Our consultancy-led, modular approach to IT Business Service Assurance provides an extensible and sophisticated solution to an extensive range of IT issues. This is an example of where our solution can be applied to resolve issues created by virtualisation.

Infrastructure and operations leaders are faced with age old challenges such as cost reduction and security. However, new challenges are emerging - delivering services to the business with agility, ensuring regulatory compliance, increased consumerism and mobility requirements. IT leaders also have new opportunities to leverage such as virtualisation, improved technologies to automate operational processes and SAS (software as a service).

Infrastructure maturity is not just about improved IT economics and cost reduction, although they are part of the equation, Quality of Service and Service Level Management give the business more control over how IT assets are utilised. They also align the business with IT and align real IT costs with business benefits for better decision-making.

Infrastructure evolution is about improving three characteristics; IT economics, IT quality of service and IT agility. To meet these challenges, IT management need metrics to monitor their success.

The move towards a virtualised environment is inevitable and many organisations throughout the world are looking to virtualise their infrastructure within two years. Virtualising your environment provides you with key benefits;

Flexibility
Cost effectiveness
Consolidation
Improved Disaster Tolerance
Effective resource migration
Optimised utilisation of resource
Energy conservation

However, virtualisation brings its own set of challenges;

How do I correlate and map virtual structures to physical entities?
How do I gain improved visibility and understanding of the dynamic changes occurring in my virtualised environment?
When things break, how do I perform root cause and impact analysis in a virtualised environment?
How did changes in my virtualised environment affect the QOS to my business?
How do I monitor and assess any compliance violations in my environment?
How do I measure and monitor who or what is using my resource?
How can I provide financial accountability of my virtualised environment?
