NetIQ AppManager for VMware comprehensive VMware Monitoring and Management solutions

NetIQ AppManager supports the hybrid physical-virtual environment, providing monitoring and management from the virtual infrastructure to the applications that support your business. With NetIQ AppManager for VMware, you can monitor, manage and report on your entire VMware virtual infrastructure—including vCenter servers, host servers and virtual machines—from one location

Key Features of NetIQ AppManager for VMware

Identify Virtualization Candidates & Validate Migrations

Pre-migration planning is critical to ensure a successful migration to the VMware infrastructure. Performance and security of virtualized servers requires a careful assessment along with post-migration validation. This can be achieved by:

• Baselining the performance and security of physical servers before migration
• Auditing the security configuration before and after migration, and evaluating changes
• Comparing both the performance and end user experience of virtual machines to their physical baselines

Manage Hybrid Physical and VMware ESX Environments

Unfortunately, identifying and resolving complex problems requires a more holistic view of the technology stack, from the network to the ESX Server to the VM operating systems and applications. This can be achieved by:

• Instrumenting and monitoring the performance of the hardware, hypervisor (ESX), operating systems, and applications
• Monitors end-user experience through application response times
• Generating reports to support diagnostics, problem management, capacity planning and VMware tuning

Secure and Audit the Virtual Infrastructure

Physical to virtual migrations open the door for compliance exceptions, even at the virtual machine level, by introducing changes to the original physical implementation. These risks can be addressed by:<

• Evaluating the security configuration of both the hypervisor (ESX) and the virtual machines
• Comparing post-migration configurations to pre-migration configurations
• Monitoring privileged user activity and changes at the virtual machines, avoiding the dependency on seeing network traffic

Key Features of Netiq AppManager for VMware Monitoring

Monitors host, virtual machine and vCenter resource utilization, such as Data Store and memory usage, CPU metrics, disk I/O, and host network I/O as well as resource pool and cluster CPU and memory usage, memory swap used, and memory ballooning.

Manages and monitors your hybrid virtual and physical infrastructure including hardware level monitoring with the same processes, reporting, and tools, and easily deployed, agent-less monitoring for the ESX Server and Virtual Center Server.

Visualizes VMware resources within your AppManager console, so you can manage and monitor your virtual infrastructure using the familiar VMware group structures. In addition, you can manage Resource Pools and VMware Clusters with automation and alerting.

 Manages multiple VirtualCenters and compares metric data from virtual machines managed by disparate VirtualCenter servers.
