Key features vFundamentals:

  • Packaged with the needs of small- and mid-sized businesses in mind, vFundamentals provides virtualization and systems administrators with a cost-effective and scalable solution with minimal customization. Additionally, it can be put into production quickly, enabling them to protect, manage, and optimize their growing VMware virtual environments.
  • One of the only backup products to achieve VMware Ready status for vSphere 5, vRanger Pro delivers highly optimized virtual data protection featuring a patented Active Block Mapping technology that reduces network payload and storage space requirements. Its parallel job execution and dynamic resource management capabilities enable users to scale with confidence.
  • VKernel’s vOps Server Standard Edition simplifies capacity planning by allowing users to visualize multiple capacity issues at a glance; calculate remaining available VM slots; forecast future resource requirements and reserve capacity for planned deployments; and predict future capacity bottlenecks.
  • For resource optimization, VKernel’s technology also collects information directly from VMware’s vCenter and analyzes thousands of data points across the entire virtual environment. This allows users to quickly and easily identify resource efficiency issues, make resource allocation recommendations, and safely, and automatically, resize virtual machines.

Pricing and Availability

vFundamentals will be sold through the channel for a price of $995.00 per CPU.
