Rolta AdvizeX and VMware customers have an opportunity to discover the truth about their IT infrastructure and use this information to increase efficiency and lower costs.
We can provide a better awareness of the vSphere environment and pinpoint issues that can affect your IT health, risk, and efficiency. How do we do this? It’s simple with Rolta AdvizeX and VMware’s vSphere Optimization Assessment (VOA) program. VOA is a 30 day trial of VMware’s vRealize Operations Manager that Rolta AdvizeX installs in your VMware vSphere virtual infrastructure. VOA collects performance, capacity and trending data for a month and creates a comprehensive report at the end of the trial.
Some benefits realized with VOA:
- The hard facts obtained will help you articulate to management when the current ESX cluster resources will run out based on current trending data detailed in the report.
- Discover the actual requirements for your virtual machines. VOA allows you to view which machines are over and under provisioned. In one example, a virtual machine was allocated 6TB of space and the report uncovered that it was only using 1TB of space; therefore, the storage space was reallocated back into the storage pools and used by other virtual machines. The end result, not purchasing additional storage because they already had the space they needed. This same data is available for CPU, RAM, and network utilization as well.
The vRealize Operations Manager reports identify the Health, Risk, and Efficiency of your IT infrastructure. A breakdown of each of these badges in the report view is below:
Environment Health
This badge identifies the immediate issues. These concerns are due to environment problems that need to be addressed right away. These acute issues can include sustained spikes in CPU or RAMutilization and errors being reported by vSphere.
Environment Risk
This badge identifies future issues. It identifies capacity issues and the overall health of the environment. The data here allows IT to plan for expansion before issues actually occur in your environment. This is the solid proof that the IT director can present to management about how many days, months or years it will be until ESX cluster resources are exhausted.
Environment Efficiency
This badge points out the optimization opportunities, in particular the over and under provisioning of virtual machines. It is very common for virtual machines to be overprovisioned based on business requirements that are gathered by their users. And it is a very time consuming process to check up on this after the fact. Without a tool like vRealize Operations Management, IT would have to look at each virtual machine individually. With vRealize Operations Manger, you can identify resources that can be reclaimed rather than purchasing additional ones that aren’t actually needed.
Rolta AdvizeX was handpicked by VMware to run these vSphere Optimization Assessments for VMware customers. We were chosen because we are a Premier VMware Partner, including NSX Elite Partner and VSAN Elite Partner status. We have a deep and rich experience with VMware products and can easily install and run the VOA trial assessment in your environment and help you to realize the full potential and reap the benefits of VMware’s vRealize Operation Manager. ▪
