Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for the SolarWinds DPA VM Option Add-on. This add-on is essential if you have a "Physical" DPA license but are monitoring a database on a Virtual Machine.
Renewing the VM Option keeps the link alive between your database performance and your hypervisor (VMware/Hyper-V). Without it, you lose visibility into "noisy neighbor" issues, CPU Ready time, and Memory Ballooning—critical metrics for virtualized databases.
Why Renew VM Option?
- Full Stack Visibility: Map query slowness directly to VM host issues (e.g., "Query is slow because the Host CPU is pegged").
- Resource Tuning: Know exactly how much vCPU and vRAM your database actually needs.
- Noisy Neighbors: Detect when other VMs on the same host are stealing resources from your database.
Why Buy From Softech.store?
- ✔ Authorized Distributor: We provide authentic renewals.
- ✔ License Consolidation: We can combine this add-on with your main license into a single "Virtualized" SKU for simpler management next year.

Trending FAQs: VM Option Renewal
Q: Do I need this if I bought the "Virtualized" DPA license?
A: No. If you own the "DPA for Virtualized Environments" bundle, the VM option is already included. This product is only for those who bought the "Physical" license + the "VM Option" add-on separately.
Q: Can I drop this if I moved back to physical hardware?
A: Yes. If you migrated the database to a bare-metal server, you no longer need the VM Option. You can simply renew the base DPA license.
Q: Does it work with Nutanix AHV?
A: While DPA focuses on VMware and Hyper-V, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager (VMAN) provides deeper Nutanix support. Contact us to discuss the best mix for your hypervisor.
