ToutVirtual announced the availability of VirtualIQ Pro 3 (VirtualIQ Pro). VirtualIQ Pro is a management and automation program designed to support customers in every stage of virtualization deployment. The range of features helps users from the planning phase to established virtual server rooms running hundreds of virtual machines (VMs). VirtualIQ Pro is available as a software solution, and as a quick-start for new users, ToutVirtual is offering a fully featured, free version of VirtualIQ Pro which supports up to 5 CPU sockets or 25 virtual machines.
VirtualIQ Pro, with a new user interface, provides server virtualization assessment, asset management, performance management, capacity management, and reporting capable of supporting Citrix, Microsoft, Oracle, VMware, and open-source Xen virtualization platforms.
Users face different challenges in each phase of their virtualization deployments - design, deploy, and deliver. VirtualIQ Pro reportedly provides an integrated console to optimize each of these scenarios.
VirtualIQ Pro 3 comes with the following new features:
Physical and virtual asset and inventory discovery - supporting both non-virtualized and virtualized physical server assets, virtual machine assets, and resource pools.
Single, integrated console - supports functions such as performance management, capacity planning, capacity maximization, capacity forecasting, and visibility reports.
Physical to virtual migration (P-to-V) analyzer - allows IT to discover virtualization server candidates, perform multiple "what-if" workload placement analysis for virtual machine (VM) density planning. Optional green IT analysis and forecasting for virtualization return-on-investment (ROI) analysis available.
Virtualization analytics - provides IT quick incident management to identify where resource contention or bottlenecks are within the dynamic virtual infrastructure. Supports Host-Host, Host-VM, Host-HostGroup, Inter-VM and Intra-VM resource dependency analysis.
Hypervisor-agnostic policy engine for virtualization automation - supports "crawl-walk-run" automation modes, event-triggered automation, and time-triggered (scheduled) automation. New virtualization actions include (cold migration), move VM and live VM migration.
Multiple hypervisor (Type-I and Type-II) for heterogeneous support of the market's top virtualization platforms.
Secure virtualization with role-based access - allows IT departments to define different user roles within the web portal and to customize rights. Supports multiple roles, multiple authentication models: stand-alone, Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
