What is the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter?

The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter (OMIVV) is designed to streamline the management processes in your data center environment by allowing you to use VMware vCenter Server to manage your entirefull server infrastructure - both physical and virtual. From monitoring system level information, bubbling up system alerts for action in vCenter, rolling out firmware updates for an ESXi orvSAN cluster thatcanleverageDRS, to bare metal deployment, the OpenManage Integration will expand and enrich your data center management experience with Dell EMC PowerEdge servers.

In addition to the integration for vCenter, OMIVV includes rights for a server management pack for vRealize Operations Manager. This leverages the vCenter integration to provide hardware alerts and new dashboards, giving hardware relationship mapping into the vRealize Operations data for better troubleshooting and combined reporting.
