FireScope Virtualization Capabilities

As most organizations using virtualization are not, and have no plans to, virtualize their entire infrastructure, organizations need a way to monitor and manage their infrastructure that takes into account this hybrid architecture. This means integrating the unique aspects of virtualization, such as VM resource allocation and utilization, into the larger picture of IT Service performance.

In addition to its many other data collection capabilities, FireScope is able to connect directly to the Virtual Center via API access to provide real-time service-level visibility from server-to-user and every layer in between. No agents or additional software is required, simply provide FireScope with connection credentials to your Virtual Center or ESX Servers and you're ready to go. Try it yourself with a free trial.

Virtualization in the Context of the Business

FireScope goes beyond traditional monitoring of availability and performance, integrating technology metrics and events business metrics to provide visibility into how virtualization is impacting business objectives, bringing virtualization within the umbrella of Business Service Management. This enables IT leaders to develop and manage a cohesive strategy for Information Technology that leverages virtualization and other emerging technologies in such a way that they not only reduce costs, but can be utilized as a competitive business advantage. This comes without sacrificing visibility into the technology that network administrators, system administrators and other specialized technology workers need to ensure availability and react to the first signs of an incident, before the user is affected.

Embrace the Future

Virtualization, especially storage virtualization, is a diverse and constantly growing collection of technologies. It's not unheard of for an organization to utilize different types of storage solutions from multiple vendors. This is a trend that’s likely to expand in the foreseeable future. FireScope enables organizations in these situations to centralize their management into a single dashboard, regardless of the technologies being managed, and provides a framework for integrating new technologies as soon as they go online. This is due to FireScope extremely flexible data collection methods and expansion capabilities, designed to ensure there are no limits to the FireScope value.
