What a day. Two terrific new applications have been added to what CNET just called the “all-in-one” IT Management service.

Do you have a virtualization strategy and virtualized infrastructure? If so, you know how difficult it can be to monitor and manage even one virtual server, not to mention all of your virtual servers as they proliferate.

Paglo now tracks all of the host and VM configurations and delivers real-time resource monitoring and capacity analysis capabilities. Through trend analysis and detailed dashboards that display resource utilization trends, you can easily predict capacity bottlenecks. Paglo enables you to increase VM densities on existing hardware which reduces the need to purchase expensive server infrastructure.

You can also set up alerts to be notified when critical thresholds are met and directly integrate Paglo’s inventory management and search capabilities into VMware vCenter (VirtualCenter). This makes it easy to understand what OS and software is running on each VM without leaving the vCenter interface.

Another issue arises as your virtual infrastructure grows. Managing simple tasks like tracking the hosts and VMs becomes difficult, especially as others create new instances. Paglo’s universal search technology allows you to instantly answer the following questions:

• What host a VM is on
• What VMs are deployed on a given host
• The IP address of a VM
• What the VM is for an IP address
• What OS and software is deployed on your VMs

The Paglo Virtualization Monitoring application is included at no additional cost with the basic Paglo service for managing your entire IT infrastructure.

The benefits of using Paglo for your VMware virtual infrastructure include:

• A unified view of all distributed physical and virtual VMware machines and the ability to search and report on them
• Paglo integrated directly into the VMware VirtualCenter (Vcenter) client for instant querying and browsing of data from the virtualized environment
• The ability to search and analyze historical data about the VMs, including how their configuration compares to other instances and has changed over time
• Automated alerting based on customer-defined critical machine and process thresholds and any downtime
• Long-term collection and storage of historical server trend data for capacity planning and audit purposes with no capital investment
