With the rapid adoption of virtualization and cloud technologies, IT organizations of every size are facing new IT management and operations challenges related to the higher rate of change and increased scale of these new environments.
As businesses of all sizes scale their virtualization environments laying the foundation for a cloud strategy, each will progress through three phases of virtualization maturity:
Assuring Availability - This first phase represents the majority of organizations that have virtualized up to 30 percent of their environments. At this stage, users need help identifying: "How many virtual machines (VMs) do I have?" and "What VMs are using which physical storage resources?"
Optimizing Performance - Phase two is commonly comprised of a more experienced set of virtualization admins who have virtualized up to 70 percent of their environments. Businesses working through this phase are asking: "What if I add more hosts or VMs?" and "When will I run out of physical storage?"
Transforming the Environment - The third phase includes businesses that are over 80 percent virtual and have a solid foundation to implement and manage a cloud strategy. This phase of users needs help answering: "What departments are using what resources?," "Am I ready for chargeback?" and "What is my ability to scale with demand?"
