VMware Tools

VMware Tools

Confio Software is the leading innovator of VMware tools to improve performance and service levels for business-critical databases running on virtual servers.

IgniteVM™ helps IT organizations remove the risk of moving databases from physical to virtual server environments. With IgniteVM, hidden performance bottlenecks are a thing of the past. It measures I/O and CPU/memory response time in the database and correlates it to the virtual server, so the DBA can see where the I/O and CPU bottlenecks really exist.

Unlike other VMware tools, IgniteVM takes advantage of the Ignite agentless architecture to monitor database instances, virtual hosts, and vCenter without installing any software on the monitored systems. It is the lightest, least-intrusive method of capturing combined database and server data.

IgniteVM: VMware Tools for Your Business

Standard database monitoring tools do not give real visibility into virtual machines. That could mean costly performance issues that DBAs are unable to track. IgniteVM is the only VMware monitoring tool that links database response performance with the multiple layers of the virtual server architecture. It shows the DBA team what the application response delays are and the contributing causes at the instance on both the virtual and physical levels.

Use IgniteVM to:

  • Give DBAs visibility to the host servers, without requiring access to vCenter or VMware
  • Keep DBAs aware of how dynamic VMware changes are affecting database availability
  • Build cooperation and information sharing between DBA and VMware administration groups
  • Accelerate the process of moving critical databases to VMware and achieving the benefits of virtualization

The Right VMware Tools for Your Database Environment

Virtual server resources can change rapidly without DBA knowledge. IgniteVM monitors Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, and DB2 databases to give DBAs visibility into the virtual server layer. Guarantee the success of your virtual environments by monitoring virtual server performance with IgniteVM.
