Datacenter migration, system center virtual machine manager (SCVMM) has been widely recognized by the data center industry as one of the market's leading hyper-v management platforms.But in fact, it doesn't necessarily apply to all enterprise data centers.IT is thought to be a great way to help today's IT organizations take advantage of the benefits of virtualization, but is that really the case?
Although virtualization technology helps to make the current organizational resources to reduce costs, reduce downtime, and simplify the system management and maintenance, but why so far most of the enterprise IT organizations did not adopt the technology?Because the use of the wrong management platform can greatly reduce the most valuable benefits an enterprise can derive from deploying and implementing virtualization technologies.
In this article, we will help readers understand:
The five biggest challenges facing concurrent SCVMM are limiting the benefits of IT enterprise organizations deploying virtualization technologies.
The organization of an IT organization should seek advanced management functions in another hyper-v management tool.
The current IT organization's decision to update its data centers by adopting a virtualized strategy is likely to foreshadow the following:
1. The adoption of virtualization technology will help your enterprise reduce the corresponding resource cost.
2. Virtualization technology will help your enterprise greatly reduce the risk of downtime.
3. The adoption of virtualization technology will help enterprises to simplify the management and maintenance of the system.
The purpose of deploying virtualization technology in enterprises is to save the company time and money, and solve the corresponding headache in data center operation and management.
While virtualization technology can indeed help the current IT enterprise organization these commitments, but why so far the vast majority of IT enterprise organization is not active in this technology?Because if you use the wrong management platform, may eliminate the benefits brought about by the related virtualization deployment, even makes the enterprise data center management process becomes very time consuming, resource intensive, and ineffective.
With this in mind, it's time for enterprise organizations to make more demands on their virtualization management platforms.Is your enterprise using a platform that makes full use of your cloud resources?Does it provide experience that is cost-effective and helps simplify and centralize management?If your organization is currently using Microsoft's system center virtual machine manager (SCVMM), the answers to all of these questions may further confirm your suspicions:
Although SCVMM is considered to be the current market leading one of the Hyper - V management platform, and for your company to save time, money and solve the problems at the aspect of operations management problem, but in fact, for those in its data center virtualization has more requirements of the enterprise IT organizations, the deployment of virtual technology does exist the deficiencies.
As SCVMM users, we recommend that you consider re-evaluating your enterprise's virtualized management tool set if one or more of the following challenges exist in your enterprise.
There are five reasons why the virtualization technologies deployed by the enterprise are not fully utilized
1. Enterprises must use a variety of tools to perform basic management functions.
Review how many times your organization needs to access additional tools to perform certain functions that are critical to VM management, backup, security, and monitoring.Or, if your organization is using SCVMM all the time, consider the number of times you need to jump from one tool to another in a day's work.
Take cluster management for example.Failover clustering is critical to maintaining high availability of applications and services, but the ability to manage these is not a function of the SCVMM itself.This is why your enterprise must have access to the failover cluster manager to properly create and maintain the failover cluster.If your company to use this tool, you may need to spend a lot of time in the SCVMM console and failover cluster migration between manager console, because no one has all of the resources needed to complete the work.Not only do you waste time switching from one tool to another, but you also waste money.
How virtualization management can do better:
The management of your enterprise's virtual data centers should not be a costly or time-consuming project.In fact, no matter what tools your organization USES, your team can do more in less time.Unify all virtual resources, so you don't need to download other solutions or switch between various consoles every day, or master multiple graphical user interfaces (guis).
Using a unified cloud management tool will help your enterprise data center IT virtualization management staff to:
The virtual resources for your enterprise data center, including user control and tenant access, are managed.
The virtual resources for managing enterprise data centers include the ability to centrally configure, manage, and migrate virtual machines throughout the infrastructure.
Marathon monitors virtual resources and receives alerts about virtual machine performance.Restore your enterprise data center virtual resources by performing backups and replication.
2. Your company needs to spend more time solving problems, rather than preventing them in the first place.
Using SCVMM, makes the enterprise data center operations management researchers hard before performance problems in a timely manner, to identify potential performance problems that could lead to your enterprise need to spend a lot of time to deal with the resources.For example, can't get all within a single dashboard overview for the comprehensive performance of the virtual machine, which makes the collection database about impending collapse or insufficient space drive information has become a challenge.Even if you're trying to add system center operations manager (SCOM) to extend the SCVMM monitoring function, at the same time the visibility of virtual environment will also be increased accordingly, but the number of your company USES the console will also increases accordingly.
Finally, a complex and time-consuming monitoring process becomes a problem that many enterprise IT departments choose to avoid.Instead, they need a valuable tool to help them solve practical operational management problems.
