ABSTRACT:
From VMworld 2008 - Akorri CEO Tom Joyce notes how this years' attendees have changed their approach to virtualization due to increasing scales, more VMs and servers, and a growing impact on the SAN. As the virtualized environments continue to grow, they are becoming too large for IT professionals to manage. Other topics covered include:
Main problems facing VMworld attendees, including performance, scale, and visibility challenges
Approaches to simplify troubleshooting and tactical, operational tasks
New Akorri technology, including updated typology for larger environments, updated analytics for performance index technology, and partner integration with Quest, Dell, and VMware
