Veeam ONE
VMware vSphere
Microsoft Hyper-V
Veeam ONE brings powerful
monitoring and reporting to
Hyper-V environments with System
Center Virtual Machine Managers
(SCVMMs), standalone hosts and
Failover Clusters. With out-of-thebox features like prebuilt alarms,
dashboards and reports, Veeam
ONE delivers built-in intelligence
that is immediately beneficial to
Hyper-V administrators.
Capacity planning
Trends and forecasting: Veeam ONE presents resource utilization graphs
for specified points in the future. Forecasts are based on analysis of historical
performance trends and current performance metrics.
Modeling: Host failure modeling and views of available capacity on hosts
for additional VMs help users determine whether there is enough capacity to
support current and future VM workloads.
WHATS NEW
Recommendations: Detailed allocation and provisioning recommendations help users proactively
resolve current and future capacity needs.
Datastore I/O metrics: Real-time datastore I/O counters are incorporated in threshold analysis and
resource provisioning recommendations, resulting in practical, real-world perspectives that take both
resource availability and resource performance into consideration.
Capacity planning dashboard (VMware only): Veeam ONE installs a predefined dashboard
with views of available CPU, memory and storage resources for the entire virtual environment. The
dashboard also shows the number of days before monitored hosts, clusters and datastores reach their
capacity limits.
Support for backup repositories: Capacity planning for Veeam backup repositories lets you monitor
free space consumption by backup jobs and receive notification about potential storage space issues.
Other enhancements
Monitoring
Hardware monitoring: Hardware data is now gathered directly from ESX(i) hosts using the CIM-XML
protocol, resulting in improved visibility, exposure of more sensors and reduced overhead on vCenter
Servers.
New performance metrics: Veeam ONE monitors additional performance metrics, including total
datastore usage rate and ESX(i) host network dropped packets and error packets.
Alerting
Licensing alarms: Predefined alarms are installed for license expiration, support expiration and
exceeded sockets.
Datastore latency: Veeam ONE extends datastore monitoring capabilities with new predefined
datastore latency alarms.
Enhanced free space alerting: Free disk space alarms now include absolute and relative free space
values in their alert notifications.
Enhanced email notification: Users may choose from two email notification policies one for
mission-critical objects in which an email notification is sent for every alarm and another for noncritical objects in which alarm notifications are sent periodically in a summary email.
VM replica alarms: Alarms for snapshot size, snapshot age, MAC address violations and VM UUID
conflicts are automatically suppressed for VM replicas generated by Veeam Backup & Replication.
Reporting
Raw performance data export: The Custom report pack includes a new report for exporting VI
performance data to a Microsoft Excel workbook, giving users an option for performing additional
analysis and integrating metrics into third-party software.
Flash-based infrastructure growth report: The Offline report pack includes a new template for
generating a report in Flash format that shows the change rates for VMs, hosts and clusters over a
specified period of time.
VMs growth report: The Overview report pack includes a new report that shows how many VMs have
been added to the virtual environment during a specified period of time.
Alarms overview report: The Alarms report in the Overview report pack now allows users to select
business categorization groups for the target scope.
WHATS NEW
Business categorization
Support for VM folders: Users can group VMs based on the VM folders structure.
New predefined groups: Users can group datastore objects based on whether they are local or
shared.
Usability enhancements
New monitoring views: The Monitoring Client now includes a dedicated tab for viewing the VMs
running on selected hosts, clusters and datastores. This view provides information about VM health
state, host name, guest OS IP address and consumed CPU, memory and storage resources.
Initial configuration wizard: After installation is complete, new interfaces guide users through
configuration of email and SNMP notifications.
Automated update engine: Veeam ONE automatically notifies users about newly available report
pack and widget updates.
Reporting Workspace tab: The reporting Workspace tab no longer expires after three hours of
inactivity.
Improved monitoring performance: The Monitoring Client consumes fewer resources when
updating real-time graphs and the virtual infrastructure tree.
Improved reporting performance: All predefined widgets and reports load VI data faster.
Internal enhancements
SQL Server 2012: Veeam ONE 6.5 supports installation of its database on SQL Server 2012.
Microsoft .NET 4.0: User interface and management components have been migrated to
Microsoft .NET 4.0, resulting in enhanced performance, stability and security.
