ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quest Software, a global systems management, data protection and security software provider, today announced the release of its newly rebranded and repackaged Foglight Evolve, formerly known as Foglight for Virtualization. Available today from the Quest Data Protection business, Foglight Evolve takes a holistic and proactive approach to hybrid cloud management. A built in automation engine simplifies complex data center management by giving IT teams the power to maximize performance, minimize downtime, right size resources and predict future outcomes across hybrid cloud environments with more accuracy. The new enhancements offer simple licensing options to give customers greater functionality at a fraction of the cost and empower organizations to take advantage of rich, single pane of glass monitoring to reclaim resources, defer costs and reduce the risks associated with cloud migration. Foglight Evolve will be showcased this week at VMworld, August 25-29, in San Francisco, California, at Quest booth #239.
According to a recent report from independent IT analyst firm DCIG, more companies than ever plan to go “all-in” on the cloud using platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure to host their applications. But as a company goes “all-in” on the cloud, it needs to re-examine some of its assumptions and processes as to how it will administer this new environment. In many instances, a company’s IT staff will find that it must manage a hybrid cloud environment for some time—perhaps even indefinitely.
Quest is addressing this need with the new Foglight Evolve and goes beyond simply enabling organizations to monitor and track each application’s usage of resources in the cloud. It spans both on-premises and cloud environments to provide companies with a holistic view into its applications, regardless of where they reside. IT teams gain a clear understanding of their hybrid environment usage pattern and can optimize resources with predictive analytics capabilities that reduce costs and allow organizations to plan for the future.
Foglight Evolve’s state-of-the-art product line introduces three new editions – that can work together or individually – and are designed specifically for the needs of customers. These include:
“Foglight Evolve takes a holistic, proactive approach to hybrid cloud management that makes it simple for businesses to realize the benefits of optimization recommendations through its built in automation engine,” said Mike Condy, Senior Product Manager, Quest Data Protection business. “With so much time wasted on monitoring multiple systems, Foglight Evolve simplifies data center complexity and allows customers to reclaim resources, defer costs and reduce the risks associated with cloud migration. To put it simply, it enables our customers to spend more time on innovation.”
Foglight Evolve is available immediately on Quest.com, in the Azure marketplace and through the Quest channel program. For more information, go here.
