Where is the best place to run a new workload?How can I optimize existing resources?

What is causing spikes?

Can cluster “X” handle workload?Where do I have performance issues?Where do I have waste?

Where is the best place to run a new workload?How can I optimize existing resources?

I didn't create the work-load, but I need to determine what's the problem and how to fix it

What is causing spikes?

Can cluster “X” handle workload?Where do I have performance issues?Where do I have waste?

Identify root cause and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by viewing workloads in 4 dimensions:

AUTOMATING IT PROCESSProtect Environment – Stop VM if it Breaks Policy

Sample Rule: Every Windows VM must have McAfee v2.0 installed

● Users only see conforming VMs/Workloads● Non-conforming VMs preventing from running● Policy breach notifications sent automatically● Tagging certain items allows one to apply policies to only tagged items
