NEW: Version 2.0 lets you categorize more types of objects, integrate with CMDB data, and more.
Business categorizationVeeam Business View is an add-on that works with other Veeam products to provide business categorization for your VMware vSphere environment. Business View allows you to group, view and manage clusters, hosts, virtual machines (VMs) and datastores based on criteria such as business unit, department, location, purpose, SLA etc., instead of their VMware infrastructure location.

Why Veeam Business View |
|
|
VMware vCenter provides only an administrative (technical) view of the VMware infrastructure, showing VMs grouped by datacenters, clusters, or ESX and ESXi hosts. You can use VM folders to manually group VMs based on business criteria, but maintaining these folders requires daily error-prone manual procedures, and they are limited to only one categorization dimension. Veeam Business View offers an automated, flexible and dynamic way to group your virtualization objects within different categories: business unit, department, purpose and others. Thus, with Business View, you can see and manage your virtual infrastructure based on business needs and priorities. You have the flexibility to set these groups of objects with these categories according to your specific requirements. Business View uses VMware’s native custom attributes to categorize objects. Business View allows editing the attributes manually for one or multiple VMs at a time, or automatically based on pre-defined rules. For example, you can define an automated rule as “if a VM has retail in its name, add it to the Retail Banking category.” |

Data integration
Veeam Business View provides import and export interfaces that allow you to synchronize categorization data with CMDBs and other third-party applications, such as Active Directory. Data integration can even be performed automatically, freeing you from the manual effort of keeping all the views of your virtual infrastructure in sync.
Veeam Business View is available at no extra charge for use with Veeam Monitor, Veeam Reporter, the Veeam nworks Management Pack and the Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in.
