Enterprises are building real-time virtualized IT infrastructures, virtual desktop infrastructures, and private clouds to fundamentally transform the way they deliver services. These new IT infrastructures and service delivery models present significant additional challenges to enterprise ITSM processes and IT staff whicha are already challenged by the increased complexity and management issues of virtualization.

ManageIQ's Enterprise Virtualization Management™ (EVM™) Suite provides the insight, control, integration, and automation capabilities you need to effectively manage your virtual IT infrastructure, virtual desk, and private cloud environments. The EVM Suite™ helps enterprises to quickly get insight and visibility, establish controls and enforce policies, automate and delegate management activities, and achieve strategic integration with closed-loop automation for IT service management processes across their virtual environments.

The EVM Suite is built on ManageIQ’s unique, patent-pending Adaptive Management Platform™ which provides essential management capabilities necessary for real-time, policy-based adaptive management and automation. The EVM Suite™ composed of four tightly integrated components, EVM Insight™, EVM Control™, EVM Automate™, and EVM Integrate™, provides the insight, control, automation, and integration necessary to secure, manage, optimize, and automate these virtual environments.

EVM Insight™

EVM Insight provides comprehensive, real-time visibility into virtual infrastructures, virtual desktop, and private cloud environments. Automated discovery, continuous tracking, and real-time monitoring combined with automatic, policy-based classification enable role-driven visibility. Comprehensive visibility includes real-time, configuration, capacity, and utilization information correlated with event and performance data. EVM Insight maintains current and historical information including change tracking, baselining, configuration drift, and relationship mapping.

EVM Control™

EVM Control™ provides real-time, policy-based management and control for virtual infrastructures, virtual desktop, and private cloud environments. Policy-based control can be applied at key operation, configuration, change, and VM lifecycle points as well as triggered by management events and administrative/operational activities. Policies can ensure the enforcement of IT, configuration, resource, security and operational standards to improve reliability, increase availability, and reduce risk.

EVM Automate™

EVM Automate provides adaptive, just-in-time model-based automation for virtual infrastructures, virtual desktop, and private cloud environments. It enables highly adaptive, model-driven, automation of administrative and operational activities. EVM Automate provides role-based, delegated administration, distributed operations, and self-service provisioning through an extensible web-based management portal. It also enables rich, context-aware automation and IT service, process, and task integration.

EVM Integrate™

EVM provides a rich set of integration capabilities across a wide range of management systems, platforms, and interfaces. These capabilities include Enterprise Directories, Service-Catalogs, Incident Management Systems, Configuration Management Databases (CMDB) , Event Consoles, IP Address Management(IPAM) systems, and Storage Management. Vendor and product specific integrations are available as well as a rich set of EVM web-services, and interfaces to LDAP, SNMP, SMTP, SMI-S, SQL, Ruby, Perl, Powershell and WMI.
