Resource Management
The VMware performance monitoring dashboard displays the resource usage data in real-time, allowing you to remain updated about the hardware resources used and available at any moment.
In addition, you can see the data about past resource usage and distribution by VMware vSphere VMs, hosts and datastores in the logs.
Improved Load Distribution
Analyze the monitored data to detect resource bottlenecks and remove them by distributing VM loads between VMware hosts. Quickly identify underutilized or overutilized hosts to optimize capacity planning. With VMware Monitoring tools, you are better prepared to anticipate and counter hardware performance issues.
Custom Alerts and Notifications
Create alerts based on VMware host, VM and datastore metrics to detect suspicious activities and potential ransomware infections. Receive timely notifications to safeguard your infrastructure as quickly as possible.
