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

Are they actually used?
Technical Issues Planning & Visibility
Misconception: Virtual resources are free! Band Aid Approach: Fix bad apps with more virtual resources

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!
