MB Tools · VIA
VIA is a technical assessment platform for VMware vSphere environments: agentless, offline, and deterministic. Built to give infrastructure teams the data they need before deciding, whether that decision is to leave, stay, or optimize.
VIA's core mission: to discover and analyze the complexity that accumulates, year after year, across an infrastructure and its applications, and make it visible and measurable before it dictates your costs, your risks, and your decisions.
Built by people who lived the problem.
VIA is developed by MB Conseil TI, an independent IT consulting firm specialized around VMware and its ecosystem. The same observation recurred on every engagement: no organization had a reliable, up-to-date picture of its own virtual estate.
The conviction behind the tool: data a team can defend to its leadership and its vendors, not hastily reconstructed estimates.

Deterministic and explicable.
Deterministic
Every rule, every score, every finding is calculated reproducibly: identical data always yields identical results.
Explicable
Every finding references its source: official documentation, lab validation, or assumed findings clearly marked. You can defend every line of the report to leadership and vendors.
Neutral
VIA's findings are based on data, not on partnerships or margins.
A report you can defend, line by line.
Every rule follows the same path before it appears in a report. That is what makes a finding defensible to leadership or a vendor.
Documented
Every rule starts from the vendor's official documentation and recurring field observations. Nothing is made up.
Lab-validated
The behavior is verified on a test bench before a rule is published. What is not confirmed does not become a finding.
Traced
Every finding carries its source. When a finding rests on an assumption rather than a source, it is clearly marked in the report.
Reviewed
Rules evolve with vSphere ecosystem versions, so the picture stays accurate over time.
A direct channel, clear commitments.
Direct support
Participants have a direct support channel and receive release notices and update guidance in the portal.
Vulnerability reporting
To report a vulnerability confidentially: security@mbtools.ca.
