What's new in vOPS 4.5

vOperations Suite Overview

Right-sizing & Wastefinder Resources

Datasheets

vOPS Optimizer Datasheet: Improve data center ROI by controlling VM sprawl and reclaiming over allocated server and storage resources.

White Papers

Virtualization Management Index (VMI) Report
Drawn from a data set size of over 2,500 unique environments and 550,000 virtual machines, the VMI provides a glimpse into the status of server consolidation measured by the of VMs per host.

VM Performance Parasites in Your Virtual Environment
Forgotten data objects can clog up storage and other resources. Cleaning up this waste increases data center ROI.

Case Studies

University of Nottingham: vOPS™ Optimizer quickly found over-allocated virtual machines and gave the University of Nottingham's data center the visibility to show application owners that their VMs could maintain high performance with fewer resources. Additionally, Optimizer continuously locates unused data files that can be reclaimed to deploy new VMs. Ultimately, these VM sizing and wastefinding actions make the VMware environment more efficient, helping the University of Nottingham meet its virtualization business goals.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: vOPS™ Capacity Manager quickly found capacity bottlenecks in their large infrastructure while vOPS™ Optimizer allowed for “right-sizing” of VMs so that the data center could appropriately use resources. Then vOPS™ Reporting & Chargeback drastically reduced time and overhead of managing the virtual infrastructure.

CyberShift: Using vOPS™ Capacity Manager and vOPS™ Optimizer, CyberShift is better monitoring, managing, and optimizing its VMware infrastructure with instant visibility, detailed information, and automated reporting. With VKernel products, CyberShift was able to right-size VMs and find enough additional resource capacity to delay a $30-40K purchase of additional hardware.

The Netherlands Government: With vOPS™ Capacity Manager, a Netherland government agency gained immediate value, with insight on VM capacity and performance that VMware's vCenter management console could not provide. Capacity Manager also provided vision for future resource planning while vOPS™ Optimizer helped "right size" resources such as CPU memory use with specific recommendations. Finally, vOPS™ Reporting & Chargeback will help address a policy requiring departments being billed based on their use of IT resources.
