Veeam Management Pack for VMware ^{new v6}

Host failure modeling shows what will happen to CPU and memory if one host fails in a cluster

Capacity planning reports

Veeam MP offers four new capacity planning reports, built directly in Microsoft System Center:

• Host Failure Modeling
• Performance Forecast for Datastores
• Performance Forecast for vSphere Clusters
• Virtual Machine Capacity Prediction

To learn more about capacity planning for VMware,
see the Capacity Reports video.

Storage monitoring heatmaps

The datastore heatmap shows the fastest-growing VM in red

New heatmaps for datastore space and datastore performance usage provide an instant visual representation that uses color and graphics to show how rapidly your infrastructure is growing. You can see at a glance which VMs are the biggest, which are the fastest growing and drill down to find out why.

To learn more about storage heatmaps and other vSphere analysis reports, see the Analysis Report Tour video.

System Center 2012 dashboards

Real-time performance dashboard shows top VMs for disk traffic.

Real-time performance views of critical vSphere systems are presented in new dashboard views—such as ‘Top 10 hosts for CPU’ per-cluster and ‘Top 10 VMs for Disk I/O’ per datastore—that leverage System Center 2012 Operations Manager widgets.

To learn more about System Center 2012 Dashboards in Veeam MP v6, see Dashboard Tour video.

The Storage topology shows relationships and dependencies

New model for storage and network

Separate topology views of distributed storage, network and compute environments allow you to quickly browse relationships and dependencies among your critical applications, services and supporting virtual and physical infrastructures. You can link from the topology view directly to real-time dashboards and monitor key metrics, such as latency, provisioning and utilization.

To learn more about storage and network views,
see the Topology Views video.

Performance analysis and correlation monitors

These monitors accept inputs from multiple performance metrics and gather correlated data from other vSphere objects to help you solve problems faster. Dynamic correlated data is provided right in the alert description.

This Host CP alert shows the Top N VMs for CPU usage.

To learn more about performance analysis and correlation monitors,
see the Analysis Monitors and Dashboards video.

Out-of-the-box integration

Veeam MP enables all System Center functionality:

The VMware knowledge base articles include problem summaries, causes and recommended solutions.

• Alerts, diagrams, dashboards, reporting, auditing, notifications, responses and automation—for all VMware components, including vCenter Server, clusters, hosts, virtual machines, storage and hardware
• Built-in thresholds, graphs, and reports that provide a ready-to-use detailed health model with hundreds of metrics and events, including memory pressure, disk pressure and disk IOPS that are unique to Veeam MP
• A comprehensive VMware Knowledge Base that serves as your VMware "expert in a box," empowering front-line monitoring staff and reducing problem resolution time
