Data Center VirtualizationCustomer success

“Foglight helped reduce MTTR by 75% by helping us find

and fix problems related to VMware faster – we had an

ROI in under three months!”

“We found 200 VMs at their memory limit, causing

performance issues for the application workloads.

Foglight reduced diagnostic time by a factor of 10!”

“If you’re going to make the investment to put most of your

architecture in a virtual environment, it is essential to make

an investment in a solution to manage it… that’s the

ability Foglight gives you. There’s really nothing else like it.”
