Customers Around the World Have Spoken

vC Ops came shinning through

Thanks vC Ops!

vC Ops alarmed us before ourfirst user noticed the performanceIssue

So we were able to roll back with an absolute minimalimpact on our users' VMs. Directly reference

Compliancy proceduresas proven to be a

great investment The advance diagnostic tool isable to sort out metrics for SANproblems, we were blind beforevC Ops with recursive problems,now are not anymore.

Customer Problems Voiced

I tried other methods, but I cant

find the real performance problem?

What are my virtualized app

Dependencies?

I spend too much time

administering the tools

I get too many alerts

I dont trust my current tools

There are so many performance

metrics to consider

I need to prove to the app team that

their apps are overprovisioned

Prove to the business:

Improve efficiency & agil ity / reduce costs

Why vCenter Operations?

vCenter & the vSphere Client arent enough

Not enough intelligence

Not answering real-world burning questions

No insight into applications

Cant predict the future

No fun to use Cost you a Windows install and license

Dont understand your vSphere infrastructure


20/37

What Makes vCOPS Unique?

Deploys as an appliance (vApp)

No Windows OS or SQL license cost

Available for 60 day eval

Beautiful GUI

Apparatus / Large Pharmaceutical Experience with vC Ops

Business Problem Agile Infrastructure

Escalating Costs: Overbuild virtual servers

Visibility: Large P2V project that virtualized/retired 3000 servers Are the right sized?

Are they actually used?

Technical Issues Planning & Visibility

Misconception: Virtual resources are free! Band Aid Approach: Fix bad apps with more virtual resources

vCenter Operations Comes to the rescue

Easily deployed as vApp

Keep The Optimization Train Rolling Western Hemisphere DC

Looking at the current server

order

Hosts are 4x10 cores and 512GBRAM

Look at all that reclaimable

waste!

68.7 hosts worth of vCPU or 25

hosts worth of RAM

I bet management would love to knowhow the organization could better

use the existing infrastructure

Apparatus Lessons Learned

Guests were overbuilt Bloated

Set baseline and proved back to Dev

Saving the company $$$

During P2V it was found that physical hosts

were not used

Confidently isolated power hungry hosts

We actually know which virtual guests areused now!

Best Practices for vC Ops deployment

Monitor storage

Does it work? Proactively located performance issues

We were not even looking for!
