APC InfraStruxure Operations PRO Pack

The APC PRO-enabled management pack ensures that Virtual Machine Manager is aware of critical physical infrastructure alarms and events and can execute corrective actions to move virtual machines to non-impacted areas within the data center.

InfraStruxure Operations offers a consolidated view of the data center's physical infrastructure. It holds data about the physical location of the equipment in the data center as well as an advanced configuration of for example power path and alarm data. Combining the data about the modeled physical location from InfraStruxure Operations with real-time device monitoring data from the InfraStruxure Central enables quick assessment of how an alarm on one piece of equipment may impact other equipment located in the data center.

Data is communicated from InfraStruxure Operations to the System Center Operations Manager server. Based on this data, Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager is then able to move the relevant virtual machines to healthy hosts.
