NetIQ today announced that NetIQ AppManage for VMware was selected by the readers of Virtualization Review as the Readers' Choice Award winner in the virtual management and optimisation category.
Virtualization Review's Readers' Choice Awards enable virtualisation professionals to acknowledge the products used to address the daily challenges they face. This year marks the first annual survey, in which feedback was gathered on more than 125 products in 11 categories, ranging from application virtualisation and virtualisation security to standards and training.
Given the chance to select one of 27 products in the virtual management and optimisation category, 11.9% of 235 respondents selected NetIQ AppManager for VMware as their virtualisation management solution of choice.
According to Virtualization Review, “there's no real virtualisation without management. Because VMs are so easy to create, they can easily proliferate in the data centre, leaving administrators wondering what they have on their network. In addition, virtualisation adds another layer of complexity, making troubleshooting and lifecycle management more challenging than ever.”[1]
NetIQ AppManager for VMware enables organisations to monitor, manage and report on their entire VMware virtual infrastructure - including vCenter servers, host servers and virtual machines - from a single location. With a "360^0 view”, NetIQ AppManager for VMware provides administrators with the ability to:
* Visualise their entire enterprise's hybrid physical-virtual environment.
* Apply the same levels of control, escalation, reporting, and service level agreements across the physical-virtual infrastructure.
* Proactively address business-impacting issues with end-user experience data.
* Report across multiple hosts and vCenter servers, providing them with valuable, consolidated metrics easily consumed by various stakeholders.
"We are honoured that NetIQ AppManager for VMware was selected by the readers of Virtualization Review as the market's premium virtual management and optimisation solution, particularly as virtualisation is rapidly becoming the infrastructure standard in today's data centre,” said Criss Scruggs, senior manager of Product Marketing at NetIQ.
“Achieving this recognition among industry professionals illustrates the value that NetIQ AppManager for VMware provides to its customers with an end-to-end solution for monitoring, management, reporting and automation across the hybrid data centre.”
