Virtual environments are a great way of effectively utilising available server resources. However, keeping track of server resources becomes increasingly challenging as the environment matures and becomes more complex over time. Having the right tools to monitor your virtual environment allows you to effectively track and adapt resources based on your needs, keeping response times low and your users happy.
