We Give You Insight

We go beyond traditional virtualization monitoring to identify and prevent risks, cut VMware costs, and prepare effective migrations that save money and solve problems year after year.

We create fewer surprises, better performance, and stronger ROI in your virtual resources.

Rest Easy with Reallocation Recommendations

Our proprietary capacity scores warn you when a resource is imbalanced and provide exact recommendations for rightsizing workloads for maximum cost-efficiency – an essential strategy for reducing VMware costs and implementing FinOps best practices.

Ruthlessly Eliminate Waste

Our cost optimization analytics recover hidden free space and “zombie VMDKs” so you can use more of what you already have. Combined with chargeback tools and cost analysis that calculates total waste and savings in your virtual architecture, you can both improve your costs and document them for management.

Maintain Excellent Performance

Prevent performance errors, wasted space, misconfigurations, and more with preventative health alerts and ServiceNow integration for immediate action.

Explore VMware Alternatives & Migrate Workloads

Compare your current workload costs now with expected costs on a different platform (like AWS). Our cost comparison calculator correlates your data with other providers’ rates to measure how much you’re wasting (or saving) with your current allocations and providers.

Ready to migrate? Our migration modeler makes it easy to visualize (and fix) the performance impacts of migrations before you migrate.

Why Should I Use Visual One Intelligence® in My Compute Environment?

Since Broadcom purchased VMware, customers have reported price increases of 300% or more…an unsustainable drain on IT budgets.

Visual One Intelligence® specializes in optimizing VMware environments, providing money-saving insights into resource waste, workload rightsizing, capacity planning, and migration that will “stop the bleeding.”

Read Example

If you’re paying for VMware Aria Operations (formerly vROps), you might feel like its depth and complexity make it impractical for cost-conscious teams who need more compute optimization with less time and less effort.

Moreover, relying on vROps for visibility means that any virtual workloads placed outside of VMware would require yet another monitoring tool.

Visual One Intelligence® provides robust yet simplified multi-vendor compute, storage, and cloud reporting that is compatible across VMware, Nutanix & beyond.

Compare vROps and Visual One

Choosing VMware alternatives sounds nice – until you realize how complicated these migrations can be.

But compute management is not all-or-nothing. Insulate your architecture against continued VMware price increases with migration planning and cost comparison tools that make it easy to start moving workloads to Nutanix, the cloud, or containers.

“Reducing waste and unused resources” is the biggest priority for cloud and hybrid FinOps professionals according to the FinOps Foundation.

As cloud investment grows, reducing overall costs is less likely than reducing unit costs. That’s where Visual One comes in, providing resources and insights from across your entire hybrid infrastructure designed to improve costs and operational efficiency.

Combat resource allocation issues, storage and security misconfigurations, VM sizing and snapshot concerns, backup and host errors, and more.

Our predictive monitoring gets you ahead of the game as you maintain and optimize a healthy virtualization environment.

Over half of organizations reported leaving money on the table in 2023 by overspending on infrastructure contracts when they could have leveraged volume-based discounts.

Without strong forecasting abilities, organizations are likely to continue ignoring opportunities for savings that are embedded in SLAs hidden provisioning inefficiencies.

That’s why Visual One Intelligence® provides intensive forecasting and capacity planning across compute and cloud environments, including adjustable and variable forecasting.

Compute Monitoring FAQs

Compute monitoring refers to the process of observing and managing the performance, utilization, and health of computing resources within an IT environment. These resources include servers, virtual machines, processors, memory, and other components that are essential for running applications and services.

Key aspects of compute monitoring include:

Resource Utilization: Tracking the usage of CPU, memory, disk, and network resources to ensure they are operating within optimal parameters.
Performance Metrics: Monitoring key performance indicators such as response time, throughput, and latency to ensure that systems are performing as expected.
Health Monitoring: Checking the status and health of compute resources to detect any issues or failures that could impact system performance.
Capacity Planning: Analyzing historical data to forecast future resource needs and ensure adequate capacity to handle growth and peak loads.
Alerting and Notifications: Setting up alerts to notify administrators of any anomalies, potential issues, or performance degradation so they can take proactive measures.

Compute monitoring is essential for maintaining the reliability, efficiency, and performance of IT infrastructure, ensuring that applications and services run smoothly and meet user expectations.

vROps is a great tool for skilled VMware admins and architects. However, its depth and
complexity make it impractical for broader teams who need visibility and optimization
with less time and less effort.

Moreover, the uncertainty surrounding Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware is causing hesitation among teams concerned about becoming too dependent on VMware. Besides concerns about increasing costs, relying on vROps for virtualization visibility means that any virtual workloads placed outside of VMware would require yet another monitoring tool.

Visual One Intelligence® provides robust yet simplified multi-vendor compute, storage,
and cloud reporting that is compatible across VMware, Nutanix & beyond and:

is simpler to use than vROps;
correlates seamlessly with the rest of your infrastructure;
optimizes your costs, asset ROI, and migration efforts;
promotes operational continuity;
uses a single frictionless pricing model.
