phatqWhat Is vRealize Operations Manager?
vRealize Operations Manager delivers intelligent operations management with application-to-storage visibility across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. Using policy-based automation, operations teams automate key processes and improve the IT efficiency.
Using data collected from system resources (objects),vRealize Operations Manager identifies issues in any monitored system component, often before the customer notices a problem. vRealize Operations Manager also frequently suggests corrective actions you can take to fix the problem right away. For more challenging problems, vRealize Operations Manager offers rich analytical tools that allow you to review and manipulate object data to reveal hidden issues, investigate complex technical problems, identify trends, or drill down to gauge the health of a single object.
Before proceeding, make sure you’ve read through the documentation on the topic, like the vROPS 8.5 Release Notes and the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix that provides details about the compatibility of vRealize Operations with VMware products.
