Virtualization Solutions

While no one questions the value virtualization brings to the enterprise, most businesses are struggling to figure out how integrate virtualization into their larger IT strategy in such a way as to maximize the business value Information Technology provides while also controlling costs.

The key is to realize a blended view of both the physical and virtual assets within your infrastructure, organized by the business services they provide so that your focus can be managing the outcome, not the technology. To achieve this, you need a solution that can aggregate all of the events and performance metrics unique to virtualization, combine this with data from the operating systems and applications being hosted, and translate this into a true service-level view of IT operations.

    Features At-a-Glance

  • Break out of the physical/virtual siloed view of your infrastructure and focus on a service-level view of IT operations.
  • Grow IT capacity while reducing costs by using FireScope's virtualization analysis reports to identify the right combination of hardware and software for your virtualization strategy.
  • Define your view of each service, from high-level business impact to detailed technology metrics.
  • Automate management of virtualization through direct API access to VMWare’s Hypervisor and the most commonly deployed HBA and storage processor cards to identify issues before users are impacted.
  • Seamlessly integrate new technologies on the fly with FireScope's inherent flexibility.

FireScope delivers this level of visibility and takes it to the next logical step by blending technology metrics with business metrics to provide visibility into how virtualization is impacting business objectives, bringing virtualization within the umbrella of Business Service Management. This enables IT leaders to develop and manage a cohesive strategy for Information Technology that leverages virtualization and other emerging technologies in such a way that they not only reduce costs, but can be utilized as a competitive business advantage. This comes without sacrificing visibility into the technology that network administrators, system administrators and other specialized technology workers need to ensure availability and react to the first signs of an incident, before the user is affected.

Embrace the Future

Virtualization, especially storage virtualization, is a diverse and constantly growing collection of technologies. It’s not unheard of for an organization to utilize different types of storage solutions from multiple vendors. This is a trend that’s likely to expand in the foreseeable future. FireScope enables organizations in these situations to centralize their management into a single dashboard, regardless of the technologies being managed, and provides a framework for integrating new technologies as soon as they go online. This is due to FireScope extremely flexible data collection methods and expansion capabilities, designed to ensure there are no limits to the FireScope value.
