What is Needed for Efficient Operations Management?
What is needed?
Quality of
Service
Reduce Mean Time to Incident (MTTI):
Visibility across Infrastructure and Applications
Proactive issue prevention
Quickly resolve business impacting issues
Operational
Efficiency
Reduce Capital and Operating Costs:
Optimize use of resources to prevent unnecessary purchases
Improve team efficiency and increase VI/admin ratios
Control &
Compliance
Adhere to IT policies and standards:
Compliance visibility to Operations
Enforce IT policies across assets and infrastructures

How VMware Enables Automated Cloud Operations
Intelligent Operations
• Patented analytics deliver insights and visibility
• Machine learning enables incident avoidance and resolution
Policy-based Automation
• Self-learning automation engine regulates and drives remediation
• Automated policy enforcement enables continuous compliance
Unified Management
• Converged management of Server, Storage, Network Infrastructure
• Integrate Performance, Capacity & Configuration Management Disciplines
• Consistent management of Heterogeneous Environments including Virtual,
Physical and Public Clouds

vCenter Operations Delivers Comprehensive Visibility
• Immediate
problems
• What is
happening
right now?
• What do I
need to pay
attention to?
Operations Efficiency and Risk
• Forward
Looking
• Are there
areas that I
should be
concerned
about?
• Am I utilizing
resources in
the most
efficient
manner?
• Are there
compliance
risks?

vCenter Operations for EMC: EMC Storage Analytics
Easily extend vC Ops analytics, capacity monitoring capabilities to other datacenter elements
ESA is built on vC Ops Enterprise Analytics and Visualization platform
ESA provides storage administrators with end to end storage visibility, storage topology,
block and file performance and capacity monitoring capabilities
For VI admins extends visibility into the storage layer, tying workload performance to storage
