Why Use the NAKIVO VM Monitoring Tool

Simpler VM Sprawl Control

The ease of creating VMs and constantly changing IT environments can lead to VM sprawl. Administrators can find it more difficult to manage resource allocation, physical resources, networking and data protection. With Monitoring for VMware, you can gain complete visibility into hosts, VMs and datastores to help you reduce virtual machine sprawl.

Resource Management

The VMware performance monitoring dashboard displays the resource usage data in real-time, allowing you to remain updated about the hardware resources used and available at any moment.
In addition, you can see the data about past resource usage and distribution by VMware vSphere VMs, hosts and datastores in the logs.

Improved Load Distribution

Analyze the monitored data to detect resource bottlenecks and remove them by distributing VM loads between VMware hosts. Quickly identify underutilized or overutilized hosts to optimize capacity planning. With VMware Monitoring tools, you are better prepared to anticipate and counter hardware performance issues.

Custom Alerts and Notifications

Create alerts based on VMware host, VM and datastore metrics to detect suspicious activities and potential ransomware infections. Receive timely notifications to safeguard your infrastructure as quickly as possible.

Centralized VMware vSphere Infrastructure Monitoring

Monitoring for VMware is the virtualization infrastructure performance management tool from NAKIVO. Monitor the hardware resources available to your VMware vSphere environment. From the convenience of a single dashboard, check CPU, RAM and disk usage for VMware vSphere hosts and VMs, as well as disk usage of datastores.
