Challenges to Effective Data Center Operations
3
Complexity through proliferation of virtualization layers
Siloes of application management and lack of integration
Keeping IT infrastructure stable and running at optimum levels
Information overload reducing ability of IT staff to quickly access impact
Understanding of what is normal vs. abnormal application workloads
Managing Multiple Management Tools

“A bad workman will never find a good tool.” French proverb, late 13th Century
“A bungler cannot find (or fit himselfe with) good tooles.”R. Congrave, French-English Dictionary, 1611
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
