As organisations move to virtualisation and cloud computing models there are a number of considerations that need to be understood. However in order to understand these considerations one has to gain visibility of an environment in greater detail. Monitoring solutions help companies to build a picture of the impact that virtualisation is having on their environment. Capacity Planning has long been accepted as best practice in determining the suitability of an environment to be virtualised – yet it is too often seen as a “point in time” exercise, without the foresight to realise that environments are dynamic, ever changing and need to be managed. On-going system monitoring provides organisations with the visibility to make informed decisions, to track changes in resource requirements and to plan effectively for the future.
In turn analysis of stats and trends can help shape strategy and to optimize environments to suit the different needs cloud platforms can place on LAN, WAN and storage resources. We help organisations gain visibility of :
- Storage resources
- Virtual resource utilisation
- Application utilisation
- WAN / LAN usage
