vRealize Operations 6.4: Getting more done, faster

Cross Domain Collaboration Lower Mean Time To Resolution Optimize Resource Utilization
• Role-based Dashboards: management, Capacity, Storage, Network, Helpdesk Teams & VM Owners can share operational data
• Guided troubleshooting workflow with high resolution metrics and events correlated across the stack
• Faster resolution with alert grouping and business context awareness with vSphere VM Folders
• Predictive DRS boosts resource utilization by factoring in utilization trends from vR OPs into vSphere 6.5 DRS

Three Approaches to Avoiding ContentionOptimize Resource Utilization
• DRS & vR Ops– Balancing workloads
across hosts and clusters
– Mitigates risk– Attempts to prevent hot
spots– HUGE potential for
overhead – No guarantees
• DRS and vR Ops– Predict the future
demand– Minimal overhead– Only moves VMs that
must be moved– Moves before
contention starts
• DRS– Resolve unexpected
resource demand– Minimal overhead– Only moves VMs that
must be moved– Moves VMs when
contention starts
Reactive Balance *NEW* Predictive

How Predictive DRS WorksOptimize Resource Utilization
• Tight integration between DRS and vRealize Operations Manager • Resource utilization trends are observed by vR Ops and sent to DRS• Predicted demand of workloads is incorporated into DRS algorithms
– DRS Moves, Initial Placement and Load Balancing– Current VM demands are honored before future demands are satisfied
