across pooled resources, and
understand how Vapps are affected
› Poor availability, utilization and
performance of cloud resources
› Lack of visibility into virtual and
associated physical infrastructure
› Compute density and converged
infrastructure
» The cost of multiple tools
» Legacy tools not designed to relate a
single unified view
› Lack of visibility into your cloud
infrastructure and user experience
