Analyst Viewpoint
“Over the last five years, the number of alerts annually generated by event and
performance systems has increased, on average, by 300% […] The next five
years will see a significant acceleration in that growth rate due to the
dynamic nature of new IT infrastructure”
“The spread of virtualization and cloud computing has added a new volatility
and dynamism to the IT stack. Old-style event correlation and root cause
analysis technologies based on a structured, static understanding of topology
relationships between IT infrastructure components fail to keep up with the
new dynamics.”
“IT operations teams that […] effectively adopt emerging IT operations
analytics technologies can achieve at least a 10% reduction in IT service
outage minutes.”

Editor's Notes
- #13 So let’s talk now about vCenter Operations Management SuiteThis slide highlights the key value proposition associated with vCenter Operations ManagementOur focus with VCOPs is to Deliver a self-healing, self-regulating cloud suite to reduce OPEX & CAPEX and improve SLAsWe do that by delivering a solution that is:<CLICK>Tightly integrated with the rest of the VMware vCloud Suite to manage the Software Defined Data Center<CLICK>Comprehensive capabilities that provide you the ability to manage heterogeneous cloud environments including virtual and physical – private, public and hybrid cloud environments based on both VMware and non VMware technologies<CLICK>And finally a rich set of automated capabilities that address the critical tasks associated with building and running cloud computing environments
- #16 VC Ops: highly automated and integrated analytics platform and ops console for hybrid cloud Capabilities available todayVisibility into multiple clouds (point out variants)Heat map showing health of VMs that comprise a service or pertain to a VDC – here a DB VM in an AWS cloud dashboard. Drill into performance issue and isolate potential root causes. vC Ops bubbles up metrics acting abnormally and overlays interrelated perf/cap/config Looks like Oracle is having memory issues. In Q4 we will have actionable recommendations on how to solve issue.
- #17 vC Ops can also govern compliance across multiple hybrid clouds IT can create dedicated policies and templates for internal guidelines or industry regulations for each cloud, and can collect data for OS instances from all clouds - key capability to gain and maintain visibility and control of hybrid cloud. Integrated perf/cap/config in context of building performance issue – in this case a registry change that you can right click to remediate (in context in VCM)Track and get detailed compliance reports against these policies – prioritized by severity of issues breached Prevents drift from central configuration management policies Enables rapid widespread analysis as compliance policy changes – understand what magnitude of impact you are facing across the hybrid cloud With one right-click you can enforce compliance centrally to remediate or exclude specific compliance rules not satisfied.Fine grained control: add exceptions, view history of changes, administer on a per machine basis, etc. Analyze and enforce quickly across many levels: from individual VMs to the entire managed heterogeneous IT infrastructure.

Awareness – specific and unique business context for each user request Multi-vendor Orch. - Coordinates multi-vendor technology; Enables best of breed solution Automation – Built-in automation provisions virtual, physical and cloud Dynamic cloud interface – Dynamically generated RESTful API gives programatic access/control Cloud Service Costing – Cost allocation and charge/show-back across infrastructure/storage/BU/etc. Intelligent Resource Mgmt – Discover and manage existing environment; provide resource efficiency across entire lifecycle
- #26 Transcript:\r\nthis as a reference for the future. The big news is that we're now offering a free version of vCenter Operation Manager Foundation. This free version is positioned below the vCenter Operation Standard Edition, but it provides an easy on-ramp for VI admins to get used to managing their vSphere hosts with vCenter Operations. It provides performance and health management capabilities for virtual infrastructure. And this is a free offering now available with all editions of the vSphere Suite, as well as Essentials and Essentials Plus kits. So all vSphere customers can now get free of charge this new feature that's part of vSphere. Now, the three editions that we're introducing for vCenter operations are called standard, advanced, and enterprise. In Standard Edition, we have performance and capacity management for vSphere, along with Operations Dashboards. In the advanced edition, we go beyond that and add additional capabilities that are really meant to manage a very large virtual or physical infrastructure, including capabilities for performance, capacity, configuration management, application discovery, monitoring, as well as cost metering and chargeback. Now, the Enterprise Edition goes above that and also gives customers who have a focus on managing operating systems and the applications on top of those operating systems with additional monitoring capabilities from Hyperic, as well as guest level change in config and patch management features. On the bottom of the screen, you can see a summary of the two ways you can purchase the vCenter Operations Management Suite. The primary mode should be to sell vSphere or a vCloud edition, Advanced Enterprise, that includes the Operations Manager Suite. But we also have a la carte pricing available for those customers who need to manage physical infrastructure, or who are just not ready yet for the vCloud Suite, and you can see the price points here below the screen. For existing customers of the vCenter Operation Suite, there are some very important entitlement path information that you need to be aware of, and I'll show you that in a little bit.\r\n\r\n
- #27 Transcript:\r\nthe suite-- Foundation, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise. Now from a licensing standpoint, with 5.6, we ship a single license key that can unlock all these products that are included in the suite. Now with vCenter Operations Manager, the license key will unlock the capabilities according to the edition map, as you can see here. For Hyperic and vCenter Configuration Manager, there are EULA restrictions that apply that restrict the functionality that's included in the product to the edition that the customer has purchased. So in the case of Hyperic, if you have purchased the vCenter Operations Advanced Edition, which is restricted to monitoring physical resources, then you're restricted to use the platforms plug-ins of the Hyperic product. If you have purchased the VC Ops Enterprise Edition, you're also able to use some of the more advanced server plug-ins for Microsoft, as well as Oracle databases. The same thing applies to vCenter Configuration Manager. It's one product, but their EULA restriction applies along the lines of the VC Ops Editions, but in Advanced Edition you're restricted to use vCenter Configuration Manager to manage virtual infrastructure change in [INAUDIBLE] management. And then as you move to the Enterprise Edition, you're also able to get OS and application level change config management. Regulatory compliance is sold as an add-on option to any of these editions. So let me explain the entitlement path for existing customers.\r\n\r\n
