Chaos in IP addresses and DNS? Not sure who is using which resources where? This tool centralizes IP and DNS management, automatically detects devices, assigns owners, and monitors the network (Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint). Gain full control and order – without guessing or risking errors.
Storage & SAN Addon
Lack knowledge of ESX connections, LUNs, and storage arrays? Not sure what affects VM performance? This tool monitors configuration, availability, and performance of storage (Brocade, IBM). It gives complete insight into your SAN infrastructure, enables quick problem detection and helps optimize the environment.
Data Center Inventory Management Addon
No control over your physical infrastructure? Difficulties in tracking hardware and changing environmental conditions? This comprehensive solution offers centralized inventory, detailed 3D hardware visualization, monitoring of temperature, power supply, and cable paths – giving you full supervision of the entire data center.
Agent Management Addon
Agent installations causing constant problems? Manual procedures, recurring errors, and lack of control? This tool centrally manages agents (e.g. Telegraf, Iperf, OpenTelemetry), fully automates their distribution and updates, and continuously monitors work – without downtimes or unpleasant surprises.
Application Observability Addon
Not sure why applications run slowly or hang? The tool monitors all components, traces transaction paths, detects errors and issues in the network, databases, and other apps – giving full visibility and fast problem diagnosis.

Why Addons from Indevops?
Experience
We focused on Operations and Automation services in 2017. We started with the largest deployment in Europe, which we have supported until today. Since then, we have delivered dozens of deployments, managed services related to VCF Operations, VCF Automation, and other components such as vSAN and NSX. We have been a Premier-level partner for 8 years. For the past 3 years, we have been an active VMware TAP partner, developing management packs for VCF Operations (formerly vRealize and Aria).
Support and Development
The addons are developed based on the official SDK. We have also created our own framework in Go to achieve maximum performance, stability, and advanced functionality. Moreover we add Open Source components to extend functionality. We ensure and provide continuous development, improvements and full support. The plugins are created by multidisciplinary teams – both analysts familiar with infrastructure, IT tools, and technologies, as well as software engineers. The entire framework is covered by a professional software development process including CI/CD paths and automated testing. As Broadcom has ended plugin support, we have taken over its role and continue the maintenance and support.
Customer success
We developed Addons based on customer’s needs, requirements, and over 7 years of experience in implementing Cloud Operations solutions (formerly vRealize/Aria Operations, Logs, and Networks). We designed Addons to ensure customers VCF fast adaptation to gain maximum value from their VCF private cloud as well as reducing TCO for its maintenance at the same time. That’s why Addons not only collect data, but also deliver extended functionalities and contribute to user’s consisted experience with VCF platform.

Comprehensive Addon Development Process
Development Driven by real Customer needs
Development is based on real customer’s use cases scenarios so we need to gather exact requirements.
Testing in real-world environments
Testing involves access to the customer environments which mostly are very restricted.
Step-by-step testing
Test needs to be incremental to avoid overloading the Cloud Operations instance, as we had such situations with Blumedora and VMware management packages.
Full Control Over the quality and performance of our Addons
Performance testing
We do performance testing (eg. with Brocade MP with moved from 60% CPU load to 0% with 24 SAN switches)
Integration Tests
Every deployment is secured with integration tests to prevent potential issues before implementation.
Highest quality code
Every line of code undergoes thorough reviews and assessments, ensuring the highest quality.
Stable deployments
CI/CD pipelines has to have "green marks" otherwise it will not be passed.
