Virtualisation Management: Trends, Promises and Challenges

% Growth in Virtualisation Mgmt

Number of VMs where management becomes critical

% Workloads virtualised in production

Why “Manage” Virtualisation?


Customer Challenges: Virtualisation

NETWORK MANAGER

• I need to see exactly what the

problem is, what is the root-cause

and quickly...…

• I want to keep up with the fast

changing virtual environment

DB ADMINISTRATOR

• How is my DB performing in

physical & virtual environments

and is virtualisation causing

performance issues?

• I would like to see the

performance and status of the

DB performance as well as

virtual systems in one tool

SERVICE DESK

• Even though we have new teams for

virtualisation management, I want to

have a consistent process so I know

who to notify and who is fixing the

issue?

SYSTEM ENGINEER

• I need visibility into the

performance of all my physical and

virtual systems in one place

• What are the historical utilisation

rates? Am I under-provisioning or

over-provisioning?• I like the savings of

virtualisation but I want to

be confident that our

customer facing applications

are performing well

• If there is potential service

issue, can we pinpoint and

resolve the problem quickly

within the virtual

environment

• Are we in compliance with

all the regulatory

requirements in this shared

infrastructure?

It's All About Your Ability To…

>Enhance Visibility = Reduce Costs

>Dynamic Optimisation= Predictability

>Improve Agility = Service Quality

Enhance Visibility> Single Pane of Glass – Visualise your entire virtual infrastructure

Leverage existing investment in fault management solution to manage

virtual servers

Automatically discover virtual servers, their virtual machines and the logical

relationships between them


Enhance Visibility> Keep up with the changes in virtual environments

Visually distinguish virtual hosts and physical host in the topology

map and highlight known issues

Detect Dynamic Resource Allocation needs and vMotion activity and

automatically update the topology in real-time


VmotionOccurs!

Enhance Visibility

> Maintain your IT Service

context

Add virtual infrastructure

to your traditional tool

and gain top down service

context across your all

your IT domains

Leverage existing

escalation and notification

processes to virtualised

environments


Improve Agility

> Rapid Fault Isolation and

RCA

Proactively poll and

capture real-time metrics

from virtual hosts and VMs

Root cause analytics based

on models vs. rules to

isolate faults across

physical and virtual

systems and intelligently

suppress symptomatic

alarms on virtual machines


> Improve Predictability

Proactive performance monitoring across IT domains – systems (virtual, OS),

networks, databases and applications

Plan for capacity by getting real-time dashboard metrics and historic view of your

virtual infrastructure

Proactively identify systemic issues in the virtual environment before they impact the

services and users

Dynamic Optimisation


> Optimise Resources

Allocate and de-allocate resources across VMs based on policy

Improve ROI of individual virtualised hosts

Dynamic Optimisation

Customers Success Stories


Challenge: Poor performance visibility in theirVMware environment, poor applicationavailability

Results:• Centralised and standardised management

of their virtual and physical server environments• Critical visibility into VMware performance

that previously did not exist• Identified and resolved recurring problems

and eliminated “quick fixes”

Challenge: Many point tools, needed aStandardised tool that could scale and be costeffective

Results:• Simplified and standardised their global

infrastructure management across P+V• Increased IT productivity• Controlled costs

Challenge: Outgrew their open source tool,needed RCA, OS level monitoring, deepperformance

Results:• Single pane-of-glass to manage both their

physical and virtual environment• Improved serviced quality• Gained OS level performance metrics

Challenge: Safeguarding IT performance andavailability of assets paramount to quality ofguest services

Results:• Single pane-of-glass for improved operations• Faster response due to models based RCA• Reduced downtime due to application availability
