It enables users to track VM distribution, analyze host capacity, and optimize workload allocation for improved infrastructure efficiency.    **What This Report Shows**  The report offers insights into VM density and host utilization. Key sections include:  - **Density**  Displays the total number of **hosts and guests** across the customer’s entire private cloud infrastructure, including VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix environments. This summary helps visualize overall scale and virtualization levels.   ![](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-06-5492-PM.png?width=670&height=315&name=image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-06-5492-PM.png) - **All Hosts**  Provides a comprehensive list of every host in the customer environment. Columns include **Host Name**, **Operating System**, **CPU Cores**, **RAM**, **VM Migration Status**, and **Guest Quantity**. - ![](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-25-1146-PM.png?width=670&height=340&name=image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-25-1146-PM.png) Users can **click the number under the "Guests" column** to drill down into the list of virtual machines running on that host. These lists are also **exportable** for further offline analysis.    Users can also click the **'Export'** button to download host and guest data for in-depth review.  ![](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-42-6370-PM.png?width=670&height=340&name=image-png-Aug-15-2025-03-50-42-6370-PM.png) **Key Metrics & Deriving Value**  This report helps customers optimize their private cloud infrastructure by offering:  - **VM Density Insights**  Helps assess the total number of hosts and guests, providing a snapshot of the overall virtualization footprint across all supported platforms. - **Host Resource Utilization**  Displays key resource metrics (CPU, RAM, OS) to identify underutilized or overburdened hosts. - **Migration Status Analysis**  Allows users to track which VMs are eligible for migration, ensuring better resource allocation. - **Guest Quantity per Host**  Enables IT teams to evaluate host efficiency and plan capacity accordingly. Clicking the **Guest Quantity** reveals a detailed list of virtual machines per host.  - **Export & Further Analysis Options**  Allows customers to export both host and guest data for deeper infrastructure analysis.   **Data Sources & Calculation Methodology**  The data in this report is sourced from hypervisor management tools, private cloud monitoring platforms, and infrastructure logs. Calculations are derived as follows:  - **Total VM and Host Count**  Aggregation of all VMs and hosts across VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix platforms. - **Host-Specific Metrics**  Extracted from hypervisor APIs, categorizing hosts by OS, CPU, RAM, and guest VM count. - **VM Migration Status**  Analyzed based on system resource utilization and predefined migration policies. - **Density Visualization**  Created using host and guest totals to represent virtualization levels.   **Conclusion**  This report equips customers with critical insights into VM density and host utilization. By leveraging these insights—along with interactive exploration and export capabilities—businesses can optimize resource allocation, improve workload distribution, and enhance overall private cloud performance for a more efficient and scalable infrastructure.      - [Getting Started](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Free Trial Onboarding](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#free-trial-onboarding) - [Start Your Subscription](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#start-your-subscription) - [Discovery Application Installation](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-application-installation) - [Discovery Appliance Setup](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-appliance-setup) - [Discovery Agent Deployment](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-agent-deployment) - [Insights Reports](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#main-content) - [IT Asset Management](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#it-asset-management) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#security) - [Cloud & Infrastructure](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#cloud-infrastructure) - [The Combine: User Guide](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#the-combine-user-guide) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Discovery: General Knowledge](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-general-knowledge) - [Discovery: Block 64 Application](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-block-64-application) - [Discovery: BlockBox Appliance](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-blockbox-appliance) - [Discovery: Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-discovery-agent) - [Insights Calculations](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#insights-calculations) - [Documentation](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Discovery: General Knowledge](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#discovery-general-knowledge) - [Privacy and Security](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#privacy-and-security) - [Block 64 API](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#block-64-api) - [Integrations](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#integrations) - [FAQs](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#security) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#new-features-updates) - [Combine](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [Remote Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#remote-discovery-agent) - [Combine API](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine-api) - [BlockBox Virtual Appliance](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#blockbox-virtual-appliance) [![Logomark - dark](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logomark%20-%20dark.png?width=60&height=96&name=Logomark%20-%20dark.png "Logomark - dark")](http://block64.com) 300 Geary Ave, Toronto, ON M6H 2C5, Canada +1 800-875-5260 [www.block64.com](https://www.block64.com/)
