3 Performance Issue Caused by Change

4 Capacity Analysis And What if? Analysis

5 Efficiency Optimization

6 What is vsphere with Operations Management

7 What is vsphere with Operations Management? vsphere + = vcenter Operations VSOM Standard Enterprise Enterprise Plus Standard Advanced Limited time vcenter Operations Advanced Edition Add-On Promo Contact sales for more information. vsphere + vc Ops Standard Operations Dashboard Health Monitoring Capacity Planning Efficiency Optimization 7

8 How is vsphere with Operations Management Licensed? Single License Key to Enable Both vsphere and vcenter Operations Licensed from within vcenter Server Per-processor No Restrictions on Physical Cores, Physical RAM or # of VMs Licensing, Pricing and Packaging Guide vmware.com/go/vsom-licensing 8

9 Moving from vsphere to vsphere with Operations Management 4 East Steps to Add Operations Management to Your Existing vsphere Deployment Add License Configure Network Settings Deploy vapp Register with vcenter Server(s) Once deployed allow time for the analytics to learn the environment. Immediate = Health and Performance 1 Week = Waste and Density 1 Month = Capacity The longer vcenter Operations Manager runs, the more accurate the data will be. 9

10 vcenter Operations Manager Distribution Distributed as a Single vapp (OVA) OVA comprised of Two VMs UI VM vsphere Web Client vcenter Operations Administration Portal Analytics VM Collects and Stores Data Capacity and Performance Analytics Three Deployment Models: 1500 VMs 4 vcpus 16GB Mem 3000 VMs 8 vcpus 25GB Mem >3000 VMs 16 vcpus 34GB Mem 10

14 Why You Need vsphere with Operations Management

15 Performance Issue? CURRENT CPU UTILIZATION alerts Sun Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat Static Threshold CPU > 90% CPU UTILIZATION OVER TIME Week 1 Week Week 2 2 Week Week 3 3 Week 4 Problem 15

16 Why Add Operations Management? vsphere (vcenter + ESXi) Limited visibility & notification Per Host / Per VM vsphere with Operations Management (vsom) Holistic visibility Dynamic thresholds w/ smart alerts History & trends Capacity planning Utilization & efficiency 16

17 Explaining Health / Risk / Efficiency

18 Health, Risk & Efficiency HEALTH Health Real-time visibility Self learning analytics / dynamic thresholds Integrated smart alerts Risk RISK How much time/capacity do I have left? What If capacity planning Efficiency EFFICIENCY Identify over provisioned resources VM to Host consolidation ratios 18

19 Comprehensive Operations Dashboard Immediate problems Immediate Future Forward Looking What is happening right now? What do I need to pay attention to? Are there areas that I should be concerned about? Am I utilizing resources in the most efficient Manner? 19 Understanding vcenter Operations Badges by David Davis:

21 Defining Dynamic Thresholds Intelligent Operations Groups Custom Policies

22 Dynamic vs. Static Thresholds Learned Dynamic Threshold CPU Spike within Dynamic Threshold not a concern CPU Spike outside Dynamic Threshold indicates abnormal behavior 22

23 Not All Objects Are Equal Policies define: Badge Threshold Settings Usable vs. Physical Capacity Overcommit Settings Over/Undersized Calculations When to send alerts Different workloads require different policies Production, test, dev, batch, etc. After install, default policy used for all objects Important: Group objects by workload and associate an appropriate policy! 23

24 Groups & Policies DEFAULT POLICY Overcommit = Yes High Availability = Yes Idle VMs = 90% Alerts = Yes PROD TEST DEV 24

25 Groups & Policies Customize operational view of infra to specific business needs (App, LOB) Intelligent alerts and thresholds based on group management policies PROD-GRP TEST-GRP DEV-GRP PROD-POLICY Overcommit = No HA = Yes Idle = 90% Alerts = Yes TEST-POLICY Overcommit = Yes HA = No Idle = 50% Alerts = No DEV-POLICY Overcommit = Yes HA = No Idle = 95% Alerts = No 25

26 Tech Preview Recommendations and Actions

27 Summary of alerts, but how do I troubleshoot? How do I fix? 27

28 Future: Define your own symptoms and alerts Include recommendations Built in actions 28

29 Custom Alert! 29

30 Alert triggers when: DRS is not enabled - And- Host in cluster has high CPU load User defined recommendation 30

31 Tech Preview Projects

32 Cannot commit What-if planning scenarios. 32

33 What-if moved to Projects with new look & feel. 33

34 Ability to plan, commit and expire projects. 34

39 Q & A Kyle Gleed Senior Technical Marketing Architect Ryan Johnson Staff Technical Account Manager

40 Summary VMware vsphere with Operations Management Health Monitoring and Performance Analytics Real-time visibility into your vsphere Infrastructure Self learning analytics and dynamic thresholds that learn and adapt to your environment Integrated smart alerts help to identify building problems and proactively address issues before they affect end users Operations Dashboards with root cause analysis Easy to use dashboards Monitoring data abstracted into health, risk and efficiency Capacity Management and Optimization Identify overprovisioned and under provisioned resources What If capacity planning Integrated with the vsphere Web Client 40
