The eG Monitor for VMware Infrastructures (the eG VM Monitor), part of the eG Enterprise Suite, is a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing all aspects of virtual hosts and guests, whether the infrastructure is used to support server or desktop applications.

In May 2008, eG announced support for VMware ESX 3i and Solaris Containers. Later in the year, eG Enterprise will support the Citrix XenServer platform, and subsequently Microsoft, IBM and others as part of the company's commitment to being a supplier of management software for all popular virtualization platforms.

Coupled with the ability of the eG Enterprise Suite to monitor over 80 applications, including Citrix, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and others, the eG VM Monitor – with its patent-pending In-N-Out Monitoring technology -- provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for monitoring and managing the performance of virtual IT infrastructures.

The eG VM Monitor is a solution that offers an outside view of how the VMs are using a physical server, and an inside view of what is happening inside a VM, using a patent-pending In-N-Out monitoring technology. This technology offers key insights into the cause of performance problems in a virtual infrastructure.

Other differentiators include:

  • A single agent for monitoring the ESX server and all its VMs. The agent license is independent of the number of VMs on an ESX server or the hardware capabilities of the server (i.e., number of processors, sockets, etc.).
  • Support for agent-based and agentless monitoring of VMware infrastructures.
  • Auto-baselining of all the collected metrics so you can set up monitoring and alerting within days not weeks or months, and can know when you are seeing abnormal usage patterns.
  • Correlation of VM performance with ESX performance to identify bottlenecks.
  • Analyzing VM performance in the context of business services they support; this allows service performance problems to be correlated to issues in the virtual infrastructure and determine where the problem lies - i.e., is it the network? server? database? ESX server? VM? or the application?
  • In-depth monitoring and reporting of virtual desktop infrastructures, to track simultaneous user sessions, heavy users, user access patterns, application accesses and load balancing.
