The fundamental difference between the two categories is that Resource/Availability Management looks at how resources are used in hosts and guests. Infrastructure Performance Management is an offshoot of this category whose vendors all collect the same resource data as the resource management vendors, but who also collect additional data that allows infrastructure response time (IRT) to be calculated. IRT is a critically important metric since in a virtualized system it can be relied upon to accurately represent the performance of the virtual infrastructure, while in that same virtual infrastructure resource utilization can no longer be relied upon to be a credible proxy for performance.
