Hyper9 officially launched the GA of Hyper9’s Virtualization Optimization Suite™ (VOS) today. It helps IT managers and administrators gain better business insights into their virtual environment — and helps stem the tide of “VM Sprawl”.

Hyper9’s VOS combines usability and dashboard features with in-depth analytics and reporting to help users find, reclaim and right-size virtual resources. The product provides cross-functional, user-specific views into the virtual infrastructure across myriad data sources, with key features and capabilities that include:
· Targeted Insights™ -- My Environment and At-a-Glance views into the virtual infrastructure, such as VMs, VCs, hosts, guests and clusters
· Hyper9 Active Links™ -- one-click access to data, reports and common tasks, such as “find VMs”, “run reports”, and “solve VM sprawl”
· Hyper9 VMDNA™ -- historical performance and configuration data, including visual comparison of VMs over time and to each other
· Workspaces™ -- to help user organize and share content, and gain visibility into VMs and their usage
· Visual Launch Pad™ and Tutorials – step-by-step guides and processes to solve virtualization challenges, such as VM sprawl
· My Content -- ability to build, save, organize and bookmark searches and reports for reuse
· Customized Searches – for drilling down into the virtual infrastructure, including pre-built filters that support further data segmentation
· Automated Monitoring and Alerting – proactively track changes, rogue VMs, VM sprawl and other key events
· Community Support – provides access to resources, answers and advice from virtualization industry experts
Lack of visibility into the virtual infrastructure, manual processes that circumvent best practices and standardization, multiple disconnected management tools and data sources, and undetected elements of VM sprawl – suspended VMs, orphaned files, redundant snapshots, and surplus software licenses — are all contributing factors to a growing state of ROI erosion.
