Please vote for VMworld Session 5008 “vCenter Operations and the quest for the Missing Metrics”

Hello community, we are reaching out to you for your help.

Eric Sloof from NTPRO.NL and myself proposed a session for this years VMworlds. We both do like the VMware vCenter Operations Manager product a lot, but see lots of people do not get the maximum out of it since they just use the standard dashboards that come with the product.

We need your help to make this happen, so please vote for our session 5008 here Continue reading
