Orcaware type system monitoring for ESX 3.1 servers

We currently use Orcaware to monitor all of our Sun servers. I have looked into implementing Orca on our ESX 3.1 servers but I don't think I would get the information I want.

We use Orca so management has a friendly web interface to look at. It has also allowed me to justify purchasing new equipment.

Is there a tool or application which would allow us to create a web interface similar to Orca's? Something I can put a link to and allow management easy access to? I would also like it to store the historical data off the ESX server.

Will Virtualcenter do any of this? We have licenses for VC.

Thanks in advance.

The product you are talking about is called VirtualCenter, I do not know Orca but VC gives you all of what you mentioned above.

I am currently looking into Virtual Center, however I discovered that I am not licensed for it. Turns out VI3 Infrastructure only has the client not the server. VMWare should have a * next to the listing on the VI3 website...

Anyway, here is an example of what Orcaware looks like http://www.orcaware.com/orca/orca-example/

Thanks.
