Blue Medora released five new Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) Management Packs:
- Management Pack for Lenovo Compute
- Management Pack for Lenovo Network
- Management Pack for IBM DB2
- Management Pack for Cisco Nexus
- Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP
These vROps Management Packs, fully optimized for vRealize Operations 6.x systems, are aimed at providing deeper visibility into the health, availability, performance, capacity, and contextual relationships of the critical network and compute infrastructure of VMware vSphere.
On the networking front, Blue Medora’s new vROps Management Packs for Cisco Nexus, Lenovo Network, and F5 BIG-IP have been designed from the ground up to enhance and extend vROps’ ability to actively monitor top-of-the-rack, unified, and edge network fabrics to accurately pinpoint where abnormalities occur. These features allow service-impacting conditions to be uncovered before application performance is affected.
The Management Pack for Lenovo Compute, in addition to the previously released vROps Management Pack for Cisco UCS, expands vAdmins’ visibility into the underlying server hardware that underpins every vSphere ESX deployment. Native Lenovo Compute alerts are imported into vROps, along with with metrics displaying information about hardware status (fans, PSUs, etc.) and environmental information (power, temperature, etc.).
Finally, the Management Pack for IBM DB2 represents yet another step in Blue Medora’s quest to provide end-to-end management and monitoring for databases running on both VMware and non-VMware platforms. This Management Pack complements Blue Medora's already released management packs for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and SAP HANA. The Management Pack for IBM DB2 introduces a new capability: the ability to dive deeper into the SQL transactions themselves running within DB2.
Blue Medora’s newest releases extend the power of vROps 6.x with key features such as:
- Monitoring through a single pane of glass: View compute, network and storage infrastructure components as well the VMware-based virtual layer via a single pane of glass.
- Relationship mapping: End-to-end relationships between the app, storage, network, compute, storage, and virtual layers are automatically detected and created, making it easy to track issues through the system to their root cause.
- Predictive analytics: vROps’ machine learning capabilities alert administrators to unusual metric activity, revealing potential issues before they occur.
- Out-of-the-box dashboards: Out-of-the-box dashboards display key metrics and relationships, allowing for immediate insight into health and performance.
