Clearpath & vCenter Ops - What We Needed • Needed Better Visibility • Accurate System Health • Infrastructure Capacity and Right-Size Recommendations • Needed Simple Administration • Reduced Complexity for Installation and Maintenance • Simplified, Unified Dashboard
Clearpath & vCenter Ops - Visibility We Lacked • vCenter Views • Did not entirely show us a full picture. • VMware showed a cluster with plenty of capacity available. • Memory and CPU, and first glance, don’t appear to be overly taxed. • Qualitatively, we were aware of bottlenecks in the environment but could not readily identify a bottleneck without mining numerous systems for data. • Most importantly, no alarms had been triggered whatsoever.
Clearpath & vCenter Ops - What We Know Now • vCenter Operations – Cluster View • We can suddenly see true CPU contention on the cluster as well as a calculated “normal” baseline.
Clearpath & vCenter Ops - What We Know Now • vCenter Operations – Host View • As we drill down into the data, we get a clearer picture of what is happening, and how isolated (or not) the problem is.
Clearpath & vCenter Ops - What We Learned • Unified Dashboard into Relevant Metrics • A Roll-up of metrics into a single-score system. • A system which understood “normal” and more intelligently alerted us.
