VKernel has updated it’s Optimization Pack to version 2.1 supporting the VKernel Management Suite version 2.2 which was released last month.
The Optimization Pack is designed to control VM sprawl by finding and reclaiming over allocated and wasted resources in virtual environments. It tracks average and peak usage for all VMs while also seeking out abandoned resources.
New features in Optimization Pack 2.1 include:
- Visibility into Relational Database Management Systems (RDMS) for storage rightsizing calculations and wastefinding is now enabled
- Navigation through synchronized VMware vCenter folders
- Universal exclusion of datastore folders in Wastefinder
- Rightsizer splits into over/under provisioned reports
