Storage is clearly one of the corner-stones of virtualization, wether you are working with a low impact virtualization solution or high impact virtualization solution. Furthermore complexity is also one of the factors that has an influence. furthermore storage should be understood completely in order to maximise the investment and provide a high performance virtualization solution.
The staff at BytesAndSwitch has released its list with “newbies to watch”, on one there is VKernel on which we posted a while ago. Their flagship product “Chargaback Virtual Appliance” meters how much computing power and stroage the VMs use. full article here.

Imagine being able to instantly identify capacity bottlenecks on hosts, clusters and resources pools. Capacity bottlenecks, when not resolved, cause performance problems or even downtime. VKernel´s Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer Virtual Appliance immediately builds a list of current RAM, CPU, storage and network bottlenecks in a VMware infrastructure. It also predicts future capacity bottlenecks and alerts you when trends exceed customizable thresholds.
Free trial here, at present is unclear if the solution will also be available for XenServer or Hyper-V
