What is VMware vCenter Operations?

VMware vCenter Operations is an automated operations management solution that provides integrated performance, capacity and configuration management for highly virtualized and cloud infrastructure. Deep VMware vSphere™ integration provides the most comprehensive management of VMware environments.

VMware vCenter Operations is available in three editions.

VMware vCenter Operations Standard is purpose-built for VMware administrators to more effectively manage the performance of their VMware environments as they move to the private cloud.

VMware vCenter Operations Advanced provides performance and capacity management for large virtual and private cloud infrastructure.

VMware vCenter Operations Enterprise is for IT operations teams to more proactively manage the performance, capacity, configuration and compliance of mission-critical applications and services and the hybrid (virtual and physical) infrastructures they run on.

Center Operations will be tightly integrated with VMware vSphere, understand its advanced infrastructure management functionality and able to collect data from its underlying physical components (servers, storage, network) as well as other management tools within the enterprise. It will then analyze the millions of data points these systems produce in real-time to get to the information that matters and visually present it in a simple, actionable way through dashboards. This means infrastructure and operations teams will have the intelligence they need to make fast, informed operational decisions in order to: 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 provides cross team views for real-time performance, capacity and configuration management.
• Performance data is abstracted to Health, Workload and Capacity Risk measures that allow IT to efficiently identify building performance problems with less effort.
• Out of the box templates to ensure continuous compliance with security best practices, hardening guidelines and regulatory requirements.

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.
• On-demand analytics allow optimization of the IT infrastructure without "Tribal Knowledge".
• Capacity analytics eliminate the need for spreadsheets, simple scripts and rules of thumb. "What If" capacity planning scenarios don't require time-consuming model updates.
• Capacity analytics allow identification of over-provisioned resources so they can be right-sized to make more efficient use of compute power.
• Automated provisioning and configuration analysis detects unwanted changes and helps IT maintain continuous compliance with operational best practices and regulatory.

Proactive Management

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 identify building performance problems before they affect end users.
• Identifies capacity shortfalls before they affect end users.
• Real-time, integrated dashboards of performance, capacity and configuration change events allow a proactive management approach and help ensure SLAs are met.
• Assures compliance with policy control across all aspects of the datacenter infrastructure, virtual or physical.
