If you're a part of an organization that has recently switched to virtualization, you're probably aware of the issue of virtual machine sprawl. Users have a tendency to create a large number of virtual machines for brief, temporary purposes and then leave them on the server, which ends up consuming a lot of power, disk space, and other physical resources, leaving the administrator with the job of dealing with actions and the overload on resources. Netwrix Virtual Machine Sprawl Tracker is a solution that comes with the promise of preventing virtual machine sprawl. With the help of this FREE tool, you can automatically detect inactive and unused virtual machines, which can effectively help keep your infrastructure running smoothly.

This tool also sends scheduled reports to administrators about inactive VMs based on their resource usage. By using these reports, data center administrators can easily determine which VMs are inactive and can be decommissioned to help regain wasted physical resources. Moreover, Netwrix Virtual Machine Sprawl Tracker comes equipped with a range of features and benefits. The tool monitors all the VMs within a virtual environment, and sends scheduled reports via email with a list of inactive virtual machines. The tool is highly configurable, with inactivity thresholds, virtual network and disk usage, inactivity time, and more.

The best part? Netwrix Virtual Machine Sprawl Tracker is highly compatible, supporting VMware Virtual Center. This product comes in two editions - the freeware edition and the commercial edition. If you're looking for more information on either of these editions, please contact Netwrix Corporation at www.netwrix.com.
