GreenPages Pushes Virtual Desktop Infrastructure to Limit with 2,400 Desktop Images on Six ESX Servers; Veeam Successfully Monitors Vast Environment

Columbus, Ohio, October 1, 2009 – Veeam Software, award-winning provider of systems management tools for VMware virtual datacenter environments, proved the importance of building scalable products from the ground up for the virtual world when its monitoring solution successfully monitored a record-breaking 2,400 desktop images on six ESX servers during VMworld 2009.

Veeam Monitor, rapidly becoming the industry standard for VMware performance monitoring, capacity planning and troubleshooting, saved the day when GreenPages Technology Solutions, a national IT consulting and integration company, built a massive virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) demonstration on the show floor at VMworld 2009. Once GreenPages achieved its goal of provisioning 400 desktop images on each of six ESX servers, the massive implementation surpassed the capabilities of the monitoring tool in place. GreenPages asked Veeam Software to step in.

With no advance notice or planning, within 10 minutes, Veeam Monitor was installed, licensed and properly configured. It accurately reported the new desktop image count, and within the next 30 minutes, it showed the full input and output load, as well as statistics that the solid-state drive fiber-connected logical unit numbers (LUNs) provided to the system.

“Veeam Monitor has exceptional scalability and is now our preferred standard for VMware management software,” explained John Ross, GreenPages Chief Technology Officer. “It monitors extremely high density levels of virtual machines, yet it has a small footprint and is very easy to install. Customers don’t want to purchase additional hardware to monitor their systems, and they certainly don’t have to with Veeam Monitor.”

Ratmir Timashev, President and CEO of Veeam Software, said GreenPages amazed the VMworld audience with its cutting-edge system. “We were thrilled with the opportunity to prove our monitoring software could successfully capture data from a system being pushed to its breaking point,” he said. “Veeam Monitor’s scalability speaks for itself and is a solid example of why we build products from the ground up specifically for the virtual world.”
