In its VMware server environment, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts (HE&R) needed to get more proactive visibility into its resource utilization and allocations to plan for future growth.

Using the VKernel Capacity Analyzer and Chargeback virtual appliances, HE&R was able to continuously monitor shared CPU, memory, network, and storage, set proactive alerts, and learn exactly who is using what resources and how much it costs.

The Capacity Analyzer proactively and continuously monitors shared resource capacity utilization trends in VMware ESX environments across hosts, clusters, and resource pools to properly plan for growth, ensure optimal performance, and lower the costs per virtual machines.
