How System Center 2012 Manages VMWare Infrastructure by Richard Qi

Windows Server and System Center forms the platform of Microsoft Private Cloud. One of the key capabilities that System Center 2012 delivers is heterogeneous management. You are empowered to manage different hardware, three major hypervisors in the market, different flavor of Enterprise grade OS, and different apps.

I always got asked how System Center 2012 manages VMWare environment. While here is a quick Demo video that I made to show you how System Center 2012 can do.

I showed two key capabilties

  • Manage vSphere cluter just as Hyper-V cluster and put them as pool of resources (ESX + Hyper-V) for Cloud.
  • Monitor VMware Infrastructure including discover the topology, monitor ESX hosts and underlying hardware (SAN, CPU utilization, Power, Memory etc.)

So sit back and enjoy the video.
