Virtualization Management
TRANSFORM THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR VIRTUALIZED DATACENTER

As the recognized leader in virtualization , VMware is uniquely positioned to build on this foundation with a new breedVmware_Logo_big
 of solutions designed specifically for dynamic virtualized and cloud environments. These new solutions replace inefficient, manual processes with policy-driven automation and deliver IT management as an intrinsic part of the system and not as an afterthought. Traditional tools and processes that were designed for siloed, static physical infrastructures cannot provide the automation and control needed for inherently dynamic virtualized environments and cloud infrastructures.VMware first simplified infrastructure complexity through virtualization and is now simplifying IT management complexity with next generation management solutions. VMware virtualization and cloud management solutions are built for dynamic environments and fundamentally change how organizations manage IT and deliver services, helping customers achieve:

 

  • Zero-touch Automation

     

  • Policy-driven Service Assurance

     

  • Management and Cloud Interoperability

 

     

 

These Service Management solutions span four categories – each with unique benefits for the virtualized data centre:

  • VMware for Service Management: Designed by the experts in infrastructure virtualization, VMware’s 100% web based IT Service Management solution - VMware Service Manager - integrates, simplifies and automates service delivery with the visibility, control and agility required in dynamic physical, virtual and cloud environments. Leveraging integrated self-service and request fulfillment, intelligent workflows, proactive problem resolution, streamlined change and configuration management and next generation Asset Management, VMware Service Manager enables service delivery organizations to:
    • Make your Service Desk Cloud Aware

       
    • Use tools designed for practitioners

       
    • End-to-end Automation

       
    • Rapidly deploy ITIL processes

       


    This solution includes VMware Service Manager (formerly infraEnterprise)

  • VMware for Service Discovery and Mapping:  Provides the visibility into complex applications and their physical and virtual dependencies – supporting and enabling Configuration Management Database (CMDB)/Configuration Management System (CMS) population, change management, and application troubleshooting. It helps customers meet the challenges of business continuity and site recovery across the physical and virtual infrastructure.  The solution also enables customers to accurately map servers and applications prior to data centre moves, consolidations, and virtualisation migrations.



  • VMware for Data Center Automation and Compliance:  Enables customers to scale their virtualised data centre without increasing staff.  Through strong compliance management solutions across the IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, application dependencies and networks, customers can assess configuration compliance against regulatory, best-practices, and internal governance policies including Vmware vSphere(tm) 4 deployment guidelines. Customers can then remediate compliance violations across physical and virtual infrastructures.  Through additional integrations with VMware Service Management for IT Operations Intelligence, customers can view change events from the operations topology map and enable incident and problem processes to leverage change and configuration processes.
