VMTurbo Deep Dive and Demonstration with Yuri Rabover
Today’s virtual environments are complex beyond human scale.
Face it. Today’s virtual environments have reached a new level of complexity and scale. You’re either drudging through dashboards and reports to figure out the fix for one alert or another—or, you’ve thrown money at the problem and you’re over-provisioned.
VMTurbo is the only solution that processes the infinitely complex interdependencies of resource management decisions for you.
It analyzes all placement, sizing, and capacity possibilities across your virtual environment. It then determines what decisions will drive your environment to its desired state—assuring application performance while maximizing the utilization of the environment.
Let the software do the work; you can start solving real problems.
