 Virtual machine costs/utilization
Virtual Machines, Virtualization Cost, Virtualization Cost Analysis, VMware ESX, XenServer
We are interested in being able to allocate costs for vm’s back to cost centers.  We use some vmware esx and xenserver in limited instances.  Are there any third party tools out there that can take usage data from both of these platforms to give us one consolidated view of utilization -  time and cpu.
