A virtual machine in the cloud is an object that will be in any one of the following states, PowerOn, Halted, Created, Destroyed, Updated. Virtual Machine Life Cycle Management is set of processes that provide an interface to interact with these states of a virtual machine's life cycle, from creation to deletion. Along with this, VM Snapshot can also be taken which preserves the state and data of a virtual machine at a specific point of time thereby increasing the reliability
SDN
Software Defined Networking technology al lows management of network for dynamic configuration, programmatic provisioning and monitoring of networking infrastructure. eNlight 360° implements tools and technologies to abstract underlying networking infrastructure in a datacenter, providing a unified software defined networking layer, which enables easy and flexible management of networks, subnets, routers, switches and floatng IPs.
Multi-Hypervisor Support
Different hypervisor environments creates silos making it complex adding infrastructure management overhead. eNlight 360° provides a unified management interface which can manage VMware ESXi/vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft HyperV and KVM hypervisors from an single management console. This provides a single window solution to streamline infrastructure management and delivery.
Disk QoS
Disk Qos can be applied to new or existing virtual machines with eNlight 360°. Disk Qos manages storage performance efficiency. It improves service quality and handles disk I/O, preventing VMs from using too many disk operations and creating I/O bottlenecks. eNlight 360° currently offers Disk QoS in three levels: Gold, Platinum, and Silver.
Remote Console Access
This eNlight360° feature allows users to gain console access to a remote machine. It also allows users to initiate SSH and RDP sessions from portal itself. The best part about this feature is that the admin can grant console access to the device for required purpose without sharing the password.
Storage Service
Storage services is Virtual representation of Physical Storage, for flexibility of customised allocation/deallocation of storage capacity to VMs.eNlight provides the tools and technologies to abstract the underlying Storage infrastructure in an easy and standardized consumption model.
VM Backup
A backup copy of all virtual disk images and configuration information for a virtual machine is stored in a VM backup. A virtual machine backup allows for the complete restoration of a virtual machine. In order to provide data recovery, eNlight 360° creates a backup list for each VM and has API integration with Commvault and Veeam, depending on the backup tool configured.
