When your vSphere envioronment gets big, managing it becomes a big data problem, requiring real time or near real time data collection, complex real time analytics, and the ability to store massive quantities of data arriving at a high data rate.

So you are a loyal VMware customer. You have licenses for vSphere 4 and you are about 40% virtualized. Based upon the revised vRAM entitlements in the revised vSphere 5 licensing, you think you are going to be OK as you progress through the more demanding business critical purchased and custom developed applications that lie… Virtualization Performance Management and Misleading AveragesWhat is still missing here is any kind of an end-to-end view of infrastructure latency that is also real time, deterministic and comprehensive. The marrying of the SAN point of view with the IP network point of view is the obvious combination. The hard issue here will be the identification of the applications so that… Performance Monitoring for IT as a ServiceMonitoring the performance of the infrastructure, applications and services in IT as a Service environments will require that monitoring solutions become multi-tenant, can be instantiated by ITaaS management tools without any further configuration, and that they automatically "find" their back end management systems through whatever firewalls may be in place. These requirements will probably be… Reinventing Infrastructure Performance Monitoring for the CloudCloud Performance Management needs to evolve and allow cloud vendors to provide their customers a customer specific Infrastructure Response Time metric. This in conjunction with cloud aware Applications Performance Management solutions is needed in order for customers to feel comfortable putting business critical applications in the cloud. Infrastructure Performance Management Heats Up
Infrastructure Performance Management is the single most important performance and capacity management issue that owners of a virtual environment need to address. The reason for this is that since the low hanging fruit has been virtualized, what is left is business critical and performance critical applications in the hands of applications owners and their business… |
