5nine Manager
Microsoft Cloud solutions provider for Azure and Hyper-V
5nine Manager is a program designed to create, monitor and manage Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. In addition to providing a convenient graphical shell for managing Windows Server and Microsoft Hyper-V, the program also includes hypervisor management tools. Management can be performed either locally or remotely (connection via RDP is supported). In addition, the program provides the ability to use agentless antivirus for virtual machines under the terms of a common license with 5nine Manager.
The manager is able to work with an unlimited number of machines based on Windows Server 2008 R2 and higher (Core and Free versions are supported). Built-in monitoring functions provide basic information about all operations in the system and collects basic data about its operation at the cluster, host and data center levels. To optimize the performance of individual virtual machines, 5nine Manager can automatically move them from one host to another. The migration will take into account system resource consumption and bandwidth utilization.
5nine Manager simplifies the creation, monitoring, and management of Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines.
Other useful features of the program include support of connection via FreeRDP protocol, possibility of setting up email notifications about performed operations and work with pass-through disks. 5nine Manager is not a free solution, so you can use it for only one month without purchasing a license.
