Why VMware?200,000 VMware customers can’t be wrong! › Get more out of your existing

resources and gain operational flexibility

› Reduce datacenter costs by reducing your physical infrastructure

› Increased service availability for improved business continuity

Virtualization is the essential catalyst for cloud computing!


What could possibly go wrong?› Inability to track cloud bottlenecks across pooled resources, and understand how Vapps are affected

› Poor availability, utilization and performance of cloud resources

› Lack of visibility into virtual andassociated physical infrastructure

› Compute density and converged infrastructure» The cost of multiple tools » Legacy tools not designed to relate a single unified view

› Lack of visibility into your cloud infrastructure and user experience


What’s Needed is Complete CoverageSuccess requires a complete view» VMware ESX hosts» VMware virtual machines» Operating systems and applications on VM guests

» VMware Virtual Center Server health

» vCloud Director for Virtual Data Center and Vapp visibility

» End user response times» Networking devices and bandwidth

» Physical systems» Storage


Nimsoft for VMware› Auto monitoring of VMs› Physical and virtual correlation› vMotion / DRS /HA Awareness› Intelligent alerts – Baselining› Integration Capabilities› A single solution that supports all the elements» Physical and virtual» Network, application, storage, chassis, environmental, power, user experience, … Multiple

Tools
