Veeam nworks Management Pack for VMware

VMware Monitoring with Microsoft System Center
Veeam nworks Management Pack for VMware v5.5
Protect your investments in Microsoft System Center and manage your physical and virtual environment from one console with the Veeam nworks Management Pack™ for VMware. The nworks Management Pack provides scalable, fault-tolerant and agentless VMware infrastructure monitoring and management directly in Microsoft System Center, eliminating the need for a separate monitoring framework.

Protect your investments in System Center
The nworks Management Pack leverages and protects the investments you've already made in System Center by bringing VMware into the fold. It preserves the integrity of your unified Operations Manager console and the IT policies and practices you've built around System Center. You maintain compliance even as your environment changes and grows.

Manage everything from one console
With the nworks MP, you can manage everything from the Ops Manager console— physical and virtual. Operators have a complete view of the entire IT infrastructure, so they can identify the source of any problem and escalate it to the correct team to speed problem resolution and minimize impact on users. You get 24x7 monitoring of VMware with the operations personnel you already have in place.

Eliminate additional monitoring frameworks
With the nworks Management Pack, you avoid the expense of buying, deploying, learning and maintaining another monitoring framework. You eliminate additional agents and administrative overhead, and instead leverage the expertise and the system you already have in place. And because the nworks MP is built on System Center—and not simply connected to it—you get complete visibility and seamless management of VMware in Ops Manager.

Enterprise strength
The nworks Management Pack provides continuous monitoring of the largest, most demanding virtual environments. It features a centrally managed, distributed architecture for horizontal "no limits" scalability and automatic failover and load balancing for high availability. Optimized, user-configurable data publication methods and use of consecutive sample monitors, optimized performance providers and other advanced features of System Center deliver maximum information with minimal overhead.

Complete integration
The nworks MP integrates fully with both VMware and Microsoft System Center. It enables all System Center functionality—including alerts, diagrams, dashboards, reporting, auditing, notifications, responses and automation—for all VMware components, including vCenter, clusters, hosts, virtual machines, storage and hardware. It includes a detailed health model with hundreds of metrics and events, including advanced metrics such as memory pressure and disk I/O per second that are unique to nworks, as well as a comprehensive knowledge base that serves as your VMware "expert in a box."

While the nworks MP itself collects VMware data agentlessly, it fully integrates application data from agents running inside virtual machines. In this way, it provides end-to-end visibility from the physical server, to the hypervisor, to the virtual machines and the applications and services running there.

Proven architecture
The nworks MP collects data agentlessly from the vSphere API, eliminating the "tunnel vision" of an OS agent running in the VM and the overhead, risk and limited lifespan of an agent running in the hypervisor. The nworks MP has proven itself in more than 500 enterprise deployments. It's a scalable, reliable and mature solution that performs well with both VMware and System Center.

New perspectives
The nworks Management Pack provides flexible views of your virtual environment. For example, you can view information by department or location, or set up thresholds and alerts by server function or service-level agreement. The nworks MP integrates with Veeam Business View™, a no-cost utility that automatically categorizes virtual resources according to your particular rules, to streamline administration and ensure that every VM is monitored according to business priorities.

Closing the loop
The nworks MP now includes the new nworks PRO Pack™ for VMware. Together, the nworks MP and PRO Pack close the loop on VMware monitoring by automating problem resolution using System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
