Quest Launches vFoglight Storage for Optimal Virtual Performance

Quest Software launched vFoglight^® Storage, a physical storage monitoring solution that enables administrators to optimize their virtual infrastructures by gaining greater control and visibility over the physical layer. By providing superior insight beyond the datastore, vFoglight Storage enables users to pinpoint performance, capacity and topology issues; meet SLAs; and achieve performance levels. Quest will formally unveil its virtualization strategy and roadmap Aug. 31, at an invitation-only event for media and analysts during VMworld. 

“vFoglight Storage provides many critical alerts to help me monitor my virtual infrastructure and its underlying physical storage fabric. It's very easy to quickly drill into a specific area to see performance and capacity-related metrics,” said Chad Warwick of CSS SOFTWARE. “vFoglight Storage has a simple and intuitive user interface, but, if you have questions, the help is there and it works great. The process to turn alerts on and off, and to edit them, is very simple. This is huge for me as I can now hand off the monitoring of our storage to people on my team without a lot of training.”Featuring an explorer-based interface, vFoglight Storage allows users to quickly view end-to-end mapping, from the virtual to physical layer, showing how virtual environments are configured at specific points in time. This extended view provides the information and insight necessary to optimize storage paths, reorganize physical storage and, where appropriate, look to augment total storage capacity.
