Increased Operational Efficiency
Automated Discovery
Solution Description
Challenge
Managing servers, networks, storage, and the various applications that run on them is cumbersome and nontrivial. It can be difficult when systems aren’t integrated and don’t readily communicate. Furthermore, different systems may require different controls, thus increasing management complexity.
Technology Solution
EMC Simplified Management solutions on VMware make managing virtualized systems on VMware simple and efficient. According to a 2012 Wikibon study, EMC has the most storage integrations with VMware.
The right integration enables you to provide higher service levels and manage larger environments easily, securely, and cost effectively. With more than 75 points of integration with VMware vSphere, EMC does the most to enhance performance, scalability, security, and ease-of-management of virtual environment.
With EMC Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI) for VMware vSphere, a plug-in to the VMware vSphere client, you gain a single management interface for provisioning, monitoring, and managing EMC storage within the vSphere environment. You can also use EMC PowerPath/VE for VMware vSphere, a multipathing extensions module for vSphere that works in combination with storage area network (SAN) to intelligently manage Fibre Channel, Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI), and Fibre Channel over Ethernet I/O paths.
With EMC Data Protection Advisor, you can automate and centralize the collection and analysis of your data for a single, comprehensive view of your data protection environment and activities. In addition, EMC Storage Resource Management delivers application-to-storage management for VMware environments to improve insight and optimize storage resources, resulting in better cost control even with continued data growth.
