The document presents an overview of the VMware vRealize Suite, focusing on its capabilities in managing software-defined data centers (SDDC). It highlights the importance of intelligent tools for automation, self-learning, and efficient resource reclamation while discussing various user scenarios and environment complexities. Additionally, it addresses the suite's integration with other VMware products and the potential cost savings from effective management.

33. Fuori Controllo
• Per gestire il SDDC occorrono strumenti “intelligenti”…
… altrimenti tutto potrebbe sfuggire al controllo
• Devono essere in grado di gestire un ambiente “liquido”
• Sarebbe magnifico se…
… imparassero da soli il comportamento dell’ecosistema
• “Self-Learning”

• Scenari “What-If”
• Agenti EPO (EndPointOperations)

53. vSphere counters: deep understanding required
Buy more RAM?
Here is a common example…..

54. Yes, buy
more RAM

55. What? It’s been high constantly for the last 24 hours! Better buy more RAM now.

56. vCenter Ops shows
a very different data.
Memory is only 32%.
Plenty of headroom.
No need to buy RAM
