Virtualization is one of the key trends driving IT transformations today.
Estimates indicate that nearly one half of all enterprise applications will soon run on virtual machines. The value of virtualization is doing more with less, for instance, running more applications on fewer machines and improving performance by shifting “horsepower” to where it is needed. But virtual machines still need to be managed, monitored and maintained and that has a tremendous impact on your enterprise’s day to day IT operations.
The team managing your dynamic virtual and cloud infrastructure faces new challenges, including the scale of these virtual environments. With five to ten times more virtual machines than a typical physical environment, administrators will monitor an abundance of alerts that require immediate responses.
At AdvizeX, we recommend using VMware’s vCenter Operations Management Suite to oversee mature virtual environments and to automate and simplify management of virtual and blended virtual/fixed infrastructures. vCenter Operations Management Suite includes proactive smart alerts, customizable dashboards, system health monitoring, capacity planning, and policy configuration to help you manage your virtual IT environment with more efficiency.
VMware’s vCenter Operations Management Suite uses a new approach that delivers three elements that are essential to success: automation, integration, and comprehension. Patented self-learning analytics enable a much higher degree of automation.
The vCenter Operations Management Suite is delivered as an integrated suite with a consolidated approach to performance, capacity, and configuration management. The solution is built on an open and extensible operations platform and delivers a comprehensive set of management capabilities.
Technology alone doesn’t solve business problems, but the right technology can help people solve business problems faster. With vCenter Operations Management Suite your infrastructure and operations teams gain comprehensive visibility, intelligent automation, and proactive management, ensuring quality service as efficiently as possible.
How does vCenter Operations Management Suite work?
