objects
•
•
•
•
SDK-based integration, can use VirtualCenter
Agent installs in the COS
Virtual Machine , Virtual Farm & Physical Host
Monitor & manage GSX and ESX
– Status/management of physical hosts and virtual
machines
• Present visual cues and log events as they occur on the physical
host or virtual machine
• Enable Start/Shutdown/Suspend/Resume/Restart of Virtual Machines
• Provide (with VMware) the ability to manually or automatically
move running virtual machines between 2 physical hosts in the
same Virtual Farm
• Drive VMotion and power control through hardware health events
• Ease-of-administration and self-healing of ESX Server
environments
– “Single pane of glass management” of virtual /
physical machines
• Integration point for VMware VirtualCenter and IBM Director

<? BMC Performance Manager />
BMC Performance Manager (formerly PATROL) for
Virtual Servers 1.1:
• Discovers the virtual machines contained in
environment
–
Correlates VMs to ESX hosts
• Map virtual resources to physical resources
• Switch between a physical and logical view
• Assess virtual and physical resources
utilization/capacity

The nworks VMware® Events Management Pack extends the reach of
Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 into the world of ESX Server™
without adding any software to your ESX Servers. The nworks VMware
Events MP is a completely distributed ESX Server and VirtualCenter
event monitoring solution for MOM 2005. The nworks VMware Events MP
provides event, availability, and performance data to lower VMware
ESX Server virtual infrastructure costs while increasing server
availability.

ChargeBack
<? ChargeBack />
The Provment
Solution
Provment System is
the only IT
chargeback system
that correctly
handles the dynamic
aspects of
virtualized
environments.
<? ChargeBack />
Provment System – VMware
Technical Overview
Installed Capacity (RU) is
calculated by a modified
Provment Agent. The agent
by-passes VMware HW
virtualization thus giving a RU
number reflecting the total
capacity of the machine.
Used RU:s is split between the
Virtual servers according to their
CPU usage.
