Free Real-time Monitoring Tool for VMWare ESX and ESXi

Veeam Software, award-winning provider of systems management tools for VMware ESX Server environments, today announced general availability of a new free tool for VMware professionals: Veeam Monitor Free Edition. This lightweight version of Veeam Monitor is designed to provide comprehensive real-time monitoring in ESX and ESXi environments, including VMware's free version of ESXi.

"Customers have been asking us for an inexpensive monitoring solution that supports free ESXi, and with the current worldwide economic situation, we thought that a basic real-time monitor available at no charge would be appreciated," said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam president and CEO. "Veeam FastSCP has been enthusiastically embraced by the virtualization community, and we hope this new free tool will be similar."

Veeam Monitor Free Edition is built from the ground up specifically for the virtual world, and uses an agentless approach (VMware API) to monitor system health and performance on both VMware ESX and ESXi. Customers can view real-time resource usage data for any virtual infrastructure object or collection of objects, as well as known infrastructure events, all on a single screen. This unified view of the virtual infrastructure improves administrator productivity vs. fragmented views of isolated hosts and guests.
