Embotics, the Virtualization Automation and Control Company™, helps enterprises optimize manage and control virtual infrastructures effectively. Embotics’ award-winning V-Commander™ provides affordable, easy-to-use automation that immediately reduces administrative time, overspending, blind spots, incidents and complexity.

With over seven years of R&D, seven patents pending, numerous industry awards and hundreds of installation across the globe, Embotics is the undisputed market leader in easily deployed automation and control for the virtual datacenter. Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada with operations in Canada and the USA, Embotics focuses on providing affordable, easy to use automation and control that delivers immediate value through improving efficiencies and optimizing virtualization resources.

Virtualization management requires a great deal of manual intervention and process; compounded further by the constant search for information to facilitate troubleshooting and manually manage the environment. This manual mode of operation is not efficient and does not scale well as the environment grows; leading to overloaded administrators and inefficient operations. The affordable solution to this is the award winning V-Commander™

Not only does V-Commander discover, trace and track VMs across the entire enterprise… its out of the box sprawl detection immediately identifies resources that can be reused, while its decommissioning automation ensures that resources are optimized and tedious manual management tasks are taken care of automatically.

In addition, the comprehensive reporting systems allows the grouping, viewing and managing of virtual machines based on criteria such as business unit, department, location, server purpose, expiry date, administrator or service level agreement… Saving valuable time, placing real-time information at your fingertips, and extending the time before additional resources need to be added.

V-Commander is an affordable, easy to deploy virtualization automation and control system that reduces the ongoing cost of support while at the same time optimizing virtualization infrastructure resources. Using policy based controls, V-Commander automates tedious manual activities, freeing up administrators for more value-add activity. The unique combination of Insight, Control, Automation and Integration provides value right out of the box with no complicated installation, scripting or setup required. Customers experience immediate financial benefits and increased control.

Embotics V-Commander is used by IT admins, architects and managers to manage and control virtual machines throughout their lifecycle and prevent virtual sprawl from adding costs and risks to their virtual environments. V-Commander is an un-intrusive (no agents or drivers), web-based, centralized, policy driven, extensible management and control system for virtual machines that is fully integrated with Active Directory, SQL Server, SNMP, SMTP and virtualization tools such as VMware VirtualCenter, Lifecycle Manager and Platespin PowerConvert.

And as not every environment has the same requirements, V-Commander is available for purchase in a number of different modules:

• Module 1: Federated Inventory Management - Provides enterprise wide VM discovery and reporting engine that saves administration time, improves troubleshooting and planning, and provides cost visibility.
• Module 2: Resource and Cost Management - Adds advanced costing, sprawl detection and decommissioning to V-Commander-FIM; providing resource optimization, cost containment, improved cost accountability and dramatically reduced admin time.
• Module 3: Operational and Risk Management - Adds process automation, sprawl prevention, out of process identification, together with rogue and VM mobility controls; ensuring fewer incidents and audit findings while improving fiscal, operational and risk oversight.

Embotics V-Scout is a free tool built on the V-Commander platform providing visibility and understanding (i.e. insight) of the virtualization environment. V-Scout incorporates an extensive reporting platform and is used to automate and replace the tracking spreadsheets commonly used by IT administrators.
