5. The Approach in the IT Management
Traditional IT Management Management in the new Era
Services and Service
assets tied components are
together in abstracted and
complex, brittle, sourced from
vertical stacks dynamic
that are hard resource pools
to change and with horizontal
manage layers loosely
bound into
services
Business agility IT able to keep up with
suffers speed of the business

How do I keep OpEx
infrastructure to deliver design for today and
down and still deliver
business value yet still tomorrow’s needs? Will
high quality of service?

infrastructure?

• Load balancing between datastores in a datastore cluster via Storage vMotion based on
storage space utilization and I/O metrics, i.e. latency.
• Datastore Maintenance Mode: Evacuates all VMs & VMDKs from selected datastore.
