VKernel -- World's first VMware certified virtual appliance for Capacity and Chargeback
Meter VMware ESX Server resources: Resource Pools, Clusters...generate Chargeback reports
Features
Like an electric meter in your home, VKernel meters VMware ESX Server resources and tells you how much and who is using your ESX Server resources (CPU, Storage, Memory, and Network) by resource pools, department, application, cluster, farm, etc. VKernel also generates invoices (chargeback) to bill your internal or external clients for the actual resources they use.
- Understand total resource consumption by groups of VMs that support business applications such EMail, CRM, folders, resource pools, and clusters.
- Generating Chargeback reports that are based on actual consumption of resources in your environment.
It does not require installation or extensive configuration. Simply import this appliance into one of you ESX Server systems and specify which ESX Server systems you want to report on. That´s it! Free Download available.
In this shared environment it is tough to figure out what departments and applications are using the shared resources (CPU, Memory, Storage, Network). It is even tougher to figure out how to chargeback for them to various internal departments and external clients. VKernel makes this easy.
See sample reports at http://www.vkernel.com/resourcecenter/samplereports/
Click and out come reports that show how much resource (CPU, Storage, RAM, and network) your VMs are consuming. A few more clicks and now you can understand resource consumption by critical business application such as email, CRM and other systems.
Once you associate clients with business applications by drag and drop operations you can get charge back reports that are based on actual resource consumption, not some artificially created chargeback numbers.
It is that easy. Download and try VKernel's virtual appliance today from www.vkernel.com
