Customers Need Better Tools to Automate Virtual Operations

Financial Services #1 priority is

better performance monitoring toolsfor Ops team to proactively

troubleshoot virtual environment

Customer pain and requirements reveal the need for a moreintegrated approach to operations management

Sources: 100+ Customers

Broadcasting Want to further

consolidate but need tounderstand capacity and

performance implications.

Service Provider Live with VCD toenable self service provisioning;

need to ensure SLA while

predicting near-future demand.

Bank Building cloud with high VMdensity, but lack tools to plan

capacity, maximize utilization

without degrading performance.


5/16

What Gets in the Way of Solving These Challenges?

Performance problems often occur with no real warning

Many times end users are the first to notice problems

Root cause determination is difficult and time-consuming

Solving problems requires all-hands-on-deck bridge calls

Real-time understanding of performance is lacking

No reliable understanding of the health of IT infrastructure

Siloed monitoring tools do not allow a common truth

No correlation across IT silos

Optimizing IT infrastructure is difficult if not impossible

Understanding the abnormal metric behaviors that lead to degradation of Key

Performance Indicators is not possible with current tools Understanding the abnormal behaviors that define your worst performing

devices is not possible with current tools

Heavy reliance on Tribal Knowledge of a few application experts


6/16

1st and 2nd Generation Monitoring Tools

Monitoring Solutions Insufficient for Performance Management

1st generation good datacollection, but alert storms

2nd generation rules cantadapt to change

Result:

Performance problems often occurwith no real warning

Performance problems require time

consuming manual effort to resolve

Virtual infrastructure is blamed for

application performance problemsthat originate elsewhere
