Delivered in vROps 6.7• Real-Time Predictive Analytics, based on

industry-standard ARIMA statistical analysis model

• Improved capacity accuracy; including for Workload Optimization (aka Workload Balancing)

• Self-learning, updated in real-time; calculations available immediately

• Integrated costing with capacity

What’s New in vROps 7.0• Exponential decay to give more

relevance to changing patterns and react better to more recent spikes without losing periodicity

• Calendar aware periodicity to detect, the nth day of the month, the end of the month, and the first day of the month.

Workload Placement



Intent definition – Operational and Business

What is your target utilization objective?

• Balance - Workloads are evenly spread out

• Consolidate – Workloads are placed maximize utilization aka densification

How much risk is acceptable?

• Headroom provides a buffer of space for the cluster

• Reduces risk from bursts or unexpected demand

How to drive placement based on business needs?• Tags-based placement (Needs vCenter Tagging)

• SLA Tiers: Gold, Silver, Bronze• License Policies: Windows, Oracle, Linux• Compliance: PCI, HIPAA • App affinity policies

Continuous Workload Optimization Demo


World without continuous optimization

An application Owner complains to IaaS Team

that her app is slow.

She has verified that:

• Windows CPU and RAM utilization is good.

• Disk latency is good. No network drop packets.

DRoll up your

sleeve! You are born for this!

ACheck ESXi

utilization. If it’s low, tell her to

doubt no more.

CCall your VMware

TAM & MCS. That’s why you pay them

right?

B Buy her a nice lunch + flower.

Ask her to forget about it
