VMTurbo’s Disruptive Software-Driven Control Expands Across Storage and Fabric To Realize Full Value of Virtualization

VMTurbo Operations Manager Enables Customers to Realize 30%Improvement in Utilization while assuring application workload performance

BOSTON, MA – January 27, 2014 – VMTurbo, provider of the only Software-Driven Control for virtualized environments, today announced a new version of its flagship product, VMTurbo Operations Manager, enhanced with control modules for storage and fabric to drive virtualized environments to their desired state and maintain control in that state across the data center and IT stack.  These new solutions enable 30%  improvement in utilization while providing greater control over all aspects of the environment the application workload touches – from compute and storage to fabric and cloud. 

One of the major advancements in this release is management of the Converged Fabric layer with Cisco (CSCO) UCS support. Not only does VMTurbo provide unprecedented visibility into UCS from the fabric interconnect down to individual blades, it also enables control of UCS to manage real demand for UCS ports to maximize port utilization and avoid unnecessary port licensing costs.

“We’ve made a significant investment in UCS and are happy with it but it’s a challenge to manage,” said Jonathan Brown, Desktop Administrator at Beaufort Memorial Hospital (www.bmhsc.org). “VMTurbo is the only solution we’ve found on the market that helps us understand the inner workings of UCS so we can better manage it. We love VMTurbo, and are excited for all the new features to help us manage the future growth of our environment.”

VMTurbo is also disrupting enterprise software with its model of “easy to try, buy, deploy, and use”. Customers download VMTurbo Operations Manager and realize value instantly – unlike traditional management software which takes several months to install and perform after significant integration costs.  In fact, VMTurbo offers customers a free health check assessment of their virtual environments.  With VMTurbo, customers can break free from expensive, monitoring solutions that fail to eliminate reactive and labor-intensive IT fire fighting..  

“I learned more about my data center in 15 minutes with VMTurbo than I did in the last five years,” said Chuck Green, CIO of AlphaMaxx Healthcare, Inc., the premiere NCQA-accredited perinatal population health management firm.  “It’s truly a paradigm shift.”

90% of customers that have implemented VMTurbo’s Software-Driven control system to manage their virtualized data centers and cloud infrastructures report a return-on-investment of less than three months from purchase – an unparalleled breakthrough disrupting traditional enterprise management software (Source: TechValidate).

VMTurbo was recently recognized last week by Forbes as one of 2014 America’s Most Promising Companies.  Earlier in the year VMTurbo received the JP Morgan Hall of Innovation award, being named one of the most innovative technologies in the data center.

“VMTurbo’s technology is helping JPMorgan Chase optimize the utilization of virtual environments and thereby supporting a move from reactive to predictive workload management,” said George Sherman, Head of Compute Services at JPMorgan Chase. “Automation will enable our support teams to focus on higher value activity by preventing incidents and dynamically optimizing virtual environments.” 

VMTurbo Operations Manager

VMTurbo Operations Manager is the only product on the market understanding application workload performance, resource utilization and constraints in virtualized datacenter and cloud deployments to drive an organization’s environment to its desired state – that state of perpetual health where application performance is assured while maximizing efficiency – while providing control over all aspects of the environment the application workload touches, from compute and storage to fabric and cloud. While competitive solutions focus on viewing – monitoring systems to send alerts requiring operational staff to troubleshoot and remedy issues – VMTurbo Operations Manager ties the viewing with the doing, so IT Operations staff can elevate their focus from reactive to strategic.
