PREDICT Move Workloads Before Any Contention Occurs 3 With the game-changing capabilities of Predictive DRS, integrated with vRealize Operations, solve performance problems before they happen. Sophisticated analytics identify patterns and create a band of what is “normal” for each metric/object combination Balance workloads in advance of demand spikes using Dynamic Thresholds and forecasted utilization metrics Predict future demand and determine when and where hot spots will occur Reduce moves for predictable VMs over time by eliminating potential resource contentions Minimize overhead by only moving required workloads NEW! VM VM VM VM BALANCE Spread Workloads Across Clusters Leverage Intelligent Workload Placement and Rebalance, using DRS and VMware vRealize Operations together, to achieve optimal balance across the entire environment. Mitigate the risk of growing workloads by balancing workloads across hosts and clusters Control your overhead tolerance by setting the amount of balance you want to drive Avoid hot spots by spreading workloads out evenly 2 VM VM VM VM VM VM Ensure workloads get the resources they need and applications remain healthy Minimize overhead by only moving VMs as needed Take control by easily adjusting from passive to aggressive load-balancing Automatically move VMs whenever contention occurs with VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). REACT Address Unexpected Resource Demands 1 Here are 3 ways to comprehensively and proactively manage resources in your data center: Need to meet SLAs and manage workload performance ?
