Hybrid cloud infrastructure management solutions provider 6fusion has announced the public beta version of its Cloud Resource Meter for VMware vSphere.
Cloud Resource Meter for VMware vSphere enables MSPs to meter resource consumption in any VMware vSphere 4.1 or 5.0 environment, providing insight into resource consumption — all for free and all right from the VMware Console.
Cloud Resource Meter for VMware vSphere product joins the existing family of products: Cloud Resource Meter for Windows and Cloud Resource Meter for Linux. It is now available for sign-up.
Using 6fusion’s Workload Allocation Cube technology with a connection to the UC6 Cloud Management Platform, Cloud Resource Meter provides a standard unit of measurement, enabling MSPs to meter resource consumption across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. This standardized approach to metering enables IT departments to improve ROI analysis, optimize resource consumption, build the business case to migrate to cloud, and/or improve IT distribution processes.
“Universal metering is foundational to any utility,” says 6fusion co-founder and CEO John Cowan. “Cloud Resource Meter for VMware vSphere allows any VMware user in the world to quantify their cloud requirements and determine the best location to run those workloads going forward.”
Cloud Resource Meter is available in two models: Free and Pro. Cloud Resource Meter Free provides the ability to meter and view the last 28 days of data directly in the vSphere interface or in the 6fusion UC6 Console. The Pro version provides the full capabilities of the tool, including unlimited metering, expanded reporting capabilities, technical support as well as the ability to access 6fusion’s enhanced analytics tools.
