One step forward. Two steps back.
Is the race to virtualize a race against borrowed time?
In any data center, there's a tightrope walk of complexity and cost. Each new system that solves a problem also introduces new challenges in implementing and managing it. You know the challenges all too well -- managing virtual machines that are over allocated, under allocated, or not being used at all. Not to mention the performance issues and wasted resources that result from VM sprawl.
When it comes to virtualization, it's hard not to feel like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. Hyper9 helps you automate and save time on your virtualization tasks so you can work smarter and have more free time to do the things you really want to do.
Hyper9 VEO addresses these VI Administration challenges:
- How do I stop the finger pointing between different teams (application, storage, virtualization). How do I prove VI is not at fault?
- How do I balance an over vs under utilized VI? How do I understand if I have CPU, memory or I/O contention? How do I tell if we are running hot?
- How do I troubleshoot performance issues? How do I track if configurations to conform to standards? How do I understand what has changed in my environment.
- How do I know when we will run out of resources? How do I know how many more VMs we need to add?
- How do I maintain control and keep VM sprawl at bay (e.g, stale, zombie and rogue VMs, and orphaned files)? How do I know if VM sprawl is happening? How do I clean-it and ensure it doesn’t happen again?
- How do I know if my virtual environment is healthy? How can I stay on top and manage problems proactively?
- How do I get the global view of my environment and access to key best practice-based reports at my fingertips (e.g, snapshots, VM tools, connected media, etc.)
