Typical Challenges
Have dynamic changes to virtual entities resulted
in configuration drift?
When will I run out of capacity?
Do I have enough capacity to support service levels?
Can I reclaim unused or over-provisioned capacity?
Can I confidently virtualize my business critical apps?
How do I track entities, relationships and actions?
Are VMs configured in compliance with operational and security best practices?
Have unauthorizedchanges been made?
How do I scale my virtual environment?

“In our major data centers, we’ve now decommissioned more machines than we have running. That represents a huge cost savings in capacity. In our major data centers, if we had not had a good way of governing when a virtual machine was no longer being used, we probably would now have more than 1,000 extra virtual machines running.”
