Last month, Alec King from Veeam and Microsoft MVP Pete Zerger of SystemCenterCentral.com presented a webinar about Veeam’s solution to monitor VMware environments within Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) via the nworks Management Pack for VMware. This webinar is a good example of how customers can leverage their Microsoft investments in System Center, yet provide a familiar monitoring platform to the VMware footprint within the organization.

The nworks Management Pack for VMware offers incredible visibility into the VMware vSphere environment by leveraging the VMware SOAP API. Not just is this smart, it is also cool. In the webinar, Alec and Pete explain how the management pack goes into the VMware vSphere environment to deliver very relevant information that infrastructure administrators can use to set very specific alerting and monitoring thresholds. Organizations that utilize Microsoft System Center Operations Manager will appreciate the seamless integration of this management pack for the VMware infrastructure. The webinar is available for on-demand replay here in Windows Media format.

Also during the webinar, 12 lucky attendees won a copy of the book System Center Operations Manager (OpsMgr) 2007 R2 Unleashed. Congratulations Dean, Bruno, Jeremy, Ralph, Jonathan, Ravi, Mikael, Shaun, Michael, James, Brian and Douglas! So, it pays to attend Veeam webinars!
