Cirba Inc., the leading provider of software-defined infrastructure
control software, today announced the availability of a five step guide
to help organizations understand the dangers of using reactive controls
to place applications and allocate resources.
It is important for IT organizations to distinguish between control
systems that are reactive and those that are predictive. Reactive
control systems are simplistic, using limited data to perform critical
tasks such as load balancing. They lack the intelligence to proactively
prevent performance issues or optimize infrastructure. In fact, because
of their limited view of the environment being constrained to recent
data, these tools have been proven to actually create problems including
excessive VM motioning and application performance issues.

Understanding the Impact of Using Reactive Analytics for Controlling IT
Infrastructure, which includes product tests that reveal the above
