vCenter Operations Manager deployment at FedEx Goals for vCOps deployment.

- Design an enterprise architecture for vCOps.

- We wanted to monitor our infrastructure and create detailed

views with drill-down capability for trouble shooting purposes

- Our ops team wanted to not only monitor our infrastructure but

be proactive in spotting issues before they became issues.

- App owners wanted to get better visibility for the infrastructure

behind their applications.
