VMTurbo Releases Cloud Operations Manager

New solution helps organizations achieve the agility promised by virtualization and cloud computing in large, complex and dynamic environments.

VMTurbo, a provider of software to analyze, optimize and control the virtualized data center, yesterday announced availability of the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager for multiple virtual center and cloud environments. Designed specifically to orchestrate across multiple layers of services and infrastructure, the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager helps organizations achieve the agility promised by virtualization and cloud computing in large, complex and dynamic environments. For managing multi-virtual center and cloud environments, the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager is being offered at USD 49 per socket per month or USD 9 per VM per month.

The company mentions that the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager is a workload management solution for cloud and virtualized environments and uses an economic scheduling engine to dynamically adjust resource allocation to meet business goals. This ensures that applications get the resources they need to operate reliably, while utilizing infrastructure and human resources in the most efficient way.

It avers that the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager is geared to manage multiple virtual centers, multiple hypervisors and provides multi-tenancy customer-scoped views. Features specific to the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager include:

Grouping support for standard groups (data centers, clusters, storage tiers, folders) as well as custom groups
Workload placement policies
Policy driven corrective action execution
Email/SNMP notifications
Workload service levels
Resource analysis settings
Storage configuration settings
Active directory support
REST/Perl API

"IT management is struggling to meet the challenges of managing multiple virtual center environments with yesterday's tools, which invariably are siloed by technology and function, stuck in the weeds of collecting too much detailed data, swamped by a myriad of point tools with little intelligence to automate decision making," said Shmuel Kliger, President and CEO of VMTurbo. "With the VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager, organizations can eliminate the multiple plagues of performance degradation, inefficiencies, waste and unscalable operations and ensure that they are utilizing the virtual environment as efficiently as possible."

6fusion, a provider of utility-metered public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructure management software and services, plans to integrate with VMTurbo Cloud Operations Manager to drive increased value for its internationally distributed network of data centers. "With VMTurbo and 6fusion combined, customers and partners are able to better manage virtualized infrastructure and do so more efficiently. Together we will significantly improve agility, scalability, and operational efficiency for cloud operators," said Rob Bissett, Vice President, Product Management, 6fusion.
