Virtualization Optimization Suite

The VirtualIQ suite of products is designed to support virtual server room operations through three stages of virtualization - design, deploy, and deliver stages - helping users make correct decisions for virtualization optimization along the way. The suite of products allows users to compare how various virtualization platforms (ESX(i), Oracle VM, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, XenServer etc.) perform running different applications and then provides visibility and policy-based control for managing the resulting virtualized environment. VirtualIQ suite of products supports multiple virtualization platforms for an apple-to-apple comparison and provides all essential decision-making data in a single, integrated web console that is simple to install and use.

ToutVirtual’s VirtualIQ Suite provides IT managers with a multi-functional web console that can be used to perform day-to-day virtualization management tasks like: capacity planning, performance management, visibility and reporting, incident management, policy-based automation, workflow-based process automation and self-service virtual machine portal.
