OmniVision produces analytical reports that provide a complete picture of a virtualised system’s behaviour:

For physical servers, to optimise the use of global resources,

For virtual machines, to ensure global monitoring of performance quality and server and management reports for managers of distributed IT systems.

Assistance in preparing a virtualisation project

Every virtualisation project begins with a feasibility study and a review of the existing IT environment. It is essential for decision makers to possess a complete and objective view of the current IT system in order to decide how to migrate to a virtualised environment.

Thanks to the automatic information generated by OmniVision’s ready-to-use analytical reports you can identify:

Activity profiles for servers and applications,

Peaks and troughs in systems usage,

Activity trends,

Common, structural and seasonal occurrences,

Events that could put quality performance at risk.

The ability to collect detailed data efficiently and continuously gives visibility of the IT system’s behaviour with a complete analysis of indicators that allow you to identify:

Appropriate or inappropriate targets for virtualisation,

The most suitable sizing for your virtual environment,

Saturation issues that need to be resolved prior to migration.

Virtualised environment reports

Migrating operating systems to virtualised environments allows enterprises to significantly reduce costs and improve quality. However, this comes at a price: a new level of complexity is introduced, with attendant risks, and pressure is high to demonstrate return on investment.

OmniVision’s analytical reports let virtualised platform administrators get the most from the global resources provided by physical machines while giving them total control of these systems. They are able to detect which servers are not using CPU, memory and disk resources at an optimum level or where resources are not well-distributed across virtual machines. They are also able to identify whether physical machines have sufficient resources to support new virtual machines or if further resources can be attributed to a virtual machine without producing a negative effect on other machines.

OmniVision reports provide distributed IT system managers with performance quality and capacity information for virtual machines. IT managers can then identify and isolate unusual behaviour occurring across their systems such as structural problems, saturation risks and quality issues.

With OmniVision, virtualised system monitoring is easily integrated into the global monitoring of the entire IT system. OmniVision allows enterprises to incorporate virtual servers into their existing server pool and effects effi cient monitoring of the entire server park. OmniVision dashboards also provide users with historical data regarding the IT system’s behaviour, from which performance quality before and after migration to a virtual environment can be compared.

OmniVision supplies factual data that allows managers to communicate objectively about performance quality and to support capacity decisions such as where, when, and how much investment should be made (from trend analyses) and what charge-back is appropriate according to allocated resources versus used resources, etc.

OmniVision and virtualisation – benefits and return on investment

Only OmniVision gives a seamless view across virtual and traditional systems, providing easily understood exceptionbased reporting that makes it possible to get the best value for money and best performance from every server.
