Capacity Planning

Capacity Planning

With vOPS Server Standard’s robust capacity planning support, you can easily:

  • Identify hosts and datastores that are running out of capacity
  • Predict performance problems
  • Reserve capacity for planned VM deployments and auto-deploy the VMs into reserved slots
  • Identify optimal VM placements and additional workload capacity
  • Predict hardware resource requirements

Resource Optimization

Resource Optimization

To optimize resources, vOPS Server Standard:

  • Identifies VMs and datastores that are using resources inefficiently
  • Recommends correct sizing for VM CPU, memory, and storage
  • Automates VM resizing for CPU and memory
  • Detects data file waste and resolves it automatically

Performance Monitoring

Performance Monitoring

vOPS Server Standard provides deep insight into environment performance to help you:

  • Visualize the health status of all VMs, hosts, and datastores
  • Identify VMs and hosts with performance issues
  • Diagnose and resolve VM performance issues
  • Detect accelerated growth and abnormal trends in VM performance metrics
  • Monitor datastore performance
  • Remediate performance issues automatically

Diagnose and Resolve VM Performance Issues

Diagnose and Resolve VM Performance Issues

vOPS uses analytics to determine the root cause of issues in an environment. When one problem triggers multiple Systems Center or vCenter alerts, vOPS tracks down the initial issue that caused other problems. It then displays only that virtual object, a description of the problem, the elapsed time during which the alarm has been active, and an actionable remediation step that will resolve the performance problem.

Visualize Health Status for all VMs, Hosts, and Datastores

Visualize Health Status for all VMs, Hosts, and Datastores

vOPS makes it easy to determine the health of virtual objects in your environment; it allows you to visually assess all VMs and hosts for performance issues across multiple data center sites and several hypervisors. Mousing over a VM or host quickly provides information about the issue that virtual object is facing. Double-click on any affected VM or host to see a drill-down report with additional detail.

Generate and Distribute Turn-Key Management Reports

Generate and Distribute Turn-Key Management Reports

vOPS Server Standard produces high-level reports on virtual environment operational data such as performance issue counts, resource usage, storage efficiency, and VM density. These reports are available on a customizable timeframe and can be configured to show different areas of infrastructure pertaining to different data centers, hypervisors, business units, applications, or any other grouping.

Configuration Management

Configuration Management

vOPS Server Standard provides robust configuration management capabilities:

  • Track and query changes in the virtualized environment
  • See the impact of environment changes on VM performance and capacity
  • Remediate issues from changes with automation
  • Assess configuration drift in VMs
  • Know instantly when key changes or configuration drifts occur
