Foglight Resource Optimizer 5.7.1 - User Guide (for VMware Environments)

Get started with Foglight Resource Optimizer

This guide provides instructions and information about using Foglight™ Resource Optimizer to optimize CPU, memory, and network consumption, and project storage requirements in virtualized environments. This guide is intended for IT managers who want to monitor and optimize virtualized environments by using the waste-finding and right-sizing functionality that this product provides.
Virtual machines (VMs) are quickly becoming the industry standard in IT infrastructures. IT managers find themselves with hundreds, if not thousands of VMs or physical machine hosts in their infrastructures. VMs can be added quickly, making it necessary to plan for the addition of virtual machines to the physical machines that host them. This situation can be a challenge for administrators. IT managers lack the required tools to accurately optimize CPU, memory, and network consumption, or project storage requirements. Monitoring virtual machine environments with Foglight Resource Optimizer simplifies the optimization process, providing waste-finding and right-sizing functionality for virtualized environments.
This section introduces you to Foglight Resource Optimizer environment, and provides you with essential foundational information.
