ControlUp Announces ControlUp Console for VMware Cloud on AWS

ControlUp today announced ControlUp Console is available to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS. VMware Cloud on AWS brings together VMware’s enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software and elastic, bare-metal infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to give organizations consistent operating model and application mobility for private and public cloud. ControlUp delivers total visibility, Machine Learning assisted analytics and fast troubleshooting to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS.

With ControlUp, vSphere administrators can quickly spot application performance issues across multiple layers – from the hypervisors and datastores to connection servers and VMs, all the way to specific processes. Using real-time performance data, ITOps teams can quickly detect AND remediate the root cause of an issue, using the ControlUp console. ControlUp gives VMware administrators access to a rich set of contextual management actions that enable proactive troubleshooting of data-center related issues. Moreover, ControlUp seamlessly aggregates data for historical analysis and offers a plethora of out-of-the-box reports including HW virtual and physical resource consumption, topology flow, application activity, user action, user experience, system health and licensing.

"ControlUp’s long history in ITOps monitoring and troubleshooting, by leveraging VMware and AWS, makes us well-suited to ensure best user experience as well as fast root cause analysis for our mutual customers’ data center and cloud workloads," said Ricky Trigalo, VP of product management for ControlUp. "The validation of ControlUp on VMware Cloud on AWS allows customers to grow their on-premise cloud infrastructure on-demand with new vSphere-based cloud resources on AWS, managing, monitoring and remediating their local VMware infrastructure and the remote vSphere resources offered by AWS in a transparent fashion for end users."

"Probably the most cost effective monitoring tool I have ever purchased in my 30 years within the IT industry. Does what it says and for an incredible price. ControlUp is a no brainer."
