VKernel Modeler Virtual Appliance To Be Previewed at VMworld

You're among the first to learn that VKernel will be previewing its newest virtual appliance called "Modeler". As you continue to virtualize your more important applications, making changes to your production environment can be quite dangerous. Change can lead to performance problems that can cause downtime -- disconnecting users and interrupting important business processes.
Modeler can help you validate proposed changes to your VMware environment to protect its integrity and mitigate the unintended consequences that change can produce. Modeler snapshots real world data from your VMware environment so that you can analyze, simulate, and safely validate proposed changes before you deploy them into your production environment. Examples of change include the following:

• Deploying New VMs
• Moving VMs
• Adding or Removing Hosts, Memory, Storage
• Creating and Resizing Resource Pools
• Creating and Resizing Clusters
• Changing Configurations in VMs, Hosts, Clusters, Resource Pools
