The Water is Freezing, Are You Fully Prepared to Jump In? Achieving Physical and Virtualization Operational Excellence

Summary:

Brian Bakstran, vice president of product marketing at CA, tells us that according to a Network Instruments study 59 percent of IT organizations lack the experience to effectively manage virtualized environments. Considering that by 2012 eighty percent of new servers installed will be virtualized, IT management is being challenged to catch up.

Getting lost in the hype of IT savings with virtualization does not mean that companies are prepared to implement the practice in their own data center environment, so the question becomes how best to correctly apply this technology. A partner that can manage both physical and virtual systems environments seamlessly gives operational visibility and control, but operational excellence goes beyond physical and virtual systems management. Important capabilities include model-based root cause analysis, strong application performance management, automation solutions that are integrated with the IT management suite, and a business service model approach. In the expanding virtualization environment, preparation and partnership become the keys to successful integration.

“Your business cannot skip a beat when you are virtualized. But how do you do it correctly? To ensure success and achieve operational excellence in your physical and virtualized environment there are many questions that need to be answered and your IT staff needs a partner that can help you develop a well devised virtualization management strategy that will help you ensure agility, quality, efficiency and mitigation of IT and business risk.”
