Windows Virtualization

Dealing with the Windows Virtualized Environment:

TDI's outside-in virtualized management handles the special challenges of the Windows Server environment. Some of the particular Windows requirements are:

• Delivering a "no footprint," agentless monitor working through the WMI interface enabling a query on the virtual machine to determine memory requirements, number of threads being used and determining what is being processed.
• Web client access to the guest system, thus delivering low bandwidth, off site remediation. The result is that customers do not need the full Windows client on the hosted computers. Thus they avoid the heavy payload across their networks.
• Access to the server through the EMS/SAC console for emergency management, consistent with Microsoft's published best practices.
• If the server becomes locked, enable a command line interface (CLI) to remediate the event. This results in a "closed loop" environment within WMI. Then take the crash dump and evaluate its cause.
• Access the guests, ESX Servers, Virtual Center instances and VMotion to allow off-site, low bandwidth management of the entire virtual environment.
• Manage both the virtual and the real, or physical, environment with the same application, in the same window.
• Automatic remediation of any problem events via action scripts.
• Deliver a complete logging solution for all the data feeds.
