As IT departments embrace virtualization to increase resource efficiency and availability, we as IT staff are crying out for better management tools to adopt this booming technology. If you're like me, you've seen remarkable success from your virtualization trials and want to further optimize those solutions.

Akorri BalancePoint is a virtualization management product that helps IT departments better understand how well their virtualized infrastructure is performing as a whole.

BalancePoint can be used to monitor both virtual and physical servers, which is definitely a plus as we're always trying to show return on investment to our superiors. In addition, BalancePoint is a Web-managed product that has loads of charts and features to maximize ROI.
