This is short demonstration video of Veeam Business View a new feature-enabling technology that unleashes the power of Veeam Monitor and other Veeam tools
consider your current virtual infrastructure. Is it aligned to your business needs?
Can you track VMs by function?
Can you track VMs by department or business unit?
•Does the datacenter tree structure available in vCenter meet your monitoring and reporting needs?
•How do you show each department or business unit their allocated virtual resources?
VMware provides limited capabilities for VMs categorization. VM folders, for example, are limited to only one categorization dimension and one vCenter. To resolve this, some customers are using custom attributes. But setting custom attributes manually is a very time consuming and error-prone process. Besides, as your environment grows, it becomes increasingly hard to maintain up-to-date information.
What if you had an easy and automated way to categorize virtual machines across multiple vCenters, providing an easy way to get reports on resource consumption department or function? Then Veeam Business View is the right product for you.Veeam Business View provides an easy way to do categorization of your VMware vSphere environment into business terms such Business Unit, Department, Server Role, or Service Level Agreement.
Veeam Business View gives you ability:
•To Monitor and Report your virtual environment from a business perspective
•Manage VMs by business requirements.
•Automate your VM categorization process
•See resource allocation and utilization across your business
•Create chargeback reports and control VM sprawl.
Lets see how Business View can completely redefine your VMware monitoring experience with Veeam Monitor.
Starting from version 4.5, Veeam Monitor is fully integrated with Veeam Business View. You see the Business View available in the management tree. The usual infrastructure view is still available any time if you need to perform infrastructure monitoring, for example review ESX host load.
We have 3 business categories defined in our demo environment Business Unit, Department and Purpose - as you can see we have grouped all our Exchange servers are now being monitored on the consolidated dashboard. Here, you have a single view on all key metrics such as Cpu, Memory, Disk and others. But only for the Exchange servers, not mixed up with all the other servers in the environment . So, your application team can now easily see top resource-consuming Exchange servers by simply clicking the Tops tab.
What about setting custom thresholds for the mission-critical VMs with higher Service Level Agreements or for the specific group of applications, for example Exchange Servers? This means you no longer have to set such alerts individually on each Exchange serveryou only need to create this alert in one place.
With the help of Business View, you can now set custom alerts on your selected mission-critical VMs in Veeam Monitor. For example, for our Exchange Servers group we have a number of dedicated alarm rules, each with custom threshold levels. Each alarm can be adjusted separately and an appropriate action - email, SMNP or script - can be triggered on exceeding the thresholds. Moreover, any new Exchange Server added to the environment will be automatically classified and will automatically fall in the monitoring scope of these rules.
You have just seen the Power of Veeam Business View and how it enables business-driven VMware Monitoring and reporting with Veeam Monitor. Veeam Business View help you to
•Manage VMs by business requirementsto address real-world management, monitoring and reporting needs of your infrastructure.
•Automate your VM categorization process to save time and reduce errors associated with manual custom attribute processing
•See resource allocation and utilization across your business to quickly determine departments or business units where resource usage grows out of proportion.
•Create chargeback reports and facilitate other important activities to make your VMware environment completely transparent for executive management.
