The Blue Medora FlexPod Bundle for vRealize Operations offers insight into your FlexPod infrastructure and resources with out-of-the-box dashboards and reports. In addition to product-specific dashboards as shown in the video above, the FlexPod Bundle offers dashboards and metrics to monitor FlexPod’s comprehensive infrastructure.

Within the FlexPod Bundle, you can leverage the overview dashboard, for instance, for a comprehensive view of all components, including Cisco UCS, Cisco Networking and NetApp Storage. In addition, you can extend visibility to other layers of the IT stack with management packs from Blue Medora, such as Oracle Database.

In addition to extended visibility, leverage relationship mapping, capacity definitions, and alerts and recommendations to pinpoint problems and dig into root-cause issues across the IT stack. As a result, you can drive better performance, simplify troubleshooting and eliminate alert storms across all components of your FlexPod environment.
