Assessment Tool Choices

VKernel offer three lightweight "assessment" tools that sit on your desktop. They are all:

  • Quick to download
  • Simple to install
  • Less than 10MB in size
  • Provide quick results
  • Free

1. ApplicationVIEW

ApplicationVIEW allows system administrators to monitor up to 5 selected VMs for performance problems with up to a 30-day history.

2. CapacityVIEW

CapacityVIEW provides overall system assessment listing number of VMs with performance problems or underutilized resources.

3. StorageVIEW

StorageVIEW provides near instant visibility into the top five host/datastore pairs and their associated VMs with the highest latency.

Choose One, Choose them All

Our free tools have evolved as we witnessed specific computational problems that vSphere was not handling effectively. The result is currently four tools in a growing family. Download one, download all of them - your choice. With a completed assessment, you can then investigate installing a trial version of the products in our Capacity Management Suite.

4. Capacity Modeler

Capacity Modeler allows system administrators to easily predict capacity and performance issues from proposed hardware, maintenance and configuration changes.
