VKernel Releases SearchMyVM, Free 'Google-Like' Search Utility for VMware ESX Server Environments

"As dynamic virtual environments continue to rapidly grow in size and scope, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find even the most basic information," said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel. "Our SearchMyVM virtual appliance enables users to easily query and find the information they are looking for. By making it a free product, we can help IT administrators find information quicker as well as demonstrate how simple all of our virtual appliances are to use and deploy."

VKernel SearchMyVM instantly deploys exactly like each one of VKernel's virtual appliances. With a "Google-like" search interface, users can find their virtual machines, hosts, clusters, storage, resource pools, files, snapshots, VMware tools, applications and configuration information. Over 75 different types of attributes are fully indexed and available to customers for search.

About VKernel Products

The patent-pending VKernel suite of virtual appliances simply snaps into a VMware ESX server infrastructure, just as a user would add a virtual machine. All of VKernel's virtual appliances share a single, common database to avoid redundant network discoveries and auto-synchronize with VMware's VirtualCenter to continually update itself to changes in hosts, clusters, and resource pools in a truly dynamic environment.

With single-screen management dashboards, VKernel products instantly enable IT groups to solve critical pain points by providing visibility into the capacity and resource consumption (CPU, memory, storage, and network) of each virtual machine. VKernel currently offers a Cost Visibility/Chargeback Virtual Appliance for metering actual resource usage to show resource consumption by departments and how much it costs, as well as a Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer Virtual Appliance for identifying and resolving current and future capacity bottlenecks.
