vCenter Operations Enterprise collects performance data from monitored software and hardware resources, stores it, analyzes it, and uses that analysis to provide you with real-time information about problems, or potential problems, anywhere in pour enterprise. It leverages the power of your existing system management tools by aggregating data from different sources and processing them with its proprietary analytic algorithms.

vCenter Operations Enterprise presents its data and analysis to you in several ways: through Smart Alerts that warn of potential or occurring problems, in configurable dashboards that can show the exact combination of data you want to see, on predefined pages that show commonly needed information, or in a number of predefined reports.
