Machine analytics firm Splunk has launched a new version of the Splunk App for VMware which it says provides accelerated operational visibility into virtualised environments.

The technology is said to give VMware customers proactive monitoring, comprehensive operational analytics and the ability to correlate VMware data with all other technology tiers beyond virtualisation, including applications, operating systems and hardware infrastructure.

"With more than 25 out-of-the-box reports, the Splunk App for VMware shines a light on the entire virtual infrastructure and enables administrators to quickly resolve issues and get deeper analytics about the health, security and capacity of their environments," said Leena Joshi, senior director of solutions marketing, Splunk.

The new offering is said to be auto-load-balanced, allowing for uninterrupted visibility into VMware environments.

"The Splunk App for VMware is key to our operations as it provides insight to the virtualisation data. We are now able to easily correlate problem VMs to application metrics," said Paris Georgallis, vice president of platform operations, RMS. "We love the granular visibility across all tiers of our virtualised infrastructure. With this new level of visibility, we are able to trend, baseline and analyze CPU, memory and disk consumption and forecast and plan for growth."
