Windows Server Management Marketing 9/11/2018 vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.8 Key updated features VMware claims System Center Operations Manager vCOps with vCenter Hyperic Enhanced application monitoring Monitor an in-depth SQL or Exchange out-of-box with dashboards. Leverage self-learning analytics and automated correlation of application and infrastructure performance. SQL Server CPU, Memory, Disk IO, Network IO CPU, Memory, Disk IO, Network IO Only when VM in vSphere DB active connections, requests, sessions, transactions No functionality Configuration (Cluster, etc) VMWARE CLAIMS With vCenter Hyperic (which is part of vCOps) can monitor an in-depth SQL or Exchange out-of-box with dashboards. They also claim they can leverage self-learning analytics and automated correlation of application and infrastructure performance. FACT No company can monitor better Microsoft workloads than Microsoft. What vCenter Hyperic can do, is to monitor Microsoft workload services in a VM level. This is not an in-depth monitoring if you think about how System Center can monitor Exchange, SQL and SharePoint in based on Configuration, Performance, and Event information. We can truly monitor in-depth of an application. Example: vCenter Hyperic and vCOps would never tell you when SQL is in a deadlock or memory leak situation. It will only monitor clustering state, CPU, Memory, Disk IO and Network IO. Also, with System Center, you will always know when an urgent patch has to be made for SQL or other major workloads. Security (SQL specific updates, etc) Performance (CPU, Memory, Disk IO, Net IO) Transaction log, DB Engine CPU utilization, Buffer cache hit ratio No functionality Availability (DB Service, etc) Minimal information on workload gathering from a VM level that is ONLY running on vSphere.

Windows Server Management Marketing 9/11/2018 vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.8 Key updated features VMware claims System Center Operations Manager vCOps with vCenter Hyperic Storage analytics Visibility into storage infrastructure into topology, stats, and events across HBAs, Fabric, and Arrays Storages Storage Systems No functionality Events No functionality VMWARE CLAIMS Storage analytics provide visibility into storage infrastructure bringing views into topology, stats and events across HBAs, Fabric and Arrays using standardized protocols such as CIM, SIM-S and VASA. FACT This is only true when it is recognized to vCenter. As for System Center, it monitors as a physical level up to the application level. You will be able to monitor an in-depth monitoring including the topology view by incorporating hardware vendor’s (HP, IBM, DELL, Netapp, and more) management pack. Example: vCOps shows storage usage and IO so it can plan accordingly. System Center can show what vCOps can as well. At the same time, if you incorporate the DELL management packs, it will provide Dell-specific views that you can use to observe and drill down the system status of their storage related hardware. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails?DriverId=1YHD8 https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=SCOM http://pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/applications/IBM-Storage-Management-Pack-for-Microsoft-System-Center-Operations- Manager-12884958381 http://blog.scomfaq.ch/2012/09/09/scom-2012-netapp-management-pack-version-3-1/ http://www.datacore.com/Solutions/storage-virtualization-and-virtual-server-desktop/Microsoft/system-center-monitoring- pack.aspx Only true when it is utilized by vCenter.

Windows Server Management Marketing 9/11/2018 vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.8 Key updated features VMware claims Hyper-V and Amazon Web Services Hyper-V and Amazon Web Services dashboards provide a single console to monitor private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. System Center Operations Manager vCOps with vCenter Hyperic Hybrid Cloud VM Cloud service Storage DB Active Directory Service bus Azure Hyper-V, vSphere, Xen support in Private Cloud No Xen support and very limited Hyper-V support Single pane of glass support Equivalent VMWARE CLAIMS Hyper-V and Amazon web services dashboards provide a single console to monitor private, public and hybrid cloud environments. FACT vCops can only manage Hyper-V on a very basic level. System Center provides a much in-depth management around vSphere and vCenter compared to what they offer monitoring and managing Hyper-V. Also, System Center can monitor Azure, Amazon for public cloud and can monitor and utilize vSphere and Xen for private cloud. Example: If you have an application scaled out to a public cloud but also uses resources in the private cloud, System Center enables you to monitor in an application perspective no matter where it sits. vCops has no intelligence on how the application is connected to multiple clouds. VM Storage DB Active Directory Service bus Private Cloud vmmp-test1 Host In-depth monitoring of Azure and AWS No information on Azure System Center provides much flexible management around vSphere and vCenter compared to what they offer vCOps and Hyper-V.

Why choose System Center over vCOps Suite Key differentiator Windows Server Management Marketing 9/11/2018 Why choose System Center over vCOps Suite Key differentiator The key difference from System Center and vCOps suite is “Mean Time To Resolution”. In-depth information that System Center provides is the essence in resolving problems within your datacenter. Lacks in integration with various product acquisitions within vCOps Suite Only System Center provides full stack of Cloud management through the following capabilities: Infrastructure provisioning Enterprise-class multi-tenant infrastructure for hybrid environments Application performance monitoring Deep insight into application health Automation and self-service Application-owner agility while IT retains control IT service management Flexible service delivery Infrastructure monitoring Comprehensive monitoring of physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure vCenter is good integration with vSphere, however with various product acquisition within vCOps Suite, it lacks in integration The key difference from System Center and vCOps suite is “Mean Time To Resolution”. No matter how visual vCOps may show, the in-depth information that System Center provides is the key essence in resolving problems within your datacenter. Only System Center provides full stack of Cloud management through the following capabilities Lets now jump into the meat of the discussion by introducing the key System Center capabilities. As we go through these capability chapters, I’d like to anchor our discussions under some key areas that you (and your business) likely cares about. By the end of this presentation, I’m hoping you will see how Microsoft has a unique solution to best meet your needs for each of these areas. Consistent with the notion of Cloud OS, “hybrid” is built into these capabilities – so you will see how System Center truly enables common management that spans Windows Server and Windows Azure environments. Not only is System Center best-of-breed for Windows Server environments and Microsoft workloads (such as Exchange, SharePoint and SQL) but it also enables robust management of heterogeneous datacenters. System Center infrastructure management capabilities are enterprise-grade and ready to use today. We’re constantly striving to reduce complexity in your datacenter by making it easy to provision, manage, and operate infrastructure services based on Windows Server 2012 R2. System Center has a relentless focus on optimizing your apps and workloads by arming you with rich insights to help you deliver predictable application SLAs (after all, apps are what your business cares about and infrastructure exists to support them) Here is a summary introduction to the capabilities: Infrastructure provisioning – This is about enabling enterprises and service providers to provision an infrastructure that meets their key requirements such as workload scale/performance, heterogeneity, multi-tenancy, and chargeback. System Center can help provision custom or standardized infrastructure for on-premises, service provider, or Windows Azure environments. Automation and self-service – System Center will continue to give application owners the agility they need while enabling datacenter admins (in enterprises and service providers) with the tools they need to drive the needed cost-effectiveness and IT control. Infrastructure monitoring – System Center provides a single toolset to monitor infrastructure resources - physical, virtual, or cloud computing models - across on-premises, service provider, and Windows Azure environments. Application performance monitoring – Recognizing that applications are what really matter to the business, System Center provides deep insight necessary to deliver predictable application SLAs to application owners. IT service management – System Center will continue to provide enterprise IT deliver services in a flexible manner by providing the necessary service management processes such as custom service request offerings, process/ knowledge integration, and chargeback. © 2012 Microsoft Corporation.
