Manage What Matters Now
FireScope Virtualization Capabilities
Managing today's complex virtualized infrastructure requires visibility that traditional monitoring and management solutions cannot provide. As a result, many organizations have been forced to consider purchasing yet another siloed point solution, just to manage their virtual infrastructure. Fortunately, there's a better way!
FireScope Unify delivers the same depth of visibility of virtualization-specialized point solutions, without skimping on the rest of your infrastructure. In addition to its many other data collection capabilities, FireScope is able to connect directly to the Virtual Center via API access to provide real-time service-level visibility from server-to-user and every layer in between. No agents or additional software is required, simply provide FireScope with connection credentials to your Virtual Center or ESX Servers and you're ready to go. Try it yourself with a free trial.
Embrace the Future
Virtualization, especially storage virtualization, is a diverse and constantly growing collection of technologies. It's not unheard of for an organization to utilize different types of storage solutions from multiple vendors. This is a trend that’s likely to expand in the foreseeable future. FireScope enables organizations in these situations to centralize their management into a single dashboard, regardless of the technologies being managed, and provides a framework for integrating new technologies as soon as they go online. This is due to FireScope extremely flexible data collection methods and expansion capabilities, designed to ensure there are no limits to the FireScope value.
