The traditional physical infrastructure in data centers is being replaced by
a virtual infrastructure and external cloud environments. The lines are blurring
between private, public and hybrid clouds, and complexity often increases as
cloud environments scale and there are mixed workloads contending for resources
in the shared environment. What may have been manageable only a few months ago
has quickly become a new management challenge. The situation is forcing a fresh
look at requirements, existing processes, tools, and operational staff skill
sets.
Ovum analyst Roy Illsley provides insights into some of the
challenges in operating cloud-scale environments, and best practices for dealing
with today's cloud operations realities. Roy is joined by Kevin Van Mondfrans
from managed service provider Layered Tech. Kevin will relate his organizations
experiences in building and managing their cloud data center, and how
complexity, growth, and increased expectations with service levels for more
mission-critical applications is shaping his team's operations. And VMTurbo will
discuss their innovative approach to decision automation in IT operations
management that allows companies to unlock the full value of virtualized
infrastructure and cloud services.
