VMware Visibility and License Compliance
Regain control of your VMware environment with Certero
Challenges
As with all vendors managing VMware comes with it own set of challenges
Poor Visibility
VCenter doesn’t always capture your full estate leaving gaps in your inventory.
License Compliance
VMware licensing compliance can be complex, such as licensing rules across different countries, its important to be in control and audit ready at all times.
Unsecured Environment
Poor visibility of your estate can open you up to security risks and make you a prime target for cyber-attacks
VM Sprawl
A lack of visibility leads to resources being under-utilized or forgotten, wasting your organizations resources.
Uninformed Business Decisions
Without knowing what you have and how you are using it, you are unable to make the right decisions for your business now and in the future.
