What enables all this automation and integrationEMC Storage Integrator (ESI)enabling provisioning, intelligent monitoring, efficient management

ESI ProvidesMMC GUI User Interface to connect Storage, Servers and Applications

PowerShell Interface for Scripting and furtherIntegration

Broad Support of HypervisorsHyper-V, Citrix XEN, VMware

Support forWindows Server 2008 and 2012Virtual and Physical

ESI Key Components

ESI GUIWizard-driven provisioning for Windows Servers, clusters, and SharePoint

ESI PowerShell ToolkitIntegration of EMC storage provisioning and features into PowerShell scripts

ESI SCO Integration PackAutomates provisioning of EMC arrays assets with Microsoft System Center Orchestrator (SCO)

ESI SCOM Management PackAllows monitoring of EMC arrays with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)

Configure storage using SCVMM 2012Create, discover and manage storage

SCVMM 2012 includes ability to manage storage Discover storage arrays Categorize storage pools Configure storage LUNs Rapid provisioning of VMs

Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) Developed by Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Standards based approach to manage storage

Demo

Monitor and manage my cloud

Built-in monitoring with System Center plug-ins Physical component health monitors When a warning or critical error is detected in a physical component, the health state of the affected component is changed and an alert is generated. The alert description and product knowledge can assist you in deciding what action is needed.

Logical component health monitorsWhen a warning or critical error is detected in a logical component, the health state of the affected component is changed and an alert is generated. The alert description and product knowledge can assist you in deciding what action is needed.

Capacity monitors Available capacity of storage and snapshot pools and groups are monitored. When available capacity is limited or over-subscribed, alerts are generated. This monitor allows a storage administrator to ensure that adequate capacity is available on a storage system.
