Virtualization Infrastructure Management: Meet Your Business IT Goals

by admin on August 3, 2009

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve gone on and on touting the virtues of virtualization, but I rarely discuss the precious benefits of using the latest IT resource management tools to monitor virtualization performance and utilization.

Without these tools the real value of virtualization would be obsolete.

Traditionally, IT resource management tools were  built to monitor the virtualized connections between applications and their server and storage resources. In truth, they really couldn’t model the underlying physical complexity that was created by virtual sprawl.

Enter the new breed of virtualization performance and utilization management software. These solutions now enable businesses - of all sizes - to:

  • Maintain high service levels by reducing troubleshooting time
  • Reduce infrastructure costs by improving utilization
  • Increase IT staff productivity by automating management

Virtualization management tools really keep VMs and a business’s  IT infrastructure running smoothly by reducing the time staff spends pinpointing and fixing problems. These tools also enable IT staff to understand how application workload, utilization performance, and how to optimize balance between maximizing resource utilization and assuring application performance.

Look. Simply allocating resources from a shared virtualized resource pool won’t assure peak performance.

Virtualization management tools will - and they will give you a positive ROI.

This is part one of a four part series that examines the business benefits of virtualization management. Coming soon… Part two: How virtual infrastructure management solutions can help maintain high service levels.
