Assuring the service delivery to key business applications and IT services in a heterogeneous real-time infrastructure consisting of multiple virtual and physical layers is challenging. Legacy processes and tools were not designed to deal with the heuristics of the dynamic datacenter. Virtualization has changed everything. Virtualization forces the dynamic convergence of configuration, performance and availability management and makes it difficult to understand the various cross-domain interdependencies of service at any point in time.
This webinar will focus on these challenges and address how Zenoss "Business-to-Blade™" service monitoring can help you manage the complex and evolving dynamic datacenter. In particular the webinar will focus on:
- New requirements for service assurance created by virtualization and cloud computing
- How virtualization and cloud computing break existing “legacy” approaches to service monitoring and assurance
- The need for model-driven management
- The importance of dynamic physical and virtual cross-domain linkages
- The relevance of a single configuration aware approach to delivering service to the combined physical and virtual dynamic datacenter
- How vendor solutions are broken out and categorized