How virtualization management can do better:
Proactive troubleshooting is critical for most organizations that need to ensure 99.99% availability.In order to protect your enterprise's data center operation environment with minimal time and effort, your enterprise will need to deploy a set of management tools to perform the following operations:
By using a unified cloud management tool, your enterprise data center's IT virtualization management staff should be able to:
Concurrent provides a unified view of all the hosts and virtual machines in the enterprise data center in real time from a single console.
This enables your organization to customize email alerts so that you can be notified immediately before a potential problem affects the operation of your business.
L streamlined combines multiple related resources into a single set of views, giving you quick and easy access to a particular environment.
Marathon helps you predict future performance by applying linear regression techniques to past performance data analysis, including CPU, memory, disk, and network usage.
3. Your company is struggling with the need to provide the best performance with minimal cost.
In theory, your enterprise data center virtualization solution is designed to reduce costs and optimize resource utilization.But whether the deployment implementation of this solution will help improve these areas depends on the proper load balancing of tasks within the virtual machine.Underload or overloaded machine will ultimately affect the performance of the application, if the performance is affected, you don't know the load imbalance happened, then the solution to this problem will become more difficult.
SCVMM makes it difficult to implement cost-benefit optimization.First, there is no built-in optimization tool, which means that proper load balancing requires additional downloads and configuration.Second, many of the Settings in the SCVMM will not display in the main management console, which means that your enterprise data center will need to spend extra time to record it's position, in order to find them.The end result: important things are likely to go unnoticed.
How virtualization management can do better:
Through the use of appropriate management tools can help to avoid or minimize the cost of purchasing a new server, and at the same time help to improve the performance of the system and the normal operation of the time, which brings a better user experience.That is why your enterprise data center of the selected solution should be equipped with dynamic optimization tools, such as continuous analysis virtual data center environment and the cause of the automatic workload optimization.In addition, provide a simple way to keep track of the workload solution means you data center management operating workers could put in more effort to analyze these trends, improve the load balance of the future.Data center should also make sure that you can be on any equipment by receiving E-mail to load balancing process of real-time observation data center, and immediately known any unplanned or storage of virtual machine migration status.
4. Due to insufficient backup and recovery, the loss of historical data in your enterprise data center in the past is caused.
Managing downtime without losing data is a key part of the job of your enterprise data center operations managers, but the SCVMM lacks native backup and recovery capabilities.Some SCVMM users back up data by creating and applying checkpoints that hold the entire configuration of the virtual machine, allowing administrators to restore it as needed.This strategy is useful for backing up files, but not very good for the database because there is no actual replication.(replication is the key component to the actual backup.)
In addition, the database is likely to change between the time the checkpoint is applied and the time when an outage might occur, so all added intermediate data is lost.Checkpoint is at best a limited solution, so IT people in your enterprise data center also spend extra time and use a disproportionate amount of disk space for storage.If your organization wants a more advanced backup tool, you'll need to download another tool: the system center data protection manager.
How virtualization management can do better:
To keep the business continuity of the enterprise organization and its customers, your enterprise data center will need a virtualized management solution that you can trust.The system you choose should:
Ending allows you to backup the entire hyper-v virtual machine to Azure.
Complete, incremental, or timed backups are enabled to help save disk space.
The AES 256 bit encryption is used to protect your enterprise's data.
The key hyper-v workload is copied to the auxiliary location or replica site at hourly, daily or weekly intervals.
5. Your enterprise data center spends much more time on cloud management tasks than you do on improving performance, strengthening backups, and recovery strategies.
Many IT professionals switched to the SCVMM because IT was packaged with Microsoft's system center, which they thought would meet their cloud management needs.However, it will not take long for these restrictions to become very clear:
The initial configuration of both ends is too complex.
Marathon SCVMM requires a number of additional tools to perform basic administrative tasks.
The additional tools with separate consoles and interfaces make navigating through tasks such as template creation a challenge.
Marathon lacks facilities to help your enterprise data center effectively manage the virtual machine life cycle, including virtual machine creation, production, and elimination.
In the long run, SCVMM needs to consume more human resources to manage cloud services.
How virtualization management can do better:
No matter what solution your enterprise data center chooses to use instead of SCVMM, this solution should include the following:
This should be easy to deploy and use, and requires very little configuration.
This should simplify the management of the entire virtual environment in your enterprise data center so that you can easily access various functions in a single console.
This should have a clear, intuitive, and consistent interface that allows your data center's management and operations staff to successfully complete tasks.
This should have the tools to enable your enterprise data center managers to successfully monitor, implement, operate, and maintain virtual machines.It should also include a cost-effective tool for creating and migrating virtual machines, copying, managing updates, creating templates, and monitoring performance.
This should be applicable to seamless expansion of complex environments, including multiple remote data centers, multi-domain environments, and multi-team enterprise organizations.
In conclusion, the proper virtualization management tool should have the relevant advanced management functions that your enterprise needs.
