Hyper-V monitoring with PRTG

Increase the reliability of your Hyper-V virtual environment with PRTG

Hyper-V is a virtualization platform from Microsoft that enables users to create and manage virtual machines on Windows-based systems. It uses a hypervisor to manage both the Hyper-V server and virtual machines, which allows the VMs to run independently from the underlying hardware.

Virtualization in modern IT infrastructures: Many benefits, but also drabacks

Virtualization with solutions such as Microsoft Hyper-V has become increasingly important in modern IT infrastructures, as it allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. This not only improves resource utilization but also reduces costs while at the same time boosting the flexibility of your business.

Virtualization also comes with some drawbacks, however, such as a more complex IT environment and performance overhead due to an additional layer of software between the physical hardware and the virtual machines. Also, a critical error – whether of the network connection or the host itself – might affect several virtual servers at the same time.

Enhance your virtualization with comprehensive PRTG Hyper-V monitoring

It’s not a good idea to set up a virtualized environment without keeping an eye on CPU load, disk usage, performance, and network utilization of your VMs. Solutions for virtualization like Microsoft Hyper-V themselves usually offer only basic information about the status and performance of your virtual machines and the applications that run on them.

PRTG offers in-depth monitoring of all important data of your Hyper-V environment and arranges it into neat, customizable dashboards. Preconfigured Hyper-V sensors that you get out-of-the-box with every product license make setting up your Hyper-V monitoring very easy.
