What’s New in vRealize True Visibility

It’s been an exciting first year for vRealize True Visibility Suite – celebrating the 1.0 launch, our 1-year anniversary at VMware and many new customers that have brought extensibility to their IT operations. And while those milestones were exciting it doesn’t compare to what was going on behind the scenes.

This year we engaged with a third-party firm to study the current packaging of vRealize True Visibility Suite to make sure that the offering aligned with our customers’ needs. It involved countless hours of interviewing customers and exploring options of how we can best help our customers extend the incredible capabilities of vRealize Operations into the heterogenous data center.

Extending Visibility for all vRealize Operations Customers!

Deeper visibility + better troubleshooting = Stronger IT Operations

These relationship-aware, agentless management packs will bring the visibility needed into the physical infrastructure that is supporting your SDDC. With the addition of hundreds of key performance metrics for physical compute and storage you will be able to dive deeper into your environment to optimize performance and eliminate bottlenecks.

 With access to hundreds of out of the box dashboards, custom objects, alerts, and metrics you will be able to:

  • Perform rapid root cause analysis with relationship-aware connections and identify the root cause of problems faster.
  • Clear up alert storms with built-in policies that disengage alerts for your dev environment and other less-critical resources.
  • Deliver more value with a unified view from data center to applications and create a cohesive monitoring strategy.
