A VM software management tool helps IT teams control and monitor virtual environments to optimize performance, resource allocation and security. It typically works with virtualization technologies such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and open source solutions to efficiently manage virtual servers, virtual networks and the underlying hypervisor.
PRTG monitors virtual servers and their performance metrics, helping you track resource usage such as CPU, memory, and disk. By integrating with hypervisors and virtualization management software, it provides real-time data for performance monitoring, optimization, and troubleshooting. This helps IT teams to detect vulnerabilities and keep high availability across their cloud infrastructure or on-premises systems.
Yes, PRTG plays a significant role in disaster recovery planning by continuously monitoring your virtual servers and networks for potential problems. It tracks system health, detects bottlenecks and makes sure that data replication processes are running smoothly. By identifying vulnerabilities early, PRTG helps you prepare for and respond to outages, ensuring uptime and fast recovery in critical situations.
PRTG is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows and Linux. This makes it a versatile monitoring tool that can adapt to diverse IT infrastructures. Whether you are using physical servers, virtual servers, or hybrid environments, PRTG ensures consistent monitoring and optimization across all platforms.
PRTG supports leading virtualization technologies like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Nutanix. It can connect to tools like vCenter and use APIs for deeper insights into your virtual infrastructure. This native integration enables IT teams to monitor live migrations, optimize resource allocation, and support scalability in growing environments.
Yes, PRTG is ideal for monitoring hybrid cloud setups and cloud infrastructure provided by AWS and other providers. It tracks resource utilization across both on-premises systems and cloud platforms, offering insights into consolidation and scalability.
