How do Management Packs (Addons) developed by Indevops help maintain high availability of applications monitored by VCF for Operations?

On top of that, there are challenges with the end of support for some VMware by Broadcom plug-ins, but more on that later.

You learned that we have been involved with VMware VCF for Operations technology for years. We specialize in deploying the entire VCF private cloud. We can boast of many successful implementations, and most importantly, we influence the quality of IT services provided by our customers.

INDEVOPS is here to help you!

In recent months you have learned that VMware by Broadcom is ending support for some VCF for Operations plug-ins. Our customers with whom we have worked for years this inconvenience will not be affected, because they know they can count on us . Here are some of the most common problems and how Indevops can help customers:

1️⃣ Lack of full visibility into IT infrastructure and applications and the links between these topics.

Without accurate monitoring of the virtual environment, server infrastructure, arrays, networks and applications, it is difficult for complex, siloed teams that use different monitoring tools to quickly identify the cause of failure and where it occurred, which can lead to unexpected downtime.

💡Solution:

✅ Indevops Management Packs (Addons) the VCF for Operations tool (Aria Operations) with elements that you won’t find in VMware’s tool as standard. Through this we can take a comprehensive approach to all the components from which an application is built. Believe me these components from which one application is built can be even more than several hundred. This allows you to identify potential problems. In one tool we can see everything and we have ML (Machine Learning) at our disposal, nothing will hide from the eyes of the person who is supposed to react quickly and solve problems.

2️⃣ Manually managing IT processes

Manually sifting through logs from different sources and manually finding errors server by server, router by router, is a big challenge

💡 Solution:

✅ Indevops automates many of the processes involved in extending applications and IT infrastructure in cloud environment management tools. This saves you time and ensures that the process is flawless, standardized and all elements of the application are certainly monitored.

3️⃣ Lack of analysis of historical data

Without insight into historical data, it is difficult to assess the performance of the application and the IT infrastructure running on it.

💡 Solution:

✅ Indevops empowers you to analyze historical data and identify performance bottlenecks across all aspects of your application. Our core offering, VCF for Operations, seamlessly integrates with VCF for Logs—ensuring comprehensive log tracking across all locations—and VCF for Networks, which provides detailed insights into every packet’s journey through network devices.

While we believe our platform provides an all-in-one solution, we understand that unique IT infrastructure components or deep application-level insights may sometimes be required. In such cases, we deliver customized plug-ins for VCF for Operations to address specific needs.

This approach enables our customers to optimize resources effectively, eliminate bottlenecks, and automatically scale applications to handle increased user traffic.

4️⃣ Will a new Pack for VCF for Operations work properly and efficiently?

Creating new plugins for VCF is a challenge. An incorrectly implemented plug-in can affect the performance of our monitoring or lead to an incorrect display of application performance.

💡 Solution:

✅ Indevops management packs (Addons) are created according to a strict standard. Imagine creating thousands of virtual machines automatically every day for software development. It works like a well-run and automated Tesla production belt. Why is that? We create environments for developers, then testers, and finally we simulate running them in an environment similar to the production environment of our clients. This allows us to avoid errors, check performance and correct configuration. Customers get a warmed-up product.

5️⃣ Lack of plan for implementation and change rollback

Deployments without a plan and a change rollback can lead to prolonged downtime in case of failure. Often in immature IT organizations, this happens and leads to catastrophic consequences. I’ve heard it many times and seen it with my own eyes.

💡 Solution:

✅ Indevops provides comprehensive implementation documentation, including a detailed implementation plan and contingency strategies for exiting the implementation if needed. Additionally, we recommend and, upon request, maintain test, pre-production, and production environments for our clients.

Why is this important? Every plan must be thoroughly tested. By progressing through these structured environments, we ensure that the final outcome aligns with expectations. This step-by-step approach allows us to verify the plan at each stage and make necessary adjustments, ensuring a reliable and successful implementation.

Our goal is to give clients peace of mind, knowing their infrastructure is in expert hands. A solid night’s rest empowers everyone to tackle the challenges of the next day with renewed energy and confidence.
