USE CASES
Continuous Performance Optimization
Assure performance at minimal cost, driven by operational and business intent, with predictive analytics driving actions to automatically balance workloads and proactively avoid contention.
Automated Workload Balancing
Automatically and continuously balance workloads across hosts and clusters based on business and operational intent. Optimize workload balancing for cost savings, performance, software license management or densification. Continuously verify workload performance against defined intent, applying predictive analytics to project future requirements, and balance workloads automatically or schedule balancing in a convenient maintenance window.
Continuous and Automated workload placement throughout the VM lifecycle
Integrate vRealize Operations and vRealize Automation for initial placement and on-going placement to meet utilization and business intent.
Automated Host Based Placement, Driven by Business Intent
Create placement zones across hosts regardless of cluster boundaries to optimize placement and balancing of workloads based on software license enforcement, tiers and other tags. Apply business intent to VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and automate DRS management.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure Performance Optimization
Optimize performance of vSAN clusters through workload balancing that is resync, slack space and storage policy aware.
Predictive DRS
Avoid contention by combining predictive analytics from vRealize Operations with VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). Analyze and predict future demand or contention and proactively move workloads to avoid the issues.
Efficient Capacity Management and Planning
Reduce cost and risk with real-time, predictive capacity analytics correlated with cost analytics, delivering optimal densification and proactive planning and procurement.
Reclaim and Right-size
Reclaim overprovisioned capacity, right-size virtual machines and increase densification while honoring business and operational intent. Real-time predictive capacity analytics provide proactive alerting based on capacity usage and demand. They also deliver actionable recommendations that include reclamation, as well as compute and storage procurement options.
Correlate Business and Operational Insights
Combine capacity analytics with costing information to easily understand and track how operational efficiency and capacity management drive cost efficiency. Understand total cost of ownership and fine-grained savings opportunities to manage private cloud costs.
Capacity Planning
Use flexible capacity modeling to develop resourcing strategies and what-if scenarios across multiple clouds. Advanced capacity planning provides the ability to model best fit for new workloads, plan hardware procurement as well as plan migration to VMware Cloud on AWS or Amazon Web Services (AWS). Evaluate the cost of deploying workloads in a private cloud and compare that with the cost of other public cloud environments, such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Intelligent Remediation
Predict, prevent and troubleshoot faster with actionable insights correlating metrics and logs. Streamline and centralize IT operations with native SDDC integrations, federated views and a highly scalable and extensible platform.
Unified Operations
