VMware vShield Manager

To obtain the usage data associated with the network entities from your vCloud Director setup in to vCenter

Chargeback Manager, you must install and configure the vShield Manager data collector. This enables

metering and charging for external network bandwidth.

VMware vCenter Operations Manager

vCenter Chargeback Manager can be integrated with vCenter Operations Manager to generate dashboard

reports on vSphere inventories. The dashboard reports showcase various information, such as, projected

cost for future time period and cost optimization opportunities along with associated cost savings for the

vSphere entities. This integration is done by adding a vCenter Server that is integrated with vCenter

Operations Manager to vCenter Chargeback Manager.

VMware IT Business Management Suite

The vCenter Chargeback Manager connector for IT Business Management Suite is a Windows-based

application that obtains the virtualization costs from vCenter Chargeback Manager and provides this cost

data to IT Business Management Suite so that it can include the virtualization costs in the Cost Model. The

connector scans vCenter Chargeback Manager for a specific hierarchy and creates a report schedule in

vCenter Chargeback Manager to generate cost report for this hierarchy on a daily basis. The connector also

fetches the generated and archived report, and provides the cost data for each virtual machine in the

hierarchy to IT Business Management Suite. IT Business Management Suite populates detailed analysis and

reports in its Cost Model and dashboard.

In an integrated setup, the connector and the vCenter Chargeback Manager are deployed on site, while the

IT Business Management Suite is deployed as a SaaS application. The integration of vCenter Chargeback

Manager with IT Business Management Suite provides CIOs visibility across all IT assets, and enables them

to easily identify the cost reduction opportunities by comparing virtualization costs and physical costs.
