HP presented its solution for virtualization management. It discussed how virtualization has led to more dynamic environments that are harder to manage. It then described HP's solution which aims to [1] monitor availability and performance across hybrid services, [2] report on service health and manage SLAs across domains, [3] optimize costs and performance of cloud services, and [4] anticipate issues before they occur. It focused on key products within its solution like the Virtualization Smart Plug-in (VISPI), Virtual Performance Viewer (vPV), Service Health Optimizer (SHO), and Service Health Analyzer.

Rapidly Evolving, Cross Domain, Distributed and Very Dynamic Technologies and Elements
The Virtualized Data Center - The New Challenges
Abstracted infrastructure and resources
• Management tools and process must focus on each
horizontal layers rather than each on vertical silos
Very dynamic environment
• The rate of change is much higher than in traditional
systems. The dynamic nature enables IT to run at the speed
of the business
No one team has a complete view of the world
• The infrastructure team need to know what applications are
running within their infrastructure , but they don’t have the
awareness of that
New virtualization subject matter expert
• needs visibility of problems across large number of elements,
all domains including storage and network

resources
• To test my infrastructure keep up
with end-user responses
• Identify idle and powered-off VMs
resulting in a VM sprawl
• Identify servers are under or over-
configured

Virtualized Data Center Manager– The User key Persona
Also known as virtual Subject Matter Expert (vSME), or Virtual Administrator (VA)
 Virtualization changes the IT operations
organizational structure and becomes virtual
operations
 The key user persona – The virtualization
data center manager/virtual subject matter
expert/virtual administrator
 Typically, this is the system performance
expert who now has become the
virtualization admin - acquired new skills
including virtualization , network and
storage knowledge…
 Needs visibility of problems across large
number of elements, all domains including
