VMware vCenter™ Operations Management Suite

• Operations Management Dashboard provides comprehensive views into health, risk and efficiency scores of your cloud infrastructure. Quickly drill down to see what’s causing current workload conditions, pinpoint potential problems in the future and identify areas with inefficient use of resources.

• Correlation of Performance and Change Events inside the guest operating system enable administrators to quickly understand and remediate performance issues arising from configuration changes. View screenshot
• Compliance Checking of vSphere Hosts allow administrators to maintain a compliant infrastructure and automated the hardening of vSphere hosts with pre-built security and compliance guidelines.

• Smart Alerts provide pro-active notifications of building health, performance and capacity issues in the environment. Automated root cause analysis identifies the offending metric across all layers of the infrastructure. View screenshot
• Capacity Planning, Reporting and Optimization views help administrators optimize VM density; identify areas of reclaimable waste and chronic capacity shortfalls. Configurable alerts notify of changing capacity conditions in production and non-production areas.
• Integrated Cost Metering and Reporting capabilities provide visibility into the financial value of consumed resources and enable administrators to optimize provisioned capacity for lowest cost without sacrificing performance.

Gain Comprehensive Visibility

Powerful visualization of performance, capacity and configuration issues and risks enable visibility into dynamic infrastructure and applications for rapid problem resolution.

• vCenter Operations Manager provides pre-built and configurable dashboards for real-time performance, capacity, and configuration management.
• Performance data is abstracted to Health, Risk and Efficiency measures that allow IT to efficiently identify building performance problems with less effort.
• Capacity analytics identify over-provisioned resources so they can be right-sized for most efficient use of virtualized resources. "What If" scenarios eliminate the need for spreadsheets, scripts and rules of thumb.
• Out of the box templates ensure continuous compliance with security best practices, hardening guidelines and regulatory requirements.
• Best-in-class scalability allow monitoring multiple sites, thousands of metrics and over hundred thousand VMs with a single deployment.
• Designed for vSphere and built for Cloud, vCenter Operations is the best solution for managing dynamic VMware environments. Hooks into 3 ^rdparty monitoring tools allow IT to leverage existing investments.

Eliminate Manual Processes with Intelligent Automation

Patented analytics provide actionable intelligence across the stack to automate manual processes for maximum efficiency and agility.

• Infrastructure and operations analytics eliminate time-consuming problem resolution processes through automated root cause analysis.
• Automated correlation of health, performance and change events at the infrastructure and guest OS-level help pinpoint lingering performance problems.
• Automated rollback and remediation of configuration changes allow administrators to enforce IT policies.
• Flexible capacity and cost reporting capabilities provide deep visibility into resource consumption trends
• Automated provisioning and configuration analysis detects unwanted changes and helps IT maintain continuous compliance with operational best practices and regulatory requirements.

Proactively Manage Operations

An integrated approach to automating operations allows IT to be more proactive and ensure optimal performance in the face of growing service level expectations and accelerating change

• Self-learning performance analytics and dynamic thresholds adapt to the environment to simplify operations management and eliminate false alerts
• Integrated smart alerts for health, performance and capacity degradation identify building performance problems before they affect end users.
• Advanced capacity analytics allow administrators to optimize VM density and identify capacity shortfalls before they affect end users.
• Real-time, integrated dashboards of performance, capacity and configuration change events enable a proactive management approach and help ensure SLAs are met.
• Policy-based configuration management assures compliance across all aspects of the datacenter infrastructure, virtual or physical.
