Veeam ONE

Whats new in 6.5


Veeam ONE integrates Veeam
Monitor, Veeam Reporter and
Veeam Business View to create
a single monitoring and reporting
solution for VMware, Hyper-V and
Veeam Backup & Replication. The
result is a powerful and easy-to-use
product that provides complete
visibility of the entire backup
and virtual infrastructures and
affordably delivers the capabilities
that matter most to virtualization
administrators.

Veeam Backup & Replication


Veeam ONE provides advanced
monitoring, reporting and capacity
planning for Veeam Backup &
Replication. Youll know your critical
VMs are protected with at-aglance views of backup health and
performance, 24x7 monitoring of
backup jobs and repositories, and
reporting of protected, unprotected
and verified VMs.

Veeam ONE delivers powerful and easy-to-use monitoring


and reporting for VMware and Hyper-V. With version 6.5,
Veeam ONE extends these capabilities to the backup
infrastructure and introduces other enhancements that
administrators can rely on for improving the performance and
availability of their virtual environments.
This document describes the enhancements in version 6.5. For information about
enhancements included in version 6.0, see Whats New in 6.0.

Support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server


2012 Hyper-V
Support for new Hyper-V objects: Veeam ONE fully supports Windows Server
2012, including monitoring of SMB shares, Highly Available (HA) SMB shares and
CSV 2 datastores.
New datastore performance metrics: Veeam ONE keeps users on top of
storage health and performance with views of latency, IOPS and usage rate
metrics for CSVs, local datastores and HA SMB shares.
New events: Users can create alarms for all new Hyper-V events and metrics.

Support for vSphere 5.1


New alarms: Prebuilt alarms with accompanying knowledge base articles are
installed for metrics and events introduced in vSphere 5.1.
Datastore VM observed latency: Veeam ONE includes support for this new
vSphere 5.1 performance metric.

VMware vSphere

Integration with Veeam Backup & Replication

Veeam ONE offers the flexibility


you need for your entire VMware
infrastructure, letting you monitor
and report on multiple vCenter
Servers and standalone ESX(i)
hosts, including those running free
vSphere Hypervisor. Veeam ONE
is certified as VMware Ready for
vSphere 5.

Real-time monitoring: Veeam ONE monitors the health and performance of


the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure from the same, single console
used for monitoring VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures. New data protection
views allow users to easily check on the state of backup, replication and
SureBackup jobs across multiple Veeam Backup & Replication servers.
Alerting: Veeam ONE 6.5 installs prebuilt alarms for monitoring Veeam Backup &
Replication metrics and events. Users are automatically notified about important
issues, such as the connection state of backup proxy servers, free space on
backup repositories and more!
Reporting: New reports let users track protected, unprotected and verified
VMs, check the backup status of VMs and understand when backup repositories
will run out of free space. Automated delivery of these reports regularly informs
application owners and the IT management team about the data protection
state of their virtual infrastructure.

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.

Dashboards and widgets


Automatic dashboard delivery: Users can schedule dashboard snapshots for automatic delivery via
email.
Enhanced widget parameters: Users can select business categorization groups for the target scope
dashboard parameter.
Configurable cluster widgets: Users can optionally select how many clusters to display on a cluster
widget.

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.
