The Challenge

How do we right size our virtualised estate?

SQL servers are bad candidates to virtualise….or are they?

We have no visibility across virtual, physical, and storage with history to explain what happened when we were not looking?

Used to have 25-1 Server-Admin ratio – now 250-1?

Applications once were physical, now virtual and we are told they are “slow” now what can we do?

Now we have virtualised what is our head room?


Key Business Imperatives

1. Reducing cost

2. Improving service-level agreements (SLAs)

3. Ability to plan business growth or change

4. Better Manage the virtualised Environment

5. Data Center Consolidation
