Xangati, a company specializing in infrastructure performance management solutions, announced two additions to its product portfolio.
The entire suite of virtualization management solutions including Xangati for ESX and the Xangati Management Dashboard or XMD have been enhanced with new capabilities. The second addition is a completely free Xangati for ESX that offers optimized functionality in a management tool.
According to company sources these additions and product enhancements fall in step with Xangati’s aggressive move to capture the market. It also provides a no-brainer mechanism for trial and offers a unified approach for administrators to manage their entire virtualized infrastructures, said Xangati sources.
Also Xangati is an infrastructure performance management solution which covers the full virtual infrastructure that provides insights for VMs, ESX hosts, storage, applications and end-user devices across both the physical and virtual infrastructure without the need for server or desktop agents.
The new product capabilities introduced in the second release of Xangati include entire virtual infrastructure presented in one pane of glass: servers, VMs, network, storage, applications, and end-users in the same dashboard without server/desktop agents.
It offers continuous scroll-bar views for Virtual Infrastructure or VI performance including vCenter “real-time” CPU, memory and disk statistics besides offering auto-thresholding, alerting and recording for response time metrics within the VI, VI-to-physical network, and VI-to-storage.
Also vCenter alerts trigger rich DVR recordings at VM and ESX host level, and the one-click Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI allows end-user initiated problem recordings. The partitioned, real-time VM visibility login for application and server owners helps obtain vCenter statistics, explained Xangati sources.
“A lack of knowledge about how application tiers interact with each other is a key stumbling block to the migration of line of business applications in virtualized environments,” said Alan Robin, CEO at Xangati, in a release. “A recent survey indicates 82 percent of VI administrators don’t have confidence in existing tools to manage application performance. By providing a comprehensive framework for all of the infrastructure components, Xangati gives insight into communications between the layers of a multi-tier application – both before and after virtualization – giving businesses the assurance they need to extend their virtualization initiatives.”
Xangati supports visibility into VMware environments and also that of other heterogeneous virtualization environments including those driven by Citrix and Microsoft.
