With an update to its Foglight for Virtualization software package, Dell can now help organizations rid their systems of resource-sucking zombie virtual machines.
“It’s so easy to create VMs. We have customers creating thousands and thousands of them. But what are the lifecycles of these VMs? In these larger environments, [administrators] don’t know if they are being used,” said John Maxwell, Dell vice president of product management.
Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition 7.0 will also support the latest versions of VMware’s virtualization products.
Dell plans to demonstrate the software’s new capabilities at the VMworld conference next week in San Francisco, along with a newly updated Foglight for Virtualization Standard Edition (which is a separate product entirely from the enterprise edition) and Foglight for Storage.
