Foglight for Active Directory
Unlimited virtual possibilities with Foglight for Virtualization
Simplify your virtual Active Directory monitoring
Quickly find, diagnose and fix problems affecting your virtual Active Directory (AD) performance and related infrastructure. Foglight for AD works with both virtual and physical environments, and leverages logical and architectural representations to provide unparalleled insight into your virtual AD.
Easily identify and understand the causes of replication, performance and availability issues — problems that are compounded when your AD resides in a virtual or mixed environment. And with Foglight for Active Directory, you can produce reports that enable you to manage and monitor service levels from a business perspective – so you spend less time resolving performance bottlenecks and more time optimizing your AD infrastructure.
