If you’ve been watching the SolarWinds Product Blog lately, you’ll know that we’ve announced some changes to our Virtualization Manager and the SIEM tool Log & Event Manager (LEM) products.

Gartner analyst Richard Jones led a really insightful presentation today at VMworld 2012 talking about storage in virtual environments. He focused a lot on what he called “Server Hosted Virtual Desktops,” or SHVD (a.k.a.: virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), hosted virtual desktop (HVD), etc.), which, he rightly pointed…

We’ve been hearing “It’s the year of VDI!” for years. Yet, for a reasonably mature technology, VDI has never had the expected…
Hi All, We have well over 2000 VDI's and noticed a VDI will fail if thie C drive gets filled up. We have VMAN, SRM, SAM, NPM, NCM and NTA Does anyone know anyway we can get the disk information without monitoring the VDI through WMI.
