vFoglight Storage

Monitoring Physical Storage Performance and Capacity Utilization Beneath the Virtual Infrastructure

vFoglight Storage monitors virtual infrastructures and provides performance metrics to help optimize the physical storage shared throughout a virtual environment. vFoglight Storage also monitors storage capacity utilization enabling administrators to intelligently project storage capacity requirements. With vFoglight Storage, you’ll have the information you need to optimize virtual storage performance ensuring you meet SLAs, keep customers happy and retain cost savings you've achieved through virtualization.

  • Pinpoints storage-related I/O problems that affect performance and availability
  • Identifies capacity utilization issues that can cause excessive storage acquisitions and painful VM outages
  • Provides comprehensive storage monitoring of performance, capacity, and topology to ensure the physical storage layer properly supports its virtual infrastructure
  • FAQs and Scripted Reporting features bring storage performance, capacity, and topology issues and problems to administrators’ attention fast
  • Performance monitoring to help you quickly identify performance problems that impact the virtual environment
  • Capacity monitoring to help you identify capacity issues, including how much storage each datastore is using
  • Topology and graphical views and that show relationships between virtual and physical storage infrastructure, helping you determine if your storage setup best meets your organization’s needs
  • Out-of-the-box alerts and detailed alarms to highlight deviations from industry best practices, allowing you to identify and resolve problems faster
  • Out-of-the-box reports on performance, capacity and alarms, making it easy to communicate storage performance and capacity information to key stakeholders
