VMware and Hyper-V Performance and Capacity Alerting into System Center
VKernel vOperations Suite features integration into Microsoft’s Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and can be easily configured to send alerts to SCOM and PROtip alerts to Systems Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). These alerts include performance and capacity information for critical events that are occurring or are forecast to happen in a virtual environment, such as rapidly increasing memory utilization. This integration is accomplished with the use of Microsoft certified management packs that are auto-installed as part of the SCOM integration setup process.
With VKernel, Microsoft System Center customers can extend their existing solution to VMware, Red Hat (in Q4 2011) and Hyper-V environments to maximize their System Center investment and operational knowledge.
