vmSight announced the 3.5 release of its product suite. The Virtual Network Intelligence product suite allows customers to monitor, alert and report on application and user activity in virtual environments. The vmSight product suite includes VMware-certified virtual appliances for policy management and reporting and for monitoring.

vmSight Virtual Network Intelligence 3.5 adds the following key capabilities:

• Application Performance Management
• VM Sprawl Control
• VDI Diagnostics

Other enhancements in the release include the ability to synchronize VM identities and groups from VMware VirtualCenter, along with the previously supported ability to synchronize user identities and groups from Active Directory (AD) or LDAP. This allows customers to define service level policies and report by groups defined in VirtualCenter and in AD/LDAP. The 3.5 release also offers capabilities to define charge plans and generate bills based on usage of virtualized applications. The model allows billing for virtualized business services on a connection time or data transfer basis.

“We believe that virtualization is revolutionizing the data center,” said Jonathan Alexander, President and co-founder of vmSight. “It starts with cost savings, but ultimately it’s about IT adding even more value to businesses through increased flexibility and improved service levels. At vmSight, we help IT leaders maximize the benefits of virtualization to realize that vision.”
