This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 18, 2008 at 3:41 pmAkorri, Inc. announced that Autotrader.com, the
largest online auto classified marketplace, has selected Akorri’s BalancePoint
software to manage Autotrader.com’s virtual environment. BalancePoint
was chosen to help Autotrader.com gain insight across the entire
virtual infrastructure, and has enabled IT to proactively identify
performance bottlenecks and plan for growth and consolidation within
their virtual infrastructure.
“Akorri BalancePoint was the only solution we found in the market
that provides a view across the entire virtualization infrastructure,”
said Jason Cornell, manager of the Windows System Group at
Autotrader.com. “We found many tools that looked at one specific level,
whether it is the hosts, guests, or the storage, but Akorri’s
BalancePoint is the first to pull everything together in a meaningful
way. With BalancePoint we can now provide meaningful reports for
administrators up through to executive management and avoid performance
problems.”
“Autotrader.com heavily utilizes virtualization in production
throughout their IT infrastructure and needed to eliminate VM sprawl,
quickly troubleshoot issues, and plan for future growth. BalancePoint
helps by providing end to end visibility, identifying cross-domain
trouble spots, and quickly solving application performance problems,”
said Tom Joyce, CEO of Akorri.
