Session Title:

Top 10 Reasons vCenter is the Best Platform for Virtualization Management

Session Abstract:

VMware vCenter Server provides unmatched visibility and management of the workloads in your datacenter. From virtual machine provisioning to storage management to hypervisor host configuration, VMware's integrated solution enables administrators to do it all from a single interface. With vCenter Server 4.0, VMware raises the management bar even higher. Simplify configuration across multiple hosts with Host Profiles and automate tasks with new orchestration capabilities. Only vCenter proactively tracks over-provisioned storage resources to avoid the sudden shock of a full storage array - unlike the unsophisticated thin-provisioning found in less-mature products. Easily deploy new VMs with a workflow that was built for virtualization and non-destructively convert VMs to templates and back in seconds, without time-consuming copying of virtual disks. vCenter also leverages keen awareness of hypervisor performance characteristics to accurately report the metrics administrators need when managing consolidated workloads - without relying on multiple products, interfaces and in-guest software agents.
