Introducing
VKernel vOperations Suite™ 4.6

The new VKernel vOperations Suite 4.6 now introduces full compatability and support for the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) hypervisor, enhances vOPS' ability to detect trending changes and provides enhanced automation capabilities for virtual machine management. Specifically, vOPS™ 4.6 introduces:

• Enhanced Trending Change Detection - vOPS can now detect when VM metrics accelerate in their trending changes.
• New Automation Features - The automation capabilities of vOPS are enhanced with: auto-deletion of abandoned VM images; auto-merging of unused snapshots; and additional automated remediation for performance issues and auto-calculation of future resource requirements. Default trend alarms also pre-configured in the product to automatically generate alerts for abnormal metrics and trends detected within the environment.
• Robust Automation Controls - vOPS 4.5 brought the ability to more specifically control automation processes. For example, VMs can be grouped, and then these groups set with minimum and maximum resource amounts that automated rightsizing respects as sizing boundaries.
• New vSphere 5 Feature Support - vOPS 4 introduced compatability to vSphere 5. vOPS 4.5 takes this integration further with support for storage DRS and storage clusters, new HA methods and inclusion of data provided by the VASA storage interface.
• Enhanced Reporting - Aside from new performance issue count and resource utilization reports, all table columns can now be added or removed to create customized data tables for reporting. VMs can be tagged with applications running inside to filter VMs in reports based on an application level. Resource Graphs which display VM metric activity have been vastly improved. Additional reporting widgets are available to include in configurable dashboards. Reporting distribution for external stakeholders is now enhanced as these configurable dashboards can now be embedded in external systems via custom-generated URLs. Lastly, Resource Graphs can be embedded into a configurable dashboard.
• Deeper Operational Cost Analysis - The Virtualization Cost Index now calculates the base cost for operating a VM, and a corrected cost which adjusts for the density of VMs in the host that the VM is running on.
