36% of VMware admins say Storage I/0 is a problem

Todd Weiss wrote a great article on SearchServerVirtualization.com It sites a Virtualization Decisions 2009 survey which asked users to identify their server virtualization challenges. Not surprisingly to me backing up VMs and managing storage I/O made the top of the list As organizations scale their VMware environments both must be done with care. In our experience in working with customers to help them optimize their vmware environment we often come across both issues. Storage I/O bottleneck is very common as organizations add more VMs. Admins need tools to determine where the bottlenecks are and which VMs are causing it. The solution is often to move the offending VMs to another host or storage.

Hello Christian,
if you like pls post to Youtube a video in which you show the potentiality of your VKernel software: I will embed the video in a post to my blog.

it's not very polite using other people site writing comments to sell your products.
Regards
Manlio

However, CapacityIQ falls short in many of the things it promises to do... VM placement, right-sizing VM, reclaiming wasted/unused resources, current and future bottleneck identification and resolution. IT admins don't have a lot of time to search for these answers. VKernel's products simply provide answers and actionable information enabling IT admins to be more efficient and successful. We offer free trials of our software on www.vkernel.com. Try us and compare our products with CapacityIQ.
