Product Features

• Real-time monitoring of dynamic virtual elements
  vCenter Server has deep awareness of all virtual elements and related physical components, including server hardware, shared storage and networking, with event and alarm triggers that make it easier to monitor the environment, diagnose and troubleshoot issues. vCenter Server monitors performance and availability of virtual machines and other virtual elements, such as resource pools with detailed statistics and graphs that can be viewed in real time.
• Customizable alarm triggers
  vCenter Server can generate automated notifications and alerts, and can trigger automated workflows to remedy and pre-empt problems.
• Simplified navigation and inventory search
  Use a global search function to access the entire inventory of multiple vCenter Servers, including virtual machines, hosts, datastores and networks, anywhere from within vCenter. An improved user interface allows for easier navigation.
• Rapid provisioning and simplified patch management
  Create new virtual machines or hosts in minutes using a wizard or template to minimize errors and downtime with configuration standards. Easily patch virtual machines and hosts using vCenter Update Manager, and standardize and validate host configuration using the host profiles feature.
• Dynamic resource allocation to ensure SLAs
  vCenter Server continuously monitors utilization across resource pools with VMware DRS, which intelligently migrates virtual machines across hosts without causing downtime or affecting service-level agreements (SLAs). The result is a self-managing, highly optimized and efficient IT environment with built-in load balancing.
• Workflow automation
  vCenter Server includes vCenter Orchestrator, a powerful orchestration engine that simplifies management by enabling administrators to automate over 800 tasks using out-of-thebox workflows or by assembling workflows using an easy drag-and-drop interface.
