AliveVM™

Overview

Most companies are currently consolidating their servers (and the applications running on them) using VMware because the promised cost savings of server consolidation are so compelling. Of course, as any VMware administrator knows, keeping virtualized servers and applications performing as they did in the physical world is a complex, time-consuming and manual task. You're juggling Workload, Capacity and VM Density to achieve a healthy VMware environment to support the performance requirements of your applications, as well as to achieve the promised ROI. Existing VMware management solutions simply don't provide any automated way to  manage these elements of performance. 

AliveVM is the first and only solution that can automatically manage the performance of your VMware environment in real-time. AliveVM automatically connects to your vCenter instances without any agents required. With its unique combination of proven analytics and insightful visualizations, AliveVM helps the VMware administrator "run a tight ship" as well as provide the ROI required by the business. 

Problems and Challenges

• Lack of visibility into VMware Health, Workload and Capacity
• Inability to increase VM Density without affecting application performance
• Difficulty isolating VMware performance problems
• Lack of early warning before capacity is exceeded
• Inability to scale along with the expansion of VMware deployment
• Inability to automatically adapt to change 

The Solution

• Automatically calculates and presents Health/Workload/Capacity/Density in real time
• Automatically identifies building problems before application performance is affected with zero- or one-click to root cause 
• Automatically identifies and alerts on capacity issues before users and applications are impacted  
• Auto-Learning technologies automatically adapt to any change (manual or automatic)             

Solid, Proven Foundation

• Proven technology and product that works in production, managing some of the largest and most complex IT environments in the world. The AliveVM product shares the same foundation as the Alive for Enterprise product, and adds a VMware-specific UI layer, geared specifically for solving the problems that a VMware administrator faces.
• Scalable architecture that allows incremental scaling to extremely large environments (more than 100,000 VMs). The AliveVM solution can be deployed on a cloud environment and will automatically exploit the inherent elasticity that this environment provides.
• Patented Analytics that use non-parametric statistical algorithms to learn the behavior and the typical cycles of the VMware components (VM, ESX, Cluster, Data Center). These algorithms then enable AliveVM to automatically calculate Health, Capacity and Workload for any type of object in the VMware environment.

Summary

To effectively manage VMware, you need new approaches and technologies. Only AliveVM has the proven scalability, powerful visualizations and state-of-the-art analytics to give you the complete, real-time performance picture for your VMware environment. AliveVM is the only performance analytics solution that allows you to increase and sustain your ROI by making sure your VMware environment is healthy, optimally loaded and properly provisioned.
