vReplicator Advantages• Outside the guest per VM replication
– No agents in the guest
• No complex training
• Failover testing built in• No need for destination to be powered on
– Licensing of OS and application on destination usually not required
• Replication to dissimilar environment– Save on hardware costs
Why Customers Use vReplicator• Designed for servers that data recovery from the day
before is not acceptable – need more recent data
• SMB clients that could never afford an H/A solution
• Larger clients that may want departmental or select VMs replicated w/o using existing SAN mirroring
Enterprise-Capable: VM Performance Monitoring & Reporting
What is vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro monitors your entire VMware enterprise:
– A single “pane-of-glass” approach– Scalable solution for large environments– Top down dashboard views with specific rules and metrics
for each topology level– Advanced statistical analysis– Fully customizable– Clear VMware architectural awareness– Automated metrics monitoring and storage– High-level data aggregation for simplified analysis
Who Needs vCharter Pro?• Customers who:
– Are running more than 100 VMs in their environment– Have provisioning of VMs handled by multiple administrators– Have a high volume of VMs with short life cycles or with
dynamic movement within the data center– Do not have clear trending or reporting on the impact of
higher utilization of their hardware– Are using VirtualCenter but require more granular
information on usage of CPU, Memory, Disk or NIC– Have VMs running in highly integrated and interdependent
systems– Are running critical applications on VMs which would have
high impact on the company if performance falls short
Why Use vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro works “right out of the box”!
– Turn it on and start monitoring– Click on any displayed red alarms
• Alarms describe the problem and offer a solution• Web based interface – no client needs to be installed• Raw and derived metrics support informed decisions
What Are Advantages of vCharter Pro?• vCharter Pro is entirely customizable
