Increase VM Density

Fit More VMs on Existing Servers

Industry statistics say that on average IT organizations deploy 4-7 Virtual Machines per CPU. With VKernel capacity management solutions you can get closer to 10 - 12.

Without automated tools like VKernel, you have to take your best guess at how much CPU, memory and storage a VM requires. Then you have to deploy it where you think we have the most capacity. Capacity Analyzer and Optimization Pack take the guess work out of VM placement and rightsizing.

Capacity Analyzer includes a Capacity Availability Map that

  • Automates the labor intensive process of computing available capacity
  • and Quickly shows you where to deploy new VMs

Optimization Pack contains a Capacity Rightsizer applet that

  • Continuously calculates required changes to provisioned VM capacity
  • and Gives you specific recommendations to improve performance or VM density.

Together these products enable to:

  • See exactly where you have available capacity to safely increase virtual machine (VM) densities to lower the cost per VM
  • Free up storage, memory and CPU resources wasted on unused ‘zombie’ VMs, templates and snapshots
  • Right-size VMs by adjusting storage, memory and CPU resources based on historical peak and average utilization
  • Get more out of your existing VMware infrastructure, so that you can delay unnecessary storage and server purchases
