WHY UPGRADE

Assure Application Performance

Predict, Prevent, and Troubleshoot

Speed problem analysis with the Troubleshooting Workbench, which automatically finds and presents correlated evidence for your review. Gain insights on what is running in your SDDC with service discovery and application monitoring.

Run Infrastructure Like a Cloud Provider

Reclaim unused capacity, right-size virtual machines based on learned demand, and automate densification as you proactively plan procurement and cloud migration. Combine self-learning capacity analytics with costing information to easily understand and track how operational efficiency and capacity management drive cost efficiency.

Reduce Risk and Enforce Standards

With industry as well as VMware best practice benchmarks, identify and remediate configuration issues that could lead to downtime or security vulnerabilities. Extend compliance visibility to the hybrid cloud and HCI.
