Virtualization Manager widgets can be embedded in external sources, such as a Microsoft® SharePoint® site, to provide other teams the necessary visibility into your virtual infrastructure without having to give them access to vCenter™ or Hyper-V orchestration or management tools.
Virtualization Manager widgets can also be incorporated into SolarWinds Application Performance Monitor and Network Performance Monitor to create one view of your applications, network, and virtualized infrastructure.
