Vates & Easyvirt: a new alliance strengthening the Cloud technology ecosystem
Vates and Easyvirt are proud to announce a new collaboration aimed at enriching the cloud and virtualization landscape. By working on the compatibility between DC Scope and XCP-ng/Xen Orchestra, we're laying the groundwork for a more complete and intelligent infrastructure management solution, one that will soon be available to users of the Vates VMS platform.
This partnership is still in its early development phase, but the vision is clear: to create a powerful combination of visibility, control, planning, and sustainability—packaged in a turnkey, ready-to-go form.
Two key use cases for Vates users
Once fully integrated, DC Scope will unlock a new level of value for XCP-ng users. Its impact will be felt most clearly in two major areas: monitoring and troubleshooting, and capacity planning.
First, DC Scope gives infrastructure administrators a real-time window into their environment. It’s more than just dashboards : it’s a way to visualize activity, spot anomalies before they escalate, and set smart alerts on critical metrics like CPU, memory, and VM states. With actionable insights always at hand, teams can move from reactive firefighting to proactive infrastructure management, regaining control over performance and stability.
Second, when it comes to planning for the future, DC Scope acts like a trusted advisor. Its forecasting tools allow teams to simulate "what-if" scenarios, such as the impact of a server failure or a disk outage. Administrators can also right-size their infrastructure by identifying and reclaiming underused resources, ensuring that the environment is ready for new projects without unnecessary overprovisioning. Instead of guessing, planning becomes a deliberate, strategic process that helps align IT resources with real-world business needs.
Finding hidden opportunities
Beyond daily monitoring and planning, DC Scope continuously scans your environment to uncover concrete optimization opportunities. It highlights issues like virtual machines running without guest tools, idle or oversized VMs, and orphaned disks that are no longer in use. But it doesn’t stop at pointing out problems — it goes further by estimating the potential impact of addressing them, from reducing CO₂ emissions to cutting energy costs and avoiding unnecessary expenses.
This makes it far easier to prioritize optimizations based on their real-world effect, and to show both technical and sustainability benefits to stakeholders.
Driving sustainable IT practices
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for DC Scope — it’s built into the platform’s core. It helps organizations estimate the carbon footprint of servers, virtual machines, and services. It also provides tools to simulate infrastructure changes and measure their environmental impact before committing.
By eliminating wasteful resource usage, IT departments can directly contribute to corporate sustainability goals, helping companies become greener while also optimizing their infrastructure.
A strong alternative to VMware Aria
For organizations looking to move away from VMware, DC Scope offers a compelling, accessible alternative to VMware Aria. It brings comparable capabilities in forecasting, monitoring, and reporting — without the complexity, cost, or vendor lock-in.
Best of all, it’s delivered as a turnkey, agentless solution: simple to deploy (just one OVA), quick to configure, and built to deliver tangible results from day one.
A European collaboration with global ambition
This partnership between Vates and Easyvirt — two innovative French companies — shows that Europe can deliver modern, competitive, sovereign infrastructure solutions. In a market traditionally dominated by US vendors, the collaboration brings an open, technically robust, and operationally focused alternative to the table.
The work is progressing rapidly, and we’re excited to share more updates as we get closer to a public release.
Stay tuned—we’re just getting started!
