So what’s up with Integrien?

In the last part of the VMworld 2010 keynote VMware’s CEO Paul Maritz was referring to a new kid on the block called Integrien. It’s a relatively small company but they got some awesome products. Integrien recently launched a new product called AliveVM. I’ve managed to capture some screenshots and a brief description but it isn’t available for download anymore. The website says: VMware has acquired Integrien. The purchasing of this product is temporarily suspended, until further notice.

AliveVM is a revolution in real-time performance management for VMware administrators, built on the industry leading, enterprise-class Integrien Alive platform. AliveVM fills the existing gap for automated performance management for VMware administrators with sophisticated learning-based analytics and an elegant and easy-to-use web-based interface. With AliveVM, VM Administrators are no longer forced to rely on classic monitoring tools and techniques that provide limited insight into the performance of their virtual infrastructure. With the introduction of AliveVM, they are provided with detailed behavioral analysis of the entire virtual environment. AliveVM also provides a real-time summary of performance Health, Workload usage, and Capacity forecasts for each and every virtual element (e.g., Virtual Machines, ESX Servers, Clusters, Storage LUNs and Network elements). Whether your virtual environment spans 50 Virtual Machines or 50,000, AliveVM will vastly simplify your performance management and virtual infrastructure optimization.


At this moment the product is being re-branded and the interface is undergoing some design changes as well, VMware will probably re-launch AliveVM in the first quarter of 2011.
