Managing Best Practices in VMware Environments

Virtualization provides greater efficiencies in operations, server utilization, and application continuity. However, data center consolidation, migration, and IT governance initiatives can be daunting tasks. First, IT Operations must attain continuous visibility of the current infrastructure through automation for VMware-enabled data centers that are constantly changing, and becoming increasingly complex and widely distributed. Next, IT Operations must document application dependencies across physical-to-physical, virtual-to-virtual and virtual-to-physical environments. With this, IT operations can make informed decisions for planning and migrating to VMware architectures. But finally, IT operations need to continuously monitor VMware’s innately dynamic environment and apply controls to ensure optimal performance, and prevent potentially costly vulnerabilities.
