Karthik PR - PeerSpot reviewer

I use the solution for customer management and the vDA environment to implement and deploy the solution. We can deploy 300 or 400 VMs in a fraction of a second. I also use the solution for cluster management, with more than three or four hosts, managing everything in a single window.

We use the solution for patch management. When you are using different tools like antivirus tools for patch management, there may be a separation between operating systems, such as Linux and Windows. For Windows, there are many ways to use vCenter.

I use the solution in my company for all kinds of configurations, ranging from basic to advanced. With the tool, you can also add all upgrade plans with some customers' migration plans. I did three projects in Canada during the current year involving migration from VMware to Nutanix. I have done many things related to VMware and Nutanix.

We used to rely on traditional methods for managing edge management software, but now we utilize a virtual platform. We are using Window’s own patch management system based on the operating system. We would retrieve updates from the internet and evaluate which security patches are necessary for our servers. Only those patches deemed essential for server security are downloaded and applied.

Manager at a media company with 10,001+ employees

We have some customers in our company, and we deliver the virtual infrastructure throughout the vCenter portal. We get them some resource pools, and they manage the resource pools. In some cases, if you want to have, for example, a resource manager portal, you can use the Cloud Director. But in most cases, we use the vCenter as a resource pool manager. We also use Vcops for operations management, insight manager, and VMware vRealize Log Insight.

We use the tool as a centralized configuration and management tool for large ESXi clusters. Additionally, it offers plugins for storage management. For instance, there's a plugin for NetApp storage that integrates with it. Consequently, you can now manage storage directly from within the product. It has compliance and monitoring features as well.

We use vCenter Configuration Manager at least four times a year. We start at the baseline, deploy the virtual machine's upgrade, and set the new parameters for the virtual machine. 

We use vCenter Configuration Manager for the configuration of vCenter, the DC host, and all the HP. Every time the HP sends logs or patches, we deploy them through vCenter Configuration Manager. We also use the vRealize Log Insight. I'm connected at this moment through vCenter.

We are responsible for the planning stage only, and we gradually do monthly-based monitoring and capacity utilization of the IT infrastructure. Based on our findings, we do some brainstorming to determine if there was an error or if it was due to less processing or storage capacity or memory management, those kind of things. So we use this program to do internal planning, basically.

We use Configuration Manager at one or two companies where we provide services. I live in Fiji and people don't really go into the detail of compliance and automated configuration. Most things are generally done manually so with the implementation of Configuration Manager it becomes automated. There are some reporting and management tasks involved. We're partners with vCenter and I'm the IT general manager.
