This document discusses vSphere with Operations Management (VCOPS), which provides enhanced monitoring and management capabilities beyond vCenter Server alone. It describes the VCOPS architecture and components, requirements for installation, sizing guidelines, and differentiates VCOPS from vCenter Server. Key points covered include how VCOPS provides a holistic view of infrastructure health, risk, and efficiency through performance monitoring and capacity management. The benefits of VCOPS in optimizing capacity utilization, consolidation ratios, and hardware savings are also highlighted.

TODAY: vSphere with Operations Management

9. vSphere has transformed how companies
deploy and use IT
Agility. Efficiency. Resiliency.
• How much time before my current
capacity runs out?
• Which virtual machines are over-
provisioned?
• How can I identify emerging
performance issues before they
impact the business?
…but new customer challenges
arise

10. • Capacity planning – forecast capacity
shortfalls
• Optimize efficiency – reclaim resources
from over-provisioned VMs
• Improve performance – identify
emerging system issues faster
• Proven virtualization platform – provide
availability for your business applications
VMware vSphere
The proven compute virtualization platform
vSphere with Operations Management
• Reliable, battle-tested virtualization platform
• Performance monitoring and capacity management

15.  vCenter Server and ESX Requirements
vCenter Operations Manager is compatible with:
 System that serves as the target of data collection: VMware vCenter
Server 4.0 U2 or later n System running the vApp: VMware vCenter
Server 4.0 U2 or later
 Host running the vApp: ESX/ESXi 4.0 or higher

vCenter Server includes a service called VMware VirtualCenter
Management Webservices. vCenter Operations Manager requires
vCenter Server to run this service.
Supported browser - Internet Explorer 8.0 & 9.0 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6
and above

20. vSphere with Operations Management vs.
vCenter Server
vSphere vCenter Server vCenter Server
• vCenter Server collects real time
performance data from virtualized hosts
• vCenter Server stores the data in
vCenter database and also keeps a
historical roll up of data
vSphere with Operations Management
• Collects the metrics from vCenter Server
and provides a holistic view and deep
insights into the health, risk and
efficiency of IT infrastructure
