VMware vCenter Operations: Centralized, Proactive Management

VMware vCenter Operations: Centralized, Proactive Management

VMware vCenter Operations functions within dynamic virtual and cloud environments to proactively ensure service levels, optimal resource utilization and configuration compliance. vCenter Operations features automated operations and infrastructure management as well as patented analytics, which work together to provide an integrated approach to performance, capacity and configuration management. With the help of vCenter operations, you will gain the intelligence and visibility required to:

• Get the necessary intelligence for automation of manual operations processes
• Resolve problems faster with high visibility across infrastructure and applications
• Takes action to ensure optimum resource usage and virtual/cloud infrastructure performance
• Increased visibility for operational and regulatory compliance across both the physical and virtual infrastructure.

Simplify, Automate, and Centralize Operations Management

The converged infrastructure of VMware vCenter Operations provide centralized management of features such as performance, capacity and configuration management. vCenter Operations also offers tool and processes that can effectively manage highly virtualized and private cloud environments, a major improvement versus traditional tools and processes designed for siloed, static physical infrastructures. Tightly integrated with VMware vSphere, VMware vCenter Operations is specifically designed for dynamic environments in order to simplify, automate, and centralize Operations Management. By utilizing patented analytics, vCenter Operations features high intelligence and visibility, which are necessary tools when ensuring service levels in both virtual and cloud environments.

Eliminate Manual Problems with Automated Operations Management

VMware vCenter Operations eliminates finger pointing and reduces time spent solving manual problems by means of an automated root cause analysis. Additionally, vCenter Operations analytics allows for maximum efficiency and agility, while its policy-based approach provides automation for such features as performance, capacity and configuration management.

Advanced Warning of Performance Issues within the Virtual Infrastructure

Get advanced notice of performance issues before they start to affect the end user and cause problems. Another way to preemptively pinpoint performance issues is through real-time performance dashboards that allow users to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Ensure Operational Compliance across the Physical and Virtual Infrastructure

Through ensuring policy control compliance across both virtual and physical aspects of your datacenter infrastructure, VMware vCenter Operations is able to automatically manage compliance using a policy-based approach as well as unconventional configuration templates.

Comprehensive Capacity Management

Some benefits that VMware vCenter Operations provides when compared to traditional management tools is its comprehensive capacity management, allowing users to achieve an increase of 15% to 80% of virtual/cloud infrastructure utilization. Additionally, vCenter Operations gives users the ability to recover over-provisioned, un-used capacity users, allowing them to run 3 to 5x more virtual machines (VMs) on the same hardware.
