for Virtual Servers

Features and benefits

Features	Advantages	Benefits
Capacity Planning	Customers can right size their virtual environment, balance workloads, and optimize or increase the density of their virtual environments.	Improves utilization of the virtual environment. Improves availability by preventing resource contention
Dynamic thresholding	Customers can change monitoring thresholds dynamically. Dynamic thresholds can also provide customers with the ability to only be alerted when status changes from normal.	Helps to respond proactively to problems in the environment
Predictive trending	Advance warning when critical resources near capacity in dynamic virtualized environments	Just in time advanced notification to provision additional physical resources
Integrated physical and virtual resource monitoring	Monitoring of physical storage performance in the context of the data store and virtual machine	Out of the box integration between virtual and physical storage systems isolates problems faster
Multiple hypervisor support	Coverage for KVM, VMware, Citrix XenServer, Citrix XenApp. Additional hypervisor coverage for Hyper-V and PowerVM and z/VM is available in ITCAM for Microsoft Applications, ITM and OMEGAMON for z/VM respectively.	Broad platform coverage reduces labor and software costs of managing multiple hypervisors.
Scalability	ITM for Virtual Servers is designed to monitor very large environments	Reduces management infrastructure software, labor and hardware costs.
