Vizioncore Ranger Pro 3.0/Charter 2.0 GA Release

Vizioncore has released new versions of a couple of their products... EsxRanger Pro 3.0 and EsxCharter 2.0. Both have all kinds of new features and functionality including support for VMware Infrastructure 3. I have not had a chance to play with EsxRanger yet, but have messed with EsxCharter.

If you have ESX in your network, you NEED to try this software out. It gives you a historical view of your Vi's performance and it also has the ability to alert you of any problems.

Installation is super easy. You just install it on a windows box and tell it the name and creds for your ESX boxes. There's nothing to install on your ESX hosts. It takes all of about five minutes to start using it.

EsxRanger Pro 3.0 has the following functionality:

Support for VMware Infrastructure 3
VirtualCenter, VMotion, VCB integration
Reporting for backup trends
No manual scripting needed
Send backups to Linux or Windows hosts
Policy-based intelligent rules engine, including VCB and VirtualCenter
GUI interface, including drive selection option
Full restore and file-level restore options
Differential backups
Archive retention policy
Significant compression options
No client needed on ESX Server

EsxCharter 2.0 has the following functionality:

"Top-down" views of entire virtual infrastructure
Support for VMware Infrastructure 3
Easily understand key performance metrics
Find bottlenecks in your ESX Server farm
Get "under the hood" type information presented in a Windows interface
Consolidated real-time views of your ESX Servers
