Introducing BVD

Data does not have to be big to be confusing. It often comes in different formats or languages, and is spread over different locations and devices. This makes it all the harder to bring data together into one view, displaying only the latest and most important information.

HPE OMi Business Value Dashboard (BVD) brings your data to life. Use BVD to create custom, flexible dashboards that visualize information in an appealing way and that can be accessed anywhere, anytime, from any device. Incorporate your own graphics, add color to identify status, and receive real-time updates—so you always understand the value driven by your IT environment.

BVD, color your data.

Connect

Anytime, Anywhere. BVD dashboards are real-time dashboards. You choose how often you send data to BVD; BVD displays the data with no delay. You decide where you want to view your dashboards: PC, tablet, or phone. BVD supports the major browsers. Choose your favorite!

Simple, Colorful, Flexible

Simple, Colorful, Flexible. Design your dashboards using Microsoft Visio. BVD provides a Visio stencil with shapes that then later become the widgets in your dashboards. The shapes include widgets for drawing charts, coloring text or values, displaying information feeds, web pages (for example, video streams), and many more. You can of course also style your dashboards according to your company's style guidelines. BVD provides sample dashboards to help you get started.

Connect data

Connect. Once uploaded to BVD, you connect your widgets to the data. The BVD Manage Dashboards page makes this task simple and efficient. You can set additional widget options such as rules that determine the visibility and status colors of the widgets; or you can link widgets to other dashboards to enable drill down.

Integrate

Integrate. BVD can process any kind of data as long as it is sent in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), a language-independent, open data format. The out-of-the-box integration with OMi facilitates the integration of event and KPI status as well as metrics data. Operations Connector provides policies that automatically forward data collected from various sources to BVD. Alternatively, create your own integrations for any data source by writing an adapter for BVD. The adapter must convert the source data to JSON and send the JSON-enabled data to the BVD data receiver.
