VMware vRealize Operations. Capacity metering, trending, right-sizing, what-if scenarios, and resource optimization. Resource monitoring, planning, and optimization applicable to any object, including third-party data. Where is it best utilized? Like most VMware product sets, vCAC comes in multiple editions as well including standard, advanced, and enterprise.
Standard edition provides the base automation toolsets, advanced adds in the self-service catalog the original DynamicOps feature set , and enterprise adds in dynamic application provisioning formally vFabric AppDirector. If you have a very dynamic environment, such as development or devops, then vCAC may well be the tool for you. ITBM What is it? Its purpose is to provide financial management of large millions of dollars IT budgets by providing visibility into true costs and quality so that IT may be better aligned to the business.
It too comes in multiple editions including standard, advanced, and enterprise. Advanced adds the physical and non-VMware world into the equation and enterprise adds the quality component. This is very important when considering any move to a public cloud environment as you need to be able to truly compare costs.
The licensing for this is interesting because unlike similar products it is per device rather than a per terabyte of data model, which can potentially provide a huge cost savings.
The only difference in the vSOM editions are the underlying vSphere edition. Here are all the index scores it provides:. Each resource is assigned the value for its current health status. The use of this health scoring, based on statistical analysis over time, is something that makes vCOPS unique in the capacity and performance monitoring category.
The bad side, in my opinion, is that you are being charged even for the handful of VMs that may make up your vCOPS monitoring. You are also not incentivized to maximize your infrastructure by fitting more VMs per host — something that has always been a core benefit of server virtualization.
