Cloud solutions provider VMware (www.vmware.com) announced on Tuesday it has unveiled its strategy and a new solution VMware vCenter Operations to simplify and automate how IT organizations manage services in dynamic virtual and cloud environments.
The move comes a month after the release of VMware vCloud Connector, a free plug-in that lets administrators immediate deployment and management of virtual machines across its cloud services within the VMware vSphere client.
According to the press release, VMware vCenter Operations will help customers "transform IT operations to achieve the agility and economics of cloud computing."
VMware vSphere has helped thousands of companies transform their data centers, simplifying many core systems management functions, such as resource allocation and load balancing, by building them into the virtualization platform.
Building on this, the company said its management strategy is to further simplify IT by integrating performance, capacity and configuration management and applying analytics to help customers achieve the degree of automation they need to operate a cloud environment.
"IT management is being turned on its head as enterprises expand their virtual infrastructures to achieve improved efficiencies and responsiveness," says Ramin Sayar, VP product strategy of enterprise management at VMware. "Increasingly, our customers are realizing 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 modernize their operations and take the next step in the journey towards a more simplified, agile approach to IT."
vCenter Operations will be integrated with VMware vSphere, understand its advanced infrastructure management functionality and able to collect data from its underlying physical components as well as other management tools within the enterprise.
It will then analyze the millions of data points these systems generate in real-time to retrieve important information and present it in a simple way through dashboards.
This means infrastructure and operations teams will have the intelligence they need to make fast, informed operational decisions in order to proactively ensure service levels in dynamic cloud environments, get to the root cause of performance problems faster, optimize deployments in real time to enable self-service provisioning, and maintain compliance in the face of constant change.
vCenter Operations is designed as a set of products and solutions that will bring together the performance, capacity and configuration management capabilities VMware has developed and acquired, including VMware vCenter Capacity IQ, VMware vCenter Configuration Manager and Integrien Alive.
vCenter Operations will be available in three editions -- Standard, Advanced and Enterprise -- to meet the needs of customers managing both VMware vSphere-virtualized and physical environments.
The first versions of these editions will be available at the end of the first quarter with prices starting at $50 per VM.
vCenter Operations will be available through VMware sales and via VMware's more than 25,000 channel partners.
