Performance Resource Optimization (PRO)
The VMM Performance Resource Optimization (PRO) feature provides monitoring and correction of
problems for virtual machines managed by VMM. PRO leverages the capabilities of Operations
Manager to provide management of both the physical virtual server host as well as the virtual machines
running on that host. If Operations Manager is not installed, VMM still provides all its other virtual
machine management features but the extended PRO capabilities will only be available if Operations
Manager is installed.
Figure 58 shows an example of the VMM PRO feature’s integration with Operations Manager. In this
figure, you can see the network diagram provided by Operations Manager.
The yellow warning icons indicate that a managed Web farm is having a problem. In this example, the
level of Web site activity has exceeded the threshold set in Operations Manager.
