Up to 90 percent of the issues that occur in VMware environments have already been documented in VMware KB articles. Runecast compares your specific VMware environment against the VMware knowledge base and tells you which issues you are likely to run into. You can then follow the VMware KB to proactively fix the issue. Runecast is a licensed software product, but it has a fully functional 30-day free trial service that is easy to deploy. Runecast deploys on a virtual appliance, and downloading the software to receiving your results should take less than 15 minutes.
