Forecast and Manage Virtual Environment Capacity
vOPS Capacity ManagerTM, part of the vOperations SuiteTM, uses predictive analysis of system metrics to identify future bottlenecks and model available VM capacity across server and storage resources. Capacity Manager is unique using advanced analytics to calculate the maximum number of VMs that can safely fit on existing equipment. By using this capacity planning solution, virtualization administrators are able to avoid VM performance issues and accurately plan for additional VMware capacity.
Key Features:
- Future Bottlenecks Report forecasts upcoming VM performance issues, time to issue, and constraining resource
- Capacity Availability Map models available VM slots based on average, maximum VM size, or custom VM profiles in the current or future state of the environment
- Predictive Alerts warn when certain utilization conditions are forecast to occur and impact VM performance
Operational Benefits:
- Understand current and future capacity bottlenecks to stay ahead of increasing virtual machine demand
- Gauge available capacity by modeling future virtual machine loads
- Identify resource constraints to procure the right hardware
- Support capacity management and planning for mixed Hyper-V/VMware
Business Benefits:
- Avoid SLA violations and crisis hardware procurement through accurate purchasing forecasts
- Eliminate overbuying of hardware through accurate capacity planning and availability insight
- Defer equipment purchasing and maximize hardware use through higher VM density
- Reduce downtime and firefighting by avoiding forecasted performance problems
Capacity Manager is simple to download, easy to deploy and provides immediate measurable value.

Optimize Resource Utilization
vOPS' OptimizerTM, part of the vOperations SuiteTM, analyzes actual utilization and VM performance metrics to rightsize VM allocations and reclaim unused resources. Optimizer is unique in its ability to immediately implement allocation recommendations with vCenter automation. By using this optimization solution, virtualization administrators can use their hardware most efficiently.
Key Features:
- Rightsizer Report shows resources that can be safely reclaimed using peak and average historical trending
- Wastefinder Report uncovers abandoned snapshots, templates, VMs and zombie VMs
- Rightsizing Automation offers one-click or scheduled resource reclamation implementation
Operational Benefits:
- Reduce unnecessary VM resource allocations based on actual peak and average usage
- Reduce waste by identifying unused data objects for removal
- Increase VM performance by optimizing VMware memory, CPU and storage allocations
- Automate optimal VM sizing
Business Benefits:\
- Defer equipment purchases with reclaimed resources
- Reclaim software licenses from abandoned powered-Off and Zombie VMs
- Avoid crisis procurements
- Reclaim IT budget for other needs
Optimizer is simple to download, easy to deploy and provides immediate measurable value.

Chargeback and Configuration Reporting for Virtual Environments
vOPS' Reporting & ChargebackTM, part of the vOperations SuiteTM, profiles VM usage and configuration for cost visibility and virtual environment reporting. Reporting & Chargeback is unique in its ability to use an analytics engine to profile VM usage and report on an entire virtual environment by federating multiple vCenter instances. By using this solution for reporting and chargeback, virtualization administrators are able to quickly gain visibility into their environment and its costs.
Key Features:
- Chargeback Reports that include both utilization and allocation cost
- VM Directory Report that updates in real time and shows all VM data in a spreadsheet with sorting and filtering
- Reporting across the entire virtual infrastructure with multiple vCenter federation
Operational Benefits:
- Easily produce VM consumption and configuration reports for management that can be automated
- Gain rapid insight into entire virtual inventory using ad hoc query tool
- Meter resource usage for billing purposes
- Support chargeback for mixed Hyper-V/VMware environments
Business Benefits:
- Cost visibility reduces VM sprawl which drives down capital and operational expenditures
- Cost calculations per customer allow for IT billing
- Management-level reports provides insight for planning and budgeting
Reporting & Chargeback is simple to download, easy to deploy and provides immediate measurable value.

Monitor, Diagnose, and Resolve Real Time VMware Performance Issues
vOPS Performance AnalyzerTM, part of the vOperations SuiteTM, uses real time analysis of system metrics and vCenter alerts to determine abnormal trends and root cause, impact, and resolution of immediate VM performance issues. Performance Analyzer is unique in its use of advanced analytics combined with an intuitive user interface to complement VMware vCenter's warning engine. By using this VM monitoring solution, virtualization administrators are able to quickly solve VM performance problems.
Key Features:
- Root Cause Monitor Screen - lists the root cause behind multiple vCenter alerts with resolution recommendations
- Impact Analysis Drill Down Report - identifies all VMs and datastores impacted by an issue
- One-Click Issue Remediation - implements recommendations automatically through vCenter integration
Operational Benefits:
- Rapidly navigate "vCenter alert storms" to determine performance problem root cause
- See all VMs and datastores that have been affected by an issue
- Alert on changes in utilization that could lead to VM performance issues
Business Benefits:
- Decrease troubleshooting time for VM performance issues
- Reduce VM downtime
- Accelerate virtualization of mission-critical applications
Performance Analyzer is simple to download, easy to deploy and provides immediate measurable value.
