Overview:

Leverage your investment in HP Software Operations Manager to confidently give operations personnel the ability to assume routine VMware infrastructure monitoring. Free up VMware professionals to focus on troubleshooting, capacity planning and other specialized tasks.

The innovative nworks Collector does not require agent software on ESX hosts, which eliminates any risk of agent software impacting ESX availability. Because the nworks SPI uses the VMware API, ESXi is fully supported. Learn more about VMware monitoring and management with HP Operations Manager plugin

The nworks SPI provides distributed monitoring and management of the VMware infrastructure (VI3 and vSphere) fully integrated into HP Operations Manager. It publishes VMware configuration, performance, state, capacity, topology, and VMware vCenter™ events directly into HP Operations Manager, giving you a common view across your physical and virtual infrastructures.

What’s New in nworks Smart Plug-in 5.0 for VMware:
 

The nworks Smart Plug-in for VMware 5.0 updates Veeam’s leading-edge integration for distributed VMware Infrastructure monitoring and management for HP Operations Manager for Unix and Windows.

Responding to customer feedback and continuing to work closely with VMware, version 5.0 includes the following enhancements while maintaining VMware VI3 backward compatibility:

New in version 5.0:
  • VMware vSphere 4 support
  • Centralized management
  • High availability
  • Load balancing

Support for VMware vSphere, vCenter v4.0 and ESX v4.0

nworks SPI for VMware v5 has full native support for vSphere VI-API v4.0, with many new events, policies, monitors and topology objects. VMware Ready Optimized certification means you stay future-proofed and are able to monitor and use all vSphere features with full confidence from HP OMU and OMW.

vSphere Feature Support

Full VMware vSphere feature support with preconfigured monitoring of:

  • Distributed Power Management
  • Host Profiles
  • Virtual Applications
  • VM Fault Tolerance

nworks Management Center

The nworks Management Center, a web-based nworks Collector administration interface provides centralized configuration of a group of nworks Collectors. The nworks Management Center has enterprise class features with lower administration overhead, simplified deployment and configuration, and high availability.

High Availability

The nworks Management Center, leveraging its centralized license and configuration capabilities, provides high availability through “Hot-Standby” nworks Collectors. An nworks Collector ‘heartbeat’ failure triggers redistribution of the failed nworks Collector’s management jobs to standby nworks Collectors.

Load Balancing

Deployment and configuration tasks are further automated through the load-balancing feature of the nworks Management Center. In multiple nworks Collectors implementations, monitoring Jobs are automatically assigned using the Balance feature, eliminating individual nworks Collector configuration.

License Server

Centralized management for licensing across multiple nworks Collector servers, greatly simplifying deployment tasks and ongoing management overhead for dynamically growing environments. The License Server manages a pool of licenses across all nworks Collectors, automatically distributing licenses as required.

Features and Benefits:

Single, common management console

Equip your 24/7 operations staff to perform routine VMware infrastructure monitoring without specialized virtualization expertise. The nworks SPI provides everything you need for comprehensive VI monitoring including out-of-the-box thresholds, targeting, event suppression, and knowledge base data using the full power of HP Operations Manager.

Future-proof solution

The nworks Collector component provides agentless monitoring of the VMware infrastructure, eliminating the risk of agent software impacting ESX host stability and performance. Because nworks uses the VI API, there is no need for agent recertification for new hypervisor versions or patches, and full ESXi support is provided. Qualified through the VMware Ready testing process by VMware, the nworks SPI is certified as VMware Ready Optimized, providing you assurance that this solution is secure, stable, safe to deploy and offers the lowest integration cost for VMware environments. The nworks SPI version 5.0 delivers native support for VMware’s latest vSphere events and capabilities, enabling an in-depth and comprehensive integration between the VMware infrastructure and HP Operations Manager.

Proactively monitor virtual infrastructure resources

Integrate visibility of key VI data into HP Operations Manager:

  • Virtual machine metrics such as CPU ready time, swapfile usage and balloon memory
  • Physical ESX host hardware sensors such as fan speed, chassis temperature, and power consumption
  • ESX hypervisor metrics such as HBA I/O and latency, swapfile performance, and datastore space
  • vCenter events on DRS, HA, VM deployment, licensing, permissions, configuration and more

Comprehensive end-to-end monitoring

The nworks SPI for VMware provides integration of application and service data with the vSphere topology. In addition to comprehensive agentless monitoring, the SPI for VMware leverages data from Operations Manager agents running inside Windows VMs. This breakthrough functionality enables a fully integrated picture, with end-to-end monitoring extending all the way from VI-datacenter, to ESX cluster, to ESX host, to VM, to enterprise applications such as SQL Server, Active Directory, and Microsoft Exchange running inside virtual machines.

Enterprise-class scalability and performance

The nworks MP includes all the components needed for secure, enterprise-ready operations with a distributed architecture, high availability, and automatic load-balancing, offering continuous monitoring of the largest ESX environments with maximum efficiency and minimal overhead.

Centralized management for licensing and configuration across multiple nworks Collector servers greatly simplifies deployment tasks and ongoing operations overhead for dynamically growing environments. The nworks Management Center manages multiple Collectors, automatically distributing licenses and monitoring tasks as required and dynamically load balancing for maximum performance and continuous monitoring for your business-critical VMware systems.

Extensive report and graph library

The nworks Smart Plug-in for VMware includes an extensive and growing library of reports and graphs for HP Reporter, Performance Manager and Performance Insight. View availability and performance data for virtual and physical servers by customer, location or groups of your own design. Chart cluster and resource pool utilization and host hardware sensor data. Customize reports and graphs to fit your VMware infrastructure needs using HP tools.

New in version 5.0

With new version 5.0 you can benefit from:

  • Support for VMware vSphere, vCenter v4.0 and ESX v4.0 - nworks SPI for VMware v5 has full native support for vSphere VI-API v4.0, with many new events, policies, monitors and topology objects
  • nworks Management Center - a web-based nworks Collector administration interface provides centralized configuration of a group of nworks Collectors, enabling Collectors' high-availability and load balancing of monitoring jobs
  • License Server - the License Server manages a pool of licenses across all nworks Collectors, automatically distributing licenses as required

Veeam Business View integration

Veeam Business View uses custom attributes to define groups in HP Operations Manager to create custom thresholds, dashboards and views according to your own criteria such as business unit, department, location, purpose, SLA etc., instead of their VMware infrastructure location. Business View helps you prioritize resource allocation, perform chargeback and control VM sprawl.
