VIRTUALIZATION 3.5
• Object Relationships – In vCenter easily navigate and explore object relationships for virtual machines, with hosts,
storage, and networking. Integrated topology maps provide a visual representation of relationships.
3
Requires SCOM, SCVMM provides limited
insight into object relationships from many
of its views
No
• Topology Maps – Integrated topology maps provide a visual representation of relationships
3
Requires SCOM, SCVMM is limited to
network relationships only
No
• Intelligent Operations Groups – Create custom intelligent operations groups based on business needs, applications,
service levels, location, or departments. Automatically add new members with Dynamic Membership.
3
Dynamic groups involving applications and
systems running Linux or Unix require
management pack authoring
No
• Proactive Smart Alerts – Instead of simple monitoring based on static performance thresholds, proactively identify
performance problems in your environment dynamically. Uses patented analytical algorithms to learn behavior of
the environment and dynamically create thresholds.
3
SCOM’s self-tuning thresholds are dicult to
administer. They are flawed with an
architecture that allows for a reset of the
learning period whenever the health service is
started. This results in a reset of historical
analytics and the repetition of unnecessary
alarms. Administrators will often resort to
using static thresholds instead
No
• Performance Monitoring Charts with Real Time and Historical Data – Troubleshoot performance issues and view
comprehensive real-time data for multiple objects in vCenter Server.
– Monitor and analyze virtual machines, resource pools and server utilization and availability with detailed
performance graphs
– Performance metrics can be defined with several levels of granularity and can be viewed in real time, or across a
specified time interval through the same interface
– Aggregated charts show high-level summaries of resource distribution that is useful to identify the top
consumers, with the ability to drill-down to more granular data
– Thumbnail views of hosts, resource pools, clusters, and datastores allow for easy navigation to the individual charts
3
SCVMM lacks comprehensive real time
monitoring. Administrators seeking these
same capabilities provided in vCenter will
need to use a combination of Microsoft tools
with no centralized dashboard and limited
built-in metrics
RHEV Reporting is a separate component
and only includes basic historical
performance monitoring and lacks real-time
data collection
• Root Cause Analysis - Automated root-cause analysis and recommended remediation actions help you identify and
eliminate potential bottlenecks. Automated remediation through orchestration workflows.
3
Requires extensive setup and customization
in SCOM
No
• Capacity Optimization and Forecasting – Identify capacity shortfalls and over-provisioning. Reclaim resources
from powered-o and idle virtual machines so you can right-size virtual machines and increase consolidation ratios.
3
Requires extensive setup and customization
of views and reports in SCOM
No
• Reporting – Built-in reports allow for easy setup and notification of common operational issues. Schedule and run
on demand reports that can be easily configured with email notifications to individuals or groups at a specified
interval. Easily export data from vCenter to HTML and Excel formats for quick detailed performance and
configuration metrics.
3
There is no ability to easily export data from
SCVMM. Reporting requires extensive setup
and customization of views and reports in
SCOM
RHEV Reporting, a separate component
based on open source reporting tools, adds
limited historical reporting and dashboards
