning feature in VMAN allows you to run what-if modeling scenarios, such as accessing existing virtual machines and host usage to see the effects of a host or multiple hosts going down.
You can also use VMAN virtual machine monitoring to help determine whether your virtual machine will run smoothly or not, see what resources could experience a bottleneck in the event of a device failure, and determine the effect on your environment if additional hosts or resources are added. Overall, VMAN helps you understand how to load balance your environment for better VM performance and capacity efficiency.
