1 WHITE PAPER Proactive and Predictive Virtualization Management Optimizes Datacenter Availability and Utilization Sponsored by: Dell Mary Johnston Turner June 2014 IDC OPINION The management needs of today's increasingly virtualized and dynamic enterprise datacenters are putting significant stress on management processes and tools that were designed for an era when system configurations changed slowly and virtualization densities were low. IDC's research shows that the average number of virtual machines (VMs) per virtualized server continues to rise each year while the emergence of virtual storage and network technologies along with cloud architectures is combining to create complex datacenter environments where maintaining consistent application performance depends on IT teams having deep visibility across resource allocations and configurations of both virtual and physical resources. The experiences of five Dell Foglight for Virtualization customers highlight the operational challenges faced in rapidly growing virtualized datacenters. Whether the customer had a need to be more proactive in planning for future physical capacity or needed to do a better job of reclaiming underutilized virtual resources, Foglight for Virtualization provided a cost-effective resource for improving the overall stability and performance of heavily virtualized datacenters. Customers reported a range of operational improvements resulting from their use of Foglight for Virtualization, including: As much as 50% faster problem diagnosis and root cause analysis Host utilization increases of 10 15% Higher levels of IT staff productivity Improved service levels due to more proactive identification and elimination of configuration errors and bottlenecks More proactive capacity planning and resource allocation planning June 2014, IDC #249480
2 IN THIS WHITE PAPER This IDC white paper describes important virtualized datacenter monitoring and management challenges facing IT managers today. It discusses how IT operations teams can improve end-to-end physical and virtual infrastructure performance and availability while becoming more proactive in terms of reclaiming underutilized resources and anticipating the need for additional physical capacity. Interviews with five Dell customers illustrate how Dell Foglight for Virtualization is helping a wide range of organizations achieve measurable long-term improvements to service levels, resource utilization, and IT staff productivity. SITUATION OVERVIEW IDC's research shows that enterprise IT environments are evolving rapidly in terms of scale, scope, and operational complexity as virtual servers are becoming the default platforms for most production workloads across enterprise and service provider datacenters. At the same time, the increasing availability of big data analytics, social, and mobile applications; continuous delivery development strategies; and cloud architectures are creating an environment where capacity requirements can be unpredictable and even small errors in resource allocation and configuration can impair application performance and needlessly increase the cost of infrastructure and operations. Management Challenges Facing Today's Virtualized Datacenters According to IDC, in 2014, the typical virtualized server will support about 10 virtual machines. By 2017, that number will be in excess of 12 VMs per server. In many organizations, the majority of production workloads are already virtualized and almost all new workloads are deployed onto virtualized infrastructure. The success of virtualization has proven that sharing resources across workloads and user groups is a great way to reduce costs and improve availability and performance, yet it also creates a new set of important management challenges that are not addressed by traditional monitoring processes and tools. Specifically, highly virtualized environments require IT teams to become much more sophisticated about capacity planning, configuration optimization, root cause analysis, and dependency mapping across virtualized and physical infrastructure. As more and more organizations begin to embrace cloud and software-defined datacenter architectures, the need for visibility across virtual and physical server, storage, and network resources will become even more important. In cloud environments, business analysts and application development teams expect to be able to quickly provision virtualized resources that will deliver high levels of performance and availability. Automated provisioning systems can quickly deploy and activate resources, but the policies and algorithms driving those resource allocation choices need to recognize the performance characteristics of each workload and ensure that VMs sharing physical hardware can coexist peacefully when it comes to consuming memory, CPU, storage, and network resources. Poorly configured environments will frustrate end users and negatively impact business performance IDC #
3 Among IT decision makers whose organizations have already begun planning for or implementing production private and hybrid cloud architectures, 40% expect to purchase new capacity planning and virtual server management tools during the next three years in order to effectively manage and optimize their growing cloud and virtualized datacenter environments (see Figure 1). FIGURE 1 Top 5 New Management Software Purchases Needed Because of Cloud Over the Next Three Years Capacity planning and analytics Advanced virtual server management tools Application performance management and monitoring Workflow orchestration and task automation Public cloud service-level monitoring tools (% of respondents) n = 150 Note: Multiple selections were permitted. Source: IDC's IT Management QuickPoll, 2013 IDC's research shows that the desire to proactively improve virtualization configuration, monitoring, and capacity planning is consistently a top priority for IT operations leaders. These decision makers are increasingly recognizing the fact that fragmented, disconnected configuration and monitoring tools make it difficult to correlate performance and configuration data and can slow problem resolution and root cause determination. As the use of virtualization and cloud scales up to support more and more mission-critical workloads, the potential business costs and risks associated with inefficient infrastructure management are very high. As a result, predictive, scalable, and flexible virtualization management tools that enable IT teams to become more proactive in the way that they manage their physical and virtual datacenter infrastructure will be vital to the long-term success of cloud and software-defined datacenter strategies IDC #
