VMvision is a feature within HPE InfoSight that provides deep visibility into the performance and
resource utilization of virtual machines (VMs) running on HPE Nimble Storage arrays. It offers an
agentless approach, meaning it does not require any additional software or agents to be installed on
the VMs or hosts. Instead, VMvision leverages the vCenter server appliance credentials to directly
gather data from the VMware environment.
Once integrated with vCenter, VMvision can collect and analyze VM-level performance data, such as
latency, IOPS, and throughput, in real-time. This data is then correlated with storage performance
metrics, allowing administrators to easily identify bottlenecks and optimize VM performance. The
agentless nature of VMvision simplifies the deployment process and reduces the management
overhead associated with performance monitoring.
Unlike traditional performance monitoring tools that may require configuring SNMP traps or
deploying agents on each VM, VMvision’s integration with InfoSight streamlines the process by using
existing vCenter APIs to gather the necessary data. This approach not only ensures a seamless
integration but also enhances the accuracy of the performance insights provided by InfoSight.
