When to use this deck:
− Target audience: Virtualization architects/admins
− Deploy when customers complain about any of the following:
• manual siloed monitoring of different virtual platforms/environments
• lack of visibility into true application performance metrics
• problem solving is extremely time-consuming and labor intensive
• trouble with event storms
• IT worried that they will be blamed if anything goes wrong after virtualizing
key applications, even if the virtual environment isn’t at fault

key stats around Virtualization Maturity from The
Enterprise Strategy Group
— Keep this in mind as you are presenting the material
− Leaders have placed their bets.
− Capital cost concerns remain consistent across the maturity spectrum.
− Customers want to scale VM deployment with existing investment
− Performance concerns rise as more applications are migrated.
− Lack of knowledge and skills remain a consistent barrier to scale
− 56% have less than 250 virtual machines
− 59% have not virtualized an mission critical applications

however…not all clear sailing
"With the move to more dynamic, larger-scale virtualized production
environments, IT decision makers begin to see how important effective
management and automation of the virtual infrastructure environment is to
the consistent support of business goals."

value proposition
— CA Virtual Assurance helps ensure the highest up-time and reduces the
Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) -delivering a low TCO starting day-one for
your virtual environments.
— ENSURE HIGHEST UP-TIME: CA Virtual Assurance ensures the availability of services
delivered to the business . With capabilities like vMotion tracking and real-time or
historical performance trending, it delivers highest uptime and helps maintain
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in small and large virtual environments.
— REDUCE MTTR: Intelligent root-cause analytics and event correlation capabilities
provided by CA Virtual Assurance help detect, diagnose, and remediate faults
quickly -improving productivity of virtualization administrators and significantly
reducing MTTR.
— LOWER TCO: CA Virtual Assurance is an appliance-based solution for quick
deployment, and delivers a flexible and easy-to-use interface for administration and
reporting. It is optimized for virtual environments OOTB –delivering a lower TCO
starting day-one.

differentiators
CA Virtual Assurance provides accurate root-cause analytics, monitoring of
application and infrastructure traffic response time, and historical performance and
trending capabilities – enabling comprehensive event, fault and performance
management of virtual infrastructures.
ACCURATE ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS: Accurate root-cause analysis, comprehensive
correlation capabilities, and guided OOTB resolution ‘next-steps’ provided by CA
Virtual Assurance help administrators quickly isolate faults within virtual
infrastructures and take remediation action – reducing the risk of downtime.
MONITORING OF APPLICATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE RESPONSE TIME: CA Virtual
Assurance provides insight into not only virtual infrastructure details (virtual switch
metrics, intra-VM traffic, etc), but also the response of applications running within
the VMs – providing end-to-end visibility into virtual infrastructures.
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND TRENDING: The historical performance and capacity
trending capabilities provided by CA Virtual Assurance help determine utilization
thresholds – enabling dynamic remediation.
