Veeam Software Releases Reporter 1.0 for VI3

The Russian based software provider, Veeam Software, is at it again. Having recently announced the release of their latest version of Veeam FastSCP 2.0, the company quickly followed it up with the release of their latest tool, Veeam Reporter for VMware Infrastructure 3.

For those organizations migrating to a virtual environment, this tool can become quite handy. Reporter is used to discover, document and create a visual representation of a VI3 environment. According to Veeam, the tool collects information about the VI3 environment, its components and configuration settings, and then provides a comprehensive visual report in the form of a Microsoft Visio diagram that can then be used for analysis and documentation.

Key functions of the Veeam Reporter include:

• Discover it - Veeam Reporter discovers essential components of VMware Infrastructure, their properties and relationships. Veeam Reporter works both with VirtualCenter and ESX Server.
  
• Document it - Veeam Reporter saves the collected data for printing as well as change management tracking.
  
• Visio it - Veeam Reporter is a professional tool for ESX administrators, system integrators and datacenter managers. It builds a detailed visual diagram based on the collected data and presents it as a Visio report.

Pricing for the new tool starts at $120 per CPU. You can also download a free trial of Veeam Reporter, here.
