Michael and Douglas discuss the VMTurbo virtualization management and data center control solution. Michael explains why they built it, how it works, why we should care, and much more! About VMTurbo VMTurbo was founded on the belief that IT operations management needs to be fundamentally changed to allow companies to unlock the full value of virtualized infrastructure/cloud services. Our charter is to transform IT operations from a complex, labor intensive, volatile process to one that¹s simple, automated and predictable‹delivering greater control in maintaining the ‘desired state’ and consistent service levels. Founded in 2009, VMTurbo offers a revolutionary control system that leverages virtualization¹s dynamic resource allocation abilities to meet business goals. Our solution ensures critical applications have the resources they require while maximizing utilization of the physical infrastructure‹and human‹resources. 4.5 Operations Manager Key Features: One-click resolution of performance bottlenecks Automatic resource allocation: optimize placement, rightsizing, and capacity decisions Eliminate the law of unintended consequences: verify the impact before executing changes Fastest time to value on market: deploy in 15 minutes, get recommendations in 30 What-if scenario planning: performance & capacity in one tool = superior accuracy Flatten your datacenter: remove unnecessary boundaries and move workloads between clusters without adding business risk For more information, visit http://www.vmturbo.com Download Free Full Featured Trial Download Free Virtual Health Monitor About Michael Berthiaume Michael is a systems engineer and consultant with more than 13 years of experience working in a corporate IT organization which has given him a solid understanding of the role of IT as part of an organization's primary mission. He has extensive systems, storage and networking knowledge with a focus on cloud computing and data center infrastructure technologies such as converged infrastructures and virtualization. Michael has experience in several key and emerging technology disciplines including hybrid and private cloud computing including the design and deployment of complex self service automation solutions, infrastructure virtualization, platform optimization and business continuity. Michael has held the roles of Solutions Engineer, Lead Technical Analyst, Senior Systems Analyst, and Applications Consultant, and has designed, implemented, and supported technology solutions in a variety of verticals including manufacturing, software, retail, healthcare and financial services. Michael discovered VMTurbo while working as a consultant and quickly recognized the technology as a “game changer” representing a paradigm shift in data center operations. He found that customers would constantly focus on 2 specific themes – improve performance in the environment and do more with less. VMTurbo solved both of these problems at the same time. In his role at VMTurbo, Michael is able to bring “real-world” use cases to life when demonstrating the technology to customers. He works closely with product engineering and his customers to seamlessly integrate VMTurbo into enterprise environments helping to enhance existing process.
