ToutVirtual is committed at delivering a complete suite of system management and security management solutions that are "virtualization-aware" and are specifically designed to address emerging IT management challenges in all types of virtual infrastructure deployments.

ToutVirtual solutions are designed to maximize IT productivity levels through the use of virtualization automation. IT can use policy-based automation to get holistic visibility and control of their virtual infrastructure. IT can use virtualization-aware dashboard views to quickly identify, diagnose and resolve virtual system problems. Whether enterprises have standardized on one virtualization platform or have multiple virtual platforms (VMware, Xen, Microsoft, etc.) deployed, ToutVirtual provides a single-pane-of-glass to manage their virtual server operations.

ToutVirtual offers multiple products for managing your dynamic virtual infrastructures. These products are built for day-to-day use by IT staff and are designed to add efficiency in the process of managing virtual infrastructures. With ToutVirtual solutions, IT gains the benefit of repititive tasks automation, better service levels, reduced cost of managing virtual infrastructure and real time control for their virtualization environment.

ToutVirtual offers a 3 tiered product line.

VirtualIQ Pro software appliances are available for companies who are just starting out to evaluate virtualization technology. Currently, 4 appliances are available - packaged as a virtual machine on Microsoft, Novell, VMware and XenSource virtualization platform. These appliances will manage up to 10 physical CPU sockets and provide virtual machine management capabilities.

ToutVirtual’s SMB offering consists of 4 different products which can be used as needed. These are:

• VirtualIQ Pro for performance management and capacity planning
• ProvisionIQ for virtual machine life cycle management and self service portal
• AssetIQ for server room and data center visibility and control
• ShieldIQ for virtual appliance SLA and QoS management

For Enterprise customers, ToutVirtual offers VirtualIQ Enterprise Suite. This Suite contains all the four products mentioned above in a pre-packaged bundle. The Suite, with unique focus from each product, meets complete needs of Enterprise customers.

Virtual machines are gaining popularity and getting standardized in enterprise deployments because they make it possible to squeeze more out of less. Today, IT managers are looking for ways to leverage server virtualization platforms and to support multiple applications and operating systems on a single physical machine. Many are looking at increasing device utilization from 20 percent to 70 percent. Many have managed to consolidate 16 physical servers onto one physical server running on a virtualization platform.

Enterprises that have deployed virtualization platforms have already realized the initial cost savings with deferred hardware expenditures, server consolidation and a reduced need for power. They are now looking for ways to fully exploit the potential of virtualization platform. Broad use of virtualization leads to further cost savings within the enterprise.

As IT managers continue to deploy virtualization platforms in the enterprise, they are faced with new virtual machine management challenges. The same reasons to deploy virtualization - faster time to server provisioning, reduced cost of ownership - are now limiting the wide spread use of virtualization within the enterprise due to the lack of supporting management solutions. The burden of management falls on the IT staff. This only compounds the problem because only a limited number of IT staff have virtualization expertise.

Only through the use of new automated processes and new best practices methodologies for managing the virtual infrastructure can enterprises fully realize the potential of their virtual infrastructure platform.

In a dynamic virtual infrastructure, traditional passive, trap-based management solutions do not scale. VirtualIQ solutions are specifically developed for addressing next generation system management and security management solutions for enterprises deploying virtualization technology. All VirtualIQ solutions are powered by "ToutVirtual System Resource Broker™" (patent-pending) technology platform.

ToutVirtual offers unique solutions for global Enterprise, mid market and SMB customers. These solutions can be deployed along side of an existing management solution or can be used as a primary management solution.
