Benefits to you

Insight Dynamics – VSE enables you to proactively deal with potential issues (such as performance, power and space constraints) before they become problems that impact your business
Manage system resource/power usage to avoid system overloads and outages. Analyze workload usage for shifting non-essential workloads to off-peak hours
Use the logical server capability of Insight Dynamics – VSE, and the fast provisioning it enables, to make recoveries and ward off problems
The logical server is essentially a server profile that is easily created and freely moved across physical and virtual machines. By detaching the logical identity from the physical resource, you can create or move logical servers on any suitable virtual or physical machine—on demand
Using the five-star rating system, you can see in real time the best fit for your logical server, then drag and drop it in the new location
Create logical server templates for your business applications with specific configurations that can be stored and re-activated when needed in minutes
Quickly evaluate different scenarios for consolidating older and underutilized physical servers onto virtual machines. Plan for efficient CPU, memory, I/O bandwidth, and power consolidations
Extend the life of your data center by quickly identifying and consolidating inefficient systems onto fewer, more power-efficient servers
