SOFS Server monitoring
A Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) server is a physical component required to begin building a virtual infrastructure. SOFS servers provide hypervisor-based architecture for controlling and managing resources for the virtual machines that run on it. Virtual machines running on an SOFS server share the server’s resources.
To review data collected about a specific SOFS server or all SOFS servers, make your selection in the Quick-View.
