VKernel was established in 2008, and has since gained an outstanding reputation for developing virtual appliances to assist with virtual systems management.
The vKernel suite of Virtual Appliances for Systems Management offers a complete range of virtualization management tools. Users can optimize infrastructure, safely increase virtual machine densities, optimize resource utilization and control and reduce VM sprawl.
As part of the vKernel VMware and VM Optimization Pack, users download vKernel Capacity Analyzer that performs a variety of tasks. The VM Capacity Analyzer monitors CPU and memory continuously, as well as disk storage and disk I/O utilization. This allows users to add additional VMs safely, reduce costs and increase VM performance.
VM Chargeback is a second part of vKernel’s Vmware and VM Optimization Pack. This provides users with the ability to see exactly who is using what resources and also see how much this usage actually costs.
The VM Wastefinder included in vKernel’s VMware and VM Optimization Pack is designed to free up existing resources. This tool can reclaim not only wasted storage, but memory and CPU resources, as well.
The VM Modeler included in the Pack offers users a means for simulating and validating changes or additions to their VM, while the VM Rightsizer enables users to fit additional VMs on a physical server while still ensuring optimum performance.
Finally, the VM Inventory vKernel includes in its VMware and VM Optimization Pack allows users to document VM inventory and manage sprawl. This tool also automates management as well as compliance reporting.
VKernel’s VMware and VM Optimization Pack is their suite of "plug and play" virtual appliances that allow consumers to improve VM performance, reduce costs and simplify the management of all virtual environments, regardless of size. Each tool included in the pack is designed to perform a specific, crucial and practical function, and as a whole, the Pack offers solutions to the most common problems experienced by virtual machine users today.
