Product name

vOperations Suite (vOPS)

Today’s businesses are increasingly embracing server virtualization technology, as reflected in the rapid increase in investment in this area. However, many users are experiencing difficulties with capacity planning and management of virtual environments. Often this results in poor ROI and poor performance for virtualized server and underutilized server capacity.
vOPS provides monitoring and planning functions that are all highly integrated to enable capacity and performance optimization of virtual environments.
 
In addition to comprehensive monitoring of resource usage, vOPS provides a display for warnings of current and predicted bottlenecks and suggests recommended actions for eliminating root causes, able to be implemented with a single click. These powerful features resolve performance issues and prevent problems before they occur.
vOPS also reduces operational loads, and therefore costs, on the virtual environment by determining the optimal configuration of future resource requirements in the virtual environment and identifying and reporting currently unused virtual machines and resources.
In this way, vOPS performs comprehensive capacity and performance management to optimize virtual environments.
 
As the primary distributor of VKernel products, Macnica Networks is excited to have this opportunity to offer vOPS to the increasing number of businesses using server virtualization technology.
