Virtualization Administration

BalancePoint’s deep server virtualization analysis into performance and capacity planning helps you achieve maximum performance and optimization from your virtualized environment.  Instead of simple server statistics, BalancePoint delivers actionable analysis on the entire virtual and physical environment providing unique data center level statistics from the host, guest, and storage perspective.  These unique metrics provide guidance to optimize while you virtualize. 

Unlike standard ratios or “rules of thumb”, BalancePoint customers know exactly how much workload and how many VM’s they can put on a single ESX server without impacting performance.  Most BalancePoint users double their VM densities and still meet their SLAs. 

BalancePoint highlights the optimal layout for VMs within an infrastructure.  The product's performance map pinpoints where the contention spots and resource bottlenecks are located within the virtual and physical infrastructure.  Instead of making educated guesses about what VMs to move via DRS or other element management options, BalancePoint users have hard evidence to make the right decision the first time.

A leading online marketplace increased VM guest density from 15:1 to over 35:1 utilizing BalancePoint to see VM dependencies and storage configuration.  As a result, they have also achieved a higher density of VMDKs per data store.
