As organizations expand server virtualization to include mission-critical applications, ongoing VM creation, movement and use of virtual networking introduces new challenges for data center managers when they need to isolate and resolve infrastructure issues. Similarly, cloud infrastructures, by nature, are fluid and dynamic, requiring management and analysis tools that are geared for rapidly changing infrastructure. In virtualized data center environments, the links between physical and virtual infrastructure elements can also be a potential problem source. Until now, however, mutually distinct tools for the analysis of physical and virtual infrastructure were required. This disparate and inefficient approach to problem resolution and management unnecessarily places limits on an IT organization. EMC Ionix Server Manager 3.0 changes all this by allowing a holistic approach to virtualized data center management.
