Effortless Energy Savings – Air Conditioning Control with VMware Aria Operations
In a series of recent blog posts, I’ve delved into the fascinating realm of VMware Aria Operations, uncovering its remarkable capabilities in analyzing energy consumption, energy costs, and carbon emissions attributed to diverse elements within a Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). Beyond just elucidating these features, I’ve also spotlighted the seamless integration of Aria Operations …
Fixing “Virtual Machine Power Metrics Display in mW” using Aria Operations
In the VMware Aria Operations 8.6 (previously known as vRealize Operations), VMware introduced pioneering sustainability dashboards designed to display the amount of carbon emissions conserved through compute virtualization. Additionally, these dashboards offer insights into reducing the carbon footprint by identifying and optimizing idle workloads. This progress was taken even further with the introduction of Sustainability …
Energy Consumption Data in VMware Aria Operations for Applications (FKA Tanzu Observability, FKA Wavefront)
My last posts focused on sustainability and how VMware Aria Operations can help get more insights into energy consumption, infrastructure efficiency and how to improve operations and make the virtual infrastructure more sustainable. In this post I will describe how I used an old Raspberry Pi, a DHT22 sensors, few Shelly Plug S smart plugs …
VMware Aria Operations Near Real-Time Monitoring Option and Power Metrics
One of the advantaged of VMware Aria Operations Cloud over the on-premises option is the availability of Near Real-Time Monitoring for the most important vSphere metrics. This is especially very helpful when troubleshooting short-lived issues. However, this option brings with it a small challenge, especially if some of such near real-time metrics are later used …
