This document provides an overview of VMware cloud products, with an in-depth analysis of vRealize Operations (vROps). It describes the main components of the vCloud suite, including vSphere, vCenter Site Recovery Manager, vRealize Automation, and vRealize Business. vROps is highlighted as providing unified IT management across vSphere, Hyper-V, Amazon, and physical hardware through predictive analytics, smart alerts, and application-aware infrastructure monitoring. Log Insight is a smaller product for log storage and querying to support vROps.
VMware vCloud and vRealize Operations
- 1. VMware Cloud Products Survey of different VMware products vRealize Operations in-depth analysis Pedro Mendes da Silva Computer Scientist Linked-in: https://pt.linkedin.com/pub/pedro-mendes-da-silva/0/505/483 SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/PedroSilva404/
- 2. VMware vCloud Suite components ● VMware terminology can be confusing ○ this presentation tries to clarify some names and analyse vRealize Operations in-depth ● the vCloud suite includes almost all VMware products ○ Hypervisor: vSphere (ESXi + vCenter) ■ ESXi: Single-machine Hypervisor ■ vCenter: Handles multiple ESXi’s ● Handles vMotion, High Availalability, Load Balancing ○ vCenter Site Recovery Manager ■ Policy-based disaster recovery and testing for all virtualized applications
- 3. VMware vCloud Suite components ● vRealize ○ Includes 3 different components for managing a data center ■ vRealize Operations ● Unified IT Management ■ vRealize Automation ■ vRealize Business ● Log Insight ○ this is a smaller and cheaper product to help
- 4. vRealize Operations (vROps) ● “Intelligent IT Operations” ○ “identify and solve emerging issues with predictive analytics and smart alerts” ○ multi-cloud compatibility ■ across ● vSphere ● Hyper-V ● Amazon ● physical hardware ○
- 5. vRealize Operations (vROps) ● Unified IT Management ○ centralized management ■ application and infrastructure health can be monitored in a single place ■ Application-Aware Infrastructure Management ○ across applications, storage and network devices ■ applications can include multiple VMs ■ there are conectors for 3rd party products ● Microsoft, SAP, … ● there is an SDK for developing these
- 6. vRealize Operations (vROps) ● “Application-Aware Infrastructure Management” ○ insight into application-to-infrastructure dependencies ○ map your running compute, storage and network resources ○ detect variances from the norm ○ quickly identify root causes ○ view health, risk, and efficiency status at the group
- 7. vROps - Home Dashboard
- 9. vROps: Predictive Analytics, Dynamic Thresholds, and Smart Alerts ● Self-learning algorithms and predictive analytics ○ correlate monitoring data ○ intelligent alerts on underlying performance issues ○ clear recommendations for corrective action ○ dynamic thresholds adapt to your environment ○
- 10. vROps: advanced features ● Views: Health and Workload, Workload Details and Heat Maps ● Capacity Trending, Analysis and Right- Sizing ● Advanced Capacity Modeling with Capacity Planning and Project Management ○ “what-if” scenarios ○ capacity planning ○ projects
- 11. Log Insight: relation with vROps ● vROps is much more powerful ○ using data mining to correlate events and suggest actions ● Log Insight just ○ stores logs (in a structured format) ○ performs queries/aggregations over logs ○ show dashboards over queries ○ exports content packs/development tool ● vROps can drill-down to Log Insight to check detailed event data
