2 Automating Operations Management Why? What? How? Why is Operations Management different in the virtual world? What exactly needs to be managed and what you should focus on? How to do we deliver with the vcenter Operations Suite? By the end of the session, you should have a good understanding of how you can better manage your vsphere and vcloud environment. 2

3 Do we need to change the way we manage? Virtual Machine is just Physical Machine virtualized. Even VMware said the Guest OS is not aware it s virtualized and it does not run differently. It is still about monitoring CPU, RAM, Disk, Net. No different. Our management process does not have to change. All these VM must still feed into our Enterprise Management System. This is how we run our business and it works. If only life was that simple. we would all be 100% virtualised and have 0% headache! 3

4 The Role of Operations Management Ensure and Restore Service Levels Optimize for Efficiency and Cost Monitor Slow performance! Problem Plan Utilization / forecast Maintenance Remediate Isolate Automate Optimize Rollback change Config issue Orchestrate changes Reclaim capacity Reactive Proactive 4

5 Traditional Tools? 5

6 Example: Problems with Traditional Monitoring Tools What does this really mean? Why is it happening? What should you do? vsphere vcenter Server Server, Storage, Network Monitoring OS, DB, App Monitoring Cloud requires a new approach to management. Traditional monitoring tools alone can t handle it. 6

7 AN INCREASED RATE OF CHANGE REQUIRE IT OPERATIONS MANAGERS TO CONSIDER AUGMENTING OLD-STYLE EVENT CORRELATION WITH A NEW KIND OF IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT TOOL Gartner March 30,

8 Example: Problems with Static Thresholds and Alerts Low thresholds cause alert storms High thresholds miss alerts? 8

9 OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS, THE # OF ALERTS GENERATED BY EVENT/PERFORMANCE SYSTEMS HAS INCREASED, ON AVERAGE BY 300% AMONG GLOBAL 2000 ENTERPRISES Gartner March 30,
