• Predictive recommendations – Actionable Intelligence allows for single-click remediation of active and predicted VM performance and resource allocation.
• Capacity planning – Predict CPU, memory, network, and storage needs for VMware, vSphere, and Microsoft Hyper-V. Run “what-if” modeling scenarios to predict resource usage.
• Active virtualization alerts – Active virtualization alerts are categorized as critical, serious, warning, and informational. Clicking an alert will show it in greater detail.

• Management dashboards – Monitor and fix performance issues unique to VMware, vSphere, and Microsoft Hyper-V. Performance, storage, and capacity planning dashboards allow you to fix issues quickly.
• Management actions – Remediate issues without having to log in to a hypervisor. Performance storage and host migrations, add/remove CPU and memory, and manage snapshots, all from a single location.
• VM sprawl control – Reclaim resources back into the virtual pool. Power off idle VMs, and delete powered-off VMs, orphaned VMDK files and snapshots to reclaim resources.

• Get started in minutes – Download, install, automatically discover your environment, and start monitoring in about an hour. No professional services required.
• Monitor across cloud environments – Provide end-to-end visibility and performance monitoring of your server and applications using both agent and agentless based technologies. Monitor across multiple data centers, remote locations, or cloud (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.)
• Identify the root cause of application problems – With the AppStack™ dashboard, you can quickly pinpoint the root cause of application issues within physical and virtual server environments. Identify where application issues originate in just a few seconds.

• Focus on your core applications – Get more in-depth application monitoring with AppInsight™ dashboards for Exchange, IIS, and SQL Server. Analyze performance metrics in detail, and solve complex application issues faster.
• Stay on top of your apps – Eliminate false positives with intelligent baseline alerting. Easily customize built-in alerts and reports as needed.
