"For virtualization projects to move forward to the size and scope organizations ultimately desire, performance issues must continually be solved to provide a level of confidence that allows business critical application servers to be virtualized," said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel.

VKernel Corporation is now shipping its Capacity Analyzer 2.0 virtual appliance - available for download at http://www.vkernel.com. New features and functionality include Disk I/O statistics, a more intuitive user interface, and enhanced scalability to ensure the performance of VMware ESX environments.

Capacity Analyzer continuously and proactively monitors shared CPU, memory, and storage resource utilization trends in VMware ESX environments across hosts, clusters, and resource pools. By identifying current and future performance-impacting capacity bottlenecks, Capacity Analyzer provides the resource utilization data to plan and grow the virtual server infrastructure, ensures optimal service level agreements (SLAs), and lowers the cost per virtual machine to realize a faster return on investment (ROI).

Capacity Analyzer Functionality
VKernel's patent-pending Capacity Analyzer technology provides users with a single-screen dashboard view of their complete VMware environment and updates as additions and changes are made. From the Capacity Analyzer dashboard, users have the advanced analytics to monitor and manage shared resource capacity, allocation, and utilization.
