VKernel develops easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy virtual appliances for managing virtual server environments that quickly solve real world systems management challenges as organizations migrate to VMware virtual environments. Virtual appliances are pre-built, pre-configured, ready-to-run enterprise applications packaged with an operating system inside a virtual machine. VKernel Virtual Appliances enable IT groups to immediately solve critical pain points related to cost visibility, chargeback, and capacity bottlenecks by providing detailed insight into the capacity and resource consumption of each virtual machine.
