20. VMWARE ADMINISTRATOR CHALLENGES
 VMware vCenter is a great tool to manage virtual machines
 But VMware vCenter-based infrastructure management is limited
 Most CI solutions only offer link and launch management software
 Missing bare-metal management
 Limited host ecosystem view
Server  Image management is time consuming
 No real-time hardware updates to vCenter
 Limited network view
 VLAN and port configuration is tedious
Network  No self-healing of switch configuration
 No monitoring of physical switch
 Limited storage system or SAN view
 No storage management capability
Storage  Storage provisioning takes manual efforts across silos
 No monitoring of storage environment
