VMware Unveils vCenter Operations

VMware, Inc., the virtualisation and cloud infrastructure company, has announced a strategy and a new solution to simplify and automate how IT organisations manage services in dynamic virtual and cloud environments. VMware vCenter Operations will help customers transform IT operations to achieve the agility and economics of cloud computing.

vCenter Operations will integrate with VMware vSphere, understand its advanced infrastructure management functionality and able to collect data from its underlying physical components (servers, storage, network) as well as other management tools within the enterprise. It will then analyse the data points these systems produce in real-time to get to the information that matters and visually present it in a simple, actionable way through dashboards. This means infrastructure and operations teams will have the intelligence they need to make fast, informed operational decisions.

"IT management is being turned on its head as enterprises expand their virtual infrastructures to achieve improved efficiencies and responsiveness," said Ramin Sayar, Vice President Product Strategy, Enterprise Management, VMware. "Increasingly, our customers are realising that a management model designed for yesterday’s IT systems is making it difficult to keep up with the demands of today’s business environment. We believe that vCenter Operations will help our customers modernise their operations and take the next step in the journey towards a more simplified, agile approach to IT."
