“The barriers between physical storage infrastructure and virtual environments have always caused issues for virtualization administrators tasked with capacity planning and troubleshooting, because visibility to physical storage beyond the virtual datastore has historically been very limited,” said Quest Software. But such is the case no longer, for Quest Software has now released vFoglight Storage, a monitoring solution that bridges the gap between physical storage and virtual infrastructures by providing performance and capacity monitoring of the physical storage. With its simple interface, users of vFoglight Storage can view end-to-end, virtual to physical mapping which gives them the ability to optimize storage paths, reorganize physical storage, and augment total storage capacity. vFoglight Storage also provides pre-set alarms and reports for making sure that problems are resolved and information is shared quickly and easily.
