“The spread of virtualization and cloud computing has added a new volatilityand dynamism to the IT stack,” says Gartner. “Oldstyle event correlation androotcause analysis technologies !ased on a structured, static understandingof topology relationships !etween IT infrastructure components fail to keep upwith the new dynamics.”

IT is still using fragmentedoperations management approaches that re"uire manual trou!leshooting.

#hen legacy tools are used to manage a predominantly virtual environment,they produce alert storms and false positives. $ecause operations teams haveno visi!ility into emerging capacity, performance, and compliance issues, it isimpossi!le to proactively address changing lineof!usiness re"uirements.

#ith v&ealize+ Operations+, *ware delivers intelligent operations management

across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures-from *ware v'phere to*icrosoft %yper, )mazon #e! 'ervices, and physical hardware. v&ealizeOperations correlates data from applications to storage in a uni(ed managementtool that is easy to use. It leverages policy!ased automation to increase ITe/ciency, and provides IT control over performance, capacity, and con(gurationwith predictive analytics driving proactive issue identi(cation and resolution.

v&ealize Operationscustomers reveal far higher a!ilities in pro!lem management, capacity planning,change management, application dependency mapping, multihypervisormanagement, and many other areas than those that have not deployedOperations *anagement.

?ey 0apa!ilities of v&ealize Operations

v&ealize Operations ena!les organizations to manage the health, risk, e/ciency,and compliance of dynamic workloads and heterogeneous infrastructure. Thesolution features three primary categories of capa!ilities that seamlessly workto simplify operations so IT teams can !e more proactive and e/cient.

Intelligent Operations

@redictive )nalytics and 'mart )lertsAeveraging selflearning analytics, dynamic thresholds, and automatedcorrelation of application and infrastructure performance, v&ealize Operationsena!les operational visi!ility and immediate identi(cation of emerging capacity,performance, and compliance issues. Bynamic thresholds automatically adapt toenvironments to provide fewer and more speci(c alerts of health degradations,



performance, !ottlenecks and capacity shortfalls.

)pplication Bependency *apping)pplicationawareness and dependency mapping simplify impact analysis tohelp IT teams more "uickly identify root cause or !uild recovery plans. Operationsteams get comprehensive visi!ility-from applications to host, virtual machines,and data stores to switch port and A:C levels-for faster trou!leshooting and

disaster recovery.

)pplicationto'torage isi!ility'torage analytics provide deep visi!ility into infrastructure topology, statistics,and events across host !us adapters, fa!ric, and arrays using standard protocols. The automated correlation of application and infrastructure performancetogether with selflearning analytics increases operational visi!ility and helpsIT "uickly identify any issues.

0apacity *odeling:sing “whatif” scenarios, operations teams can save and commit capacitymodels to the analytics engine to inDuence capacity calculations and alerts.91tending !eyond v'phere and across physical and applicationlevel metrics,including data from thirdparty management packs, capacity planning and

Thecompany re"uired a solution that would !e a!le to monitor virtualmachine performance and track changes made to the physical serverhosts as well as to virtual machine con(gurations. The most criticalre"uirement was for a selflearning intelligent solution that wouldcompare trending and normal operational swings with true deviationsor performance issues, and alert them correctly.

'olution The company selected v&ealize Operations to manage its large virtualizedinfrastructure. The enterprise architect stated that the real value is the

intelligence !ehind the monitoring that looks for anomalies to reveal areaswhere pro!lems are actually occurring.“I didnHt need or want hundreds of alarms going o; every day whensome threshold was crossed. That provides no value and we Eust ignore it.*ware v&ealize Operations has a learning algorithm and now we look atanomalies not Eust thresholds.”

The integration of performance, capacity, and compliance provided thea!ility to track changes made to servers and virtual machines and wascorrelated to the alerts from the v&ealize Operations dash!oard. Trou!leshooting and resolution !ecame easier and faster.
