Virtual Instruments Updated VirtualWisdom

Virtual Instruments, Inc. launched an update to its fourth-generation VirtualWisdom solution.

Following the introduction of version 4 of the VirtualWisdom platform in May, updates include enhanced discovery and analytic tools.

The VirtualWisdom4.1 features an applied analytics module and provides users with an dynamic user-interface, reporting and analytics tools. Its entity-centric user interface, which logically groups system-wide resources, physical devices or applications, has also been further developed.

With the goal of turning data into useful, usable answers, the company has further enhanced the platform with analytics capabilities based on insights gained from working directly with their portfolio of global enterprise clients when optimising their infrastructures. As a result VirtualWisdom4.1 enables infrastructure managers to address widespread performance management requirements such as workload balancing, event investigation and trend correlation, across the entire IT environment.

“The advanced applied analytics tools are able to execute tasks in just a fews, tasks which prior to VirtualWisdom4, would have taken hours or even days. The 4.1 module was developed to gain an explicit understanding of the relationships between entities within IT, from the hypervisor all the way to the storage tier, the associated metrics, and the context in which the data was measured. This means that VirtualWisdom4.1 is ideally placed to deliver meaningful recommendations in the unique context of a specific customer’s environment,” said Skip Bacon, CTO, Virtual Instruments.

For today’s virtualised and private cloud-based IT infrastructure, out-dated tools that only serve to provide a limited and imprecise understanding of the infrastructure, are not enough to guarantee availability, much less actually manage performance. Organisations require the ability to quickly get answers. VirtualWisdom provides IT decision-makers with an understanding of how the applications and infrastructure are performing together. Version 4.1 further enables IT managers to proactively balance the provisioning of applications on VMs for maximum application performance with the confidence that systems will not slow down or fail.
