VMworld is right around the corner and creeping up quick.  Just as we are all getting used to the nice summer weather, weekend barbeques and black flies - it's time for the largest virtualization / cloud conference of the year.  So take a break from your summer, and take a moment to prepare yourself for this years event.

VMTurbo’s Software-Driven Control platform enables organizations to manage cloud and enterprise virtualization environments to assure application performance while maximizing infrastructure efficiency. VMTurbo’s patented market-based approach dynamically examines real-time performance characteristics, resource capacity, system constraints and service level priorities across the environment to determine, implement and adjust resource configurations and workload placement. It then applies economic principles of supply and demand to find the equilibrium point. This drives the necessary actions to bring the environment into balance — and keep it there as demands fluctuate— quickly, automatically, continuously and efficiently. The software allows enterprises to meet service levels and business goals, and is the only technology capable of closing the loop in IT operation by automating the decision-making process to maintain an environment in a healthy state.

HotLink Hybrid IT technologies are easy-to-implement solutions for deploying, administering and managing all of your hybrid on- and off-premise resources — using your existing VMware vCenter infrastructure. There is no prerequisite of any other management consoles, databases, connectors, directors, new templates, service catalogs or professional services — it's Express!
