With over 7 patents pending, Embotics™ V-Commander™ helps you:

  • Extend your existing physical management processes by uniquely identifying and tracking every virtual machine in the infrastructure, whether they're on, off or distributed across Virtual Centers. The Embotics VM ID is universally unique and immutable, without the need for drivers or agents.
  • Understand your live virtual infrastructure by automatically tracking VM relationships. The Embotics VM Genealogy extends the Embotics VM ID with lineage and history.
  • Organize your virtual infrastructure. The Embotics VM Zoning creates custom virtual machine containment zones ensuring that virtual machine placement match needs and that corporate application policy is maintained.
  • Set your virtual infrastructure free to be as dynamic as it can be. The Embotics Policy Enforcer constantly monitors and automatically enforces the Embotics VM Zoning, expiration dates, out of process VMs, etc., ensuring that VMs are always running in accordance to your corporate policies throughout their lifecycle.
  • Communicate and report on the progress of your virtual infrastructure using out of box reports: population, growth trending, out-of-process trending, expiry forecast, or ad hoc queries, for example:
  • Understand the state of your virtual environment using the live dashboard.
  • Add custom attributes to any VM for enhanced reporting and tracking.
  • Integrate your existing management systems with V-Commander™.
