Solarwinds Blog: World of Visibility into Performance of Virtualized Applications
It’s not a new issue that we face in our jobs to deal with poorly performing applications running on virtual machines. We know it would be a problem if a virtualized application were to fail, for it to not be available during a critical business process, or for some key performance thresholds to dip.

Solarwinds Whitepaper: Microsoft Hyper-V vs. VMware vSphere: Understanding the Differences
For years, there has been a feature battle between VMware vSphere® and Microsoft Hyper-V®. In general, vSphere has won the feature battle, although Hyper-V is certainly no slouch; the product can hold its own. Although vSphere’s superiority remains largely in place today, the feature gap will ultimately shrink and Hyper-V will become a “good enough” solution for more and more organizations. In this paper, you will be introduced to key features in both products and be exposed to the feature deltas that may exist.

Solarwinds Whiteboard Blog: When More is Less
More friends, more money, more fun… “More” is generally considered a good thing. But there are plenty of times when “more” isn’t a good thing: more expensive, more difficult, more complex come to mind. The big hypervisor vendors have been focused on “more” in recent years. And in general this is good for consumers. More advanced storage capabilities – Cool! More powerful VMs – Nice! More advanced functionality – Good; even better if you actually use the functionality provided!

Hyper-V Storage Enhancements & What they Mean for Users - Part 1
Storage management will likely be the most important near-term consideration for organizations looking to invest in virtualization. The importance here is to select the correct storage methodology for the virtualization environment being built (there are more choices available today than there were five years ago), and to ensure that the correct management tools exist for managing both the storage infrastructure and the hosts and virtual machines utilizing those services. More to the point, the key is to not get locked into the wrong storage methodology.

Watch! On-Demand Webinar - E2E Visibility from Virtual Desktop to Data Center
Moving from a controlled desktop virtualization pilot into broader production can be tricky without having the right solutions in place. Adding and scaling the production environment with new users and new applications can also have a dramatic impact on system performance. Best practices dictate that desktop virtualization initiatives have end-to-end monitoring solutions in place right from the start which is the key to greater utilization and ROI from the VDI investment, not to mention preventing unplanned downtime. This webinar from experts at Liquidware Labs and SolarWinds will be moderated by VDI expert Doug Brown of DABCC and will walk through VDI monitoring strategies, best practices and use cases, including: Validation: that is creating a before/after picture of desktops to ensure that virtual desktops perform as well as physical desktops. Diagnostics: understanding where problems arise and getting to remediation quickly. Utilization: Being able to take full advantage of the capacity of your systems resources without negative impacts. Capacity Planning: Modeling changes to the environment and planning needed capacity well in advance of implementation.
