Enterprise-Capable: VM Performance Monitoring/Reporting
11
VM Performance Monitoring/Reporting vFoglight Single web-based “pane-of-glass” view Manage the relationships and interactions between all the components in the virtual infrastructure Scalable solution for any size environments Fully customizable dashboards, reports, and alarms LDAP directory service support with role based administration Chargeback models (FTR, MRU, Add-ons) Capacity Planning Ability to drill down to guest processes Monitoring of physical servers operating systems
12
vFoglight Extends VirtualCenter vFoglight VC agents collect raw metrics about the following levels: VirtualCenter Datacenters Resource Pools Clusters ESX Servers Virtual Machines Datastores Metrics are stored in a database over time and provide a history! Benefits include trend analysis (when will I need to buy new storage?)

Storage Reclamation & Reallocation
19
vOptimizer Pro Best of VMWorld Finalist – New Technology Locate and total all over-allocated VM storage throughout customer’s data center(s) Help customers use their existing Virtual Machine (VM) storage more efficiently Right size under- or over-allocated VM storage Schedule and execute regular VM storage optimization procedures Produce and distribute VM storage cost savings reports Align partitions to 64K offsets to significantly improve VM performance
20
IT organizations do not realize just how much money is being wasted on over-allocated VM storage Most companies have between 50% - 80% of empty VM storage Used VM Storage Over-allocated VM Storage Wasted Space is Wasted Money
21
Align partitions For details on aligning see: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_partition_align.pdf Not Aligned: Aligned:

Align partitions All Windows VMs are misaligned; newly built, legacy, and P2V Designed to add performance benefits to Windows™ guest operating systems; specifically for data volumes Alignment detection display: Aligning Benefits:
23
Summarizing Storage Savings High-speed ROI scans can determine VM storage over- allocation for entire Data Centers Total IT dollars wasted is calculated based on customer entered info including cost of storage and desired free space
