Managing the Dynamic Datacenter with "Business-to-Blade™" Service Monitoring From Zenoss

Managing the Dynamic Datacenter with "Business-to-Blade™" Service Monitoring
June 2010

It’s here: The Dynamic Datacenter
New technologies create dynamism
Virtualization frees workloads to move and adjust resources
Cisco UCS service profiles decouples hypervisors and non-virtualizable operating system from specific physical servers
Cloud computing isolates expenses from hardware
We’re converging on the Dynamic Datacenter – and our tools need to converge!

Siloes: Fiber, Racks, and Routers

UCS: Simple and effective

Dynamism will converge IT management
Statically configured tools aren’t coping with dynamism
CMDB/service catalog data maintenance
Silo’d, individually maintained tool sets
Dynamism has blown up the human dependency maps, too
Rediscovering the dynamic configuration at each incident
Too much info from too many places
Probable cause relevance is a huge trouble-shooting gap
