VM Awareness
A repeating ask from XtremIO customers has been to integrate with vCenter and provide information regarding the Virtual Machines (VMs) that are stored on the XtremIO Cluster. Now with XtremIO being integrated with the CloudIQ platform, all CloudIQ features can easily be implemented for XtremIO.
Coming soon, XtremIO will display information on all of the VMs stored on the XtremIO Cluster. In addition, when selecting a specific Volume, CloudIQ will provide a list of all of the VMs that are stored on that particular Volume.
