• Analyze

Closing Notes• Summary

• Q&A


New World

Reduced IT Budget

Scaled out commodity hardware

Increased Business demands

New technologies and skill requirements

IT to run at the speed of the business

Evolution of Enterprise IT Department and Data Centers

Apps,

Servers,

Network,

Storage, Virtualization

Private and Public Cloud

From Silos to………….......… Dynamic Data Centers


Rapidly Evolving, Cross Domain, Distributed and Very Dynamic Technologies and Elements

The Virtualized Data Center - The New Challenges

Abstracted infrastructure and resources• Management tools and process must focus on each

horizontal layers rather than each on vertical silos

Very dynamic environment• The rate of change is much higher than in traditional

systems. The dynamic nature enables IT to run at the speed of the business

No one team has a complete view of the world• The infrastructure team need to know what applications are

running within their infrastructure , but they don’t have the awareness of that

New virtualization subject matter expert• needs visibility of problems across large number of elements,

all domains including storage and network

Shared Resources through Infrastructure Abstraction

• Support for over 100 types of IT components

• Flexible offerings agent, agent-less , Smart Plug-in solutions

• Powerful troubleshooting tool, embedded with workflows to diagnose problems quickly

Proactive alerting and notification• Powerful alerting capabilities allow you to identify and fix issues

before they become problems

• Remotely monitor workloads and virtualization infrastructure

Private and public cloud• Monitor internal resources and public cloud services

• HP Cloud Services, Amazon EC2 CloudWatch, MS Azure

Private cloud

Public cloud


HP Software Virtualization ManagementVirtualization Smart Plug-in (VISPI) - Key Values

Continuous, nearly real time monitoring of hosting server, VMs for availability and performance

Helps to discover and visualize virtualized element topology associations, and applications

Able to identify, graph, and report the resource utilization of hosts and VMs

Ability to monitors the diagnostic events from multi vendor Hypervisors and Virtualized Environment

Central, easy-to use console for the virtualized systems and application monitoring distributed VM environment


VI SPI: Monitors Health & Resource UtilizationDetect the failures and performance bottlenecks

• Monitor the health of host systems based on its memory utilization

• Memory usage by guest operating systems and resource pools, and CPU utilization of host systems

• Monitor network interface In-Byte and Out-Byte

• Monitor the storage and disk utilization

• Baselining and adaptive thresholding


VI SPI: Understand actual VM stateDrill Down to the VMs and Workloads

• Auto discover your virtualized

environment including the guest

environment

• Understand VM movements and status

• Detect and manages the outage

scenarios of different VMs

• Monitor Workloads and, guest to host

correlation


HP Software Virtualization ManagementVirtual Performance Viewer (vPV) - Key Values

A new troubleshooting tool, embedded with workflows to diagnose problems quickly

Quick time-to-value - visualize the data in less than 15 minutes from the time you start the installation

At-a-glance overview of the virtualized environment (tree-map and reports) -with the ability to drill down into specific performance bottlenecks for ad hoc analysis

Vendor Agnostic – debugging different vendor environment centrally from a single pane of glass

New Product


vPV: At a Glance View of Virtualized EnvironmentsTree-map to view the system at a glance

Tree-map is commonly used in finance, stock-trading websites etc., to analyze patterns of ‘interesting’ behavior of stocks, commodity prices

Provides the ability to identify patterns of problems, across elements of similar type

Ordered listing of elements based on various factors –such as # of CPU cores or size of memory for hosts, or most dynamic to least dynamic (for a DRS cluster)

Grouping and filtering to view hierarchy as well as ‘interesting’ subset

Switch between hosts, VM, storage and other views easily via a navigation dashboard


vPV: Deep insight into your virtual environment Performance workbench

• Explorer view of the environment

• Visualize performance of the entities and do triage

• Navigate on a time-range

• Assess problems that have occurred in the past

• Compare systems using performance counters


vPV: Understand the trends and Operational summaryReports and Dashboards

• Inventory report for virtualized elements

• Trends of usage, activity, utilization of different metrics

• Top and bottom Utilization of different metrics

• Hourly, daily, weekly reports in different formats

• Export and email reports


vPV: Integrated Virtual and Physical MonitoringIntegration with Performance Manager, Operations Agent, and BSM

• Launch HP Performance Manager graphs from vPV

• Integrate physical and workload view

• Embedded in BSM Mashup for seamless user experience.

HP’s solution for virtualization






RTSM as the foundation for integrating data

1. Single screen tool - No more silos

2. Correlate the relationships between the Business Services and the infrastructure

3. Identify the changes in your dynamic, virtual environment

4. Forecasting of a specific metric or trend

5. Customizable reports to see what you want to see

HP Service Health Reporter

Improve business services with cross domain reporting

Infrastructure metrics

Application metrics







Optimize cost and performance ofcloud services

AnticipateIssues before they occur


HP Service Health Optimizer (SHO) – discover existing capacity

Optimize by visualizing existing capacity

• Understand how much capacity do I have and how much do I use

• Across datacenter, by Business Service, by cluster

• Across Physical, VMware, Hyper-V resources

• To test my infrastructure keep up with end-user responses

• Identify idle and powered-off VMs resulting in a VM sprawl

• Identify servers are under or over-configured


SHO: Visualization of efficiency and wastageInventory view, VM Sizing Analysis, & VM Activity pie-chart

• Identify usage, and over-allocations

• Detect over-sized and under-sized VMs

• VM activity charts showing distribution of idle, powered-off and active VMs

• Calculate the over-allocation percentage

• Identify the optimization opportunities

• Identify wastage of resources from SHO activity pie, including storage waste, and unnecessary resource allocations.


SHO: Optimize the infrastructure capacityExact “recipe” for how to place VM workloads

• Detect whether my VMs sized correctly

• Helps to determine right VM size for my physical server

• Plan headroom for unexpected spikes

• Check if new workload fits in existing cluster

• Recommendations to right-size VMs

• Apply recommendations


SHO: Forecast and Plan For Future NeedsForecast the trend and capacity planning

• Identify the trends and capacity requirements

• Detect room for growth – across data centers, and across clusters

• Forecast when out of capacity

• What-if analysis to add or remove or modify - work loads, servers, memory or CPU.

• Correlate capacity requirements and server models
