SolarWinds Adds Remediation Actions for Performance Issues in Virtualized Environments
"In today's application-centric business world, the virtualized layer of the IT infrastructure helps to facilitate the availability and scalability that businesses need," said Nikki Jennings, group vice president, products and markets, SolarWinds. "SolarWinds Virtualization Manager now plays an even more crucial role in helping businesses function at the speed of IT by enabling IT pros to take action from within their performance, capacity and sprawl dashboards to remediate problems in a few clicks, reduce hardware costs and enhance the performance of their virtual resources to support the IT infrastructure at all times."
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager now combines performance, configuration and hypervisor-specific alerts with related management actions in a single dashboard, enabling IT pros to remediate issues in as few as two clicks instead of utilizing multiple products to take action. Traditionally, any issues that triggered an alert would have to be manually fixed, but now IT pros can automate remediation with customized alert triggers to ensure the health of their virtual environment even when they are not in the office.
