How to Implement a Cost Visibility and Chargeback Process

Private clouds, the need to curb VM sprawl and the continuing requirement to maximize ROI for virtualized environments are causing organizations to take a second look at “Chargeback” or “showback” initiatives.

In this this webinar, hosted by VKernel’s Senior Systems Engineer Chris Chesley, will walk through an easy to understand, step-by-step approach for implementing Chargeback or showback for your organization.

This webinar will also provide a short demo of VKernel’s new Chargeback 2.0, which enables VMware admins to accurately map both VMware and Hyper-V virtualization costs against both applications and users.

How to Optimize your Virtual Environment

In about thirty minutes, we will cover how to optimize your virtual machines and environment so that you can:

- Make sure each VM is not over or under provisioned
- Get a handle on VM sprawl
- Identify wasted storage
- Make the most of the resources that you have
- Run more VMs on your existing hardware.
