Planning to virtualize physical systems (discovery and assessment) optimized to prevent virtual machine (VM) sprawl. Routine surveillance of the execution of both virtual and physical systems ÙÙDiscovers, understands, and . End of lifecycle and retirement of both physical servers and unneeded virtual machines maps the dependencies between virtual system resources and the Challenge underlying physical infrastructureThe rapid adoption of server virtualization has been fueled by cost benefits and performance ÙÙAssesses current virtualized improvements: fewer physical servers have yielded incredible IT efficiency, increased agility for meeting environment, identifies business needs, reductions in planned downtime, and enormous cost savings. Unfortunately, server unauthorized VMs, and virtualization also carries the significant drawback of adding a complex array of virtual OS instances, implements controls for new VM configurations making the IT environment increasingly difficult to manage.
