I tried Xangati for ESX to find out why the tool was different from other virtual infrastructure performance-monitoring solutions. Here's what I found out. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    Deploying and configuring the Kaviza package is a breeze.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    Your vSphere infrastructure needs monitoring, and that's where vCenter Operations comes in. Let's take a look at how to work with it.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    VMware Lab's ThinApped vSphere client allows running the client without installing it. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    The typical IT gauges don't translate well for measuring virtualization efficiencies. You'll need to look at it from a different angle.

                    Dell today said it is investing $1 billion in cloud computing under a two-year plan to build out datacenters that will let customers subscribe to virtualized compute infrastructure and storage.

                    Microsoft's Free Hyper-V needs a GUI. In the meantime, a third-party provider has filled in the gap. 
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    VMware customers looking for openness in cloud solutions might see vSphere support in the forthcoming OpenStack Compute "Cactus" release as a opportunity.

                    Microsoft rolled out the final release-to-Web (RTW) version of its Windows Intune PC management and security service on Thursday, during the Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    There's browsing the Web, and then there's kinda browsing the Web with vSphere. Here's a tool that removes the "kinda" part.

                    Read the forgetful manual.
