Virtual Profiler empowers users to optimize the performance of their virtualized environments by providing visibility into the workload that the virtualized environment puts on a server and storage infrastructure. Administrators have a tool facilitating the allocation of key resources such as CPU cycles, memory, and input/output bandwidth to an individual VM, helping to prevent unforeseen bottlenecks in any of these areas. Without proper monitoring, users can't see when an array can't handle the load, such as too much throughput, or too much I/O. If the array goes down and has an issue on the SAN, every single virtual machine is going to be negatively affected and likely crash or get corrupted.
The visibility provided by Profiler gives administrators a set of tools to manage network performance. Virtual sprawl becomes a real risk when dynamically deploying VMs, and leads to capacity and resource allocation issues. Storage can "float" around as it's automatically moved from VM host to VM host, resulting in storage allocated to hosts that may no longer be in use, making planning and trending impossible. Profiler offers users a view into the behavior of virtual machines running in production so that VMs can be created, moved, or eliminated as needed in order to optimize performance, capacity, and better scaling of guests to hosts. |

Tek-Tools Virtual Profiler provides visibility into:
- Top-10 busiest VM guests (CPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc.)
- Under-utilized VM guests
- Busiest ESX hosts
- Under-utilized ESX hosts
- Wasted Storage: Start with VMDK files wasted space and end with under-utilized datastores
- File-age, user usage, duplicate files, forbidden files, etc. across All VM guests