4 Guidelines for Evaluating Virtualization Management Solutions In evaluating and implementing management solutions for large-scale virtualized datacenters, IT decision makers need to carefully consider how their requirements will evolve over time. IDC's research shows that more and more organizations are being called upon to support heterogeneous multi-hypervisor environments and new workload requirements such as VDI. OpenStack and related cloud system software solutions are enabling workload migration and portability between diverse on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure. As summarized in Figure 2, effective virtualization management solutions in the cloud and softwaredefined datacenter arenas will need to be able to provide proactive and predictive monitoring and analytics across heterogeneous physical and virtual environments. FIGURE 2 Virtual Datacenter Management Software Evaluation Checklist Heterogeneity Multiple hypervisors Virtual and physical server, storage, and network Scale Thousands of VMs Hundreds of clusters Multiple datacenters Visibility In-depth in-context drilldowns Out-of-the-box and custom reports and dashboards Predictive alerting and notifications Analytics Capacity planning Root cause and dependency assessment Identify and reclaim underutilized resources Source: IDC, IDC #
5 Customers evaluating virtualization management tools should look for solutions that: Scale cost effectively to support thousands of VMs across multiple heterogeneous public and private datacenters. Provide integrated visibility and contextual drilldown across virtual and physical server, storage, and network resources to rapidly identify and resolve performance problems. Provide deep-dive insight into configuration errors and topological dependencies. Proactively alert on emerging performance impacts and capacity limitations. Streamline the process for identifying and reclaiming underutilized resources. Provide dynamic, predictive capacity planning based on historical trend analysis. Offer out-of-the-box reports that provide immediate value. Include the ability to create custom reports and dashboards as needed. Customers will want to evaluate alternatives and solutions in their own environments to assess how well various solutions meet their needs.

Overall, the IT solutions provider believes this type of infrastructure-aware virtualization monitoring and reporting is an important differentiator that has allowed the firm to win many recent private cloud contracts. In fact, the company believes it would have been almost impossible for it to successfully offer its private cloud service without this level of visibility, reporting, and analytics. FUTURE OUTLOOK Over the past years, thanks in large part to virtualization, and the more recent emergence of cloud architectures, datacenter capacity planning and configuration management needs have shifted from being hardware centric to software controlled. IDC expects that as the technologies mature, enterprise IT leaders will solidly embrace virtualized, software-defined datacenter architectures that enable workload portability and optimization without requiring hard-coded dependencies on specific vendor hardware, middleware, and service delivery platforms. These software-defined architectures will increasingly integrate multiple physical datacenters into a common software-defined logical environment and will require management solutions that can scale up rapidly while supporting heterogeneous infrastructure IDC #
11 Cloud and software-defined datacenters will create dramatic shifts in IT management strategies. With regard to virtualization management, tools and processes will need to evolve to provide IT decision makers with a seamless view across not only on-premise resources but also public cloud infrastructure. Policies driving automated configuration and provisioning and workload migration will need to be tested and codified, and IT teams will need to aggressively optimize resources and proactively anticipate capacity requirements. IT operations analytics related to virtualization management will become more robust to rapidly capture, reduce, and store large volumes of data including performance metrics and event logs and will need to be extended to include capabilities to generate and execute complex queries on multiple data sources and include analysis capabilities to help users visualize and understand operational conditions and relationships. Predictive analytics capabilities including "machine learning" of baseline conditions, monitoring ongoing operational behavior, and recognition of potential anomalies or potential failures in time to take preventive actions will be expected. CHALLENGES/OPPORTUNITIES Dell's customers report that Foglight for Virtualization is a powerful, scalable tool that has historically been challenging to master. They applaud the product's ability to look across physical and virtual infrastructure and to provide deep drilldowns and custom reports as well as predictive analysis. However, some customers note that it can be time consuming to create custom reports and that initial system setup and configuration can be challenging. Dell recognizes this issue and is working to improve the custom reporting experience by adding more and more predefined dashboards with each new release. Most customers recommend that new customers work closely with Dell to tune the application. They also advise new customers to invest in training so they can make full use of the product's functionality. Foglight for Virtualization has demonstrated its ability to provide customers with a comprehensive view of dependencies across virtual and physical infrastructure and to improve resource utilization, capacity planning, and workload performance. To address the needs of tomorrow's datacenters, Dell will need to continue to evolve the product to address the management requirements of next-generation cloud and software-defined datacenters while continuing to simplify its customers' day-to-day experience. Customers that are considering Foglight for Virtualization should examine their organizations' mid- to long-term datacenter architecture plans and how Dell's product road map aligns with their emerging needs. CONCLUSION IDC expects that continued adoption of cloud and software-defined datacenter architectures will drive up virtual server densities and promote the use of more heterogeneous platforms. Effective management of these datacenters will require IT teams to become more proactive in assigning resources, maintaining configurations, and understanding physical and virtual resource interdependencies. Proactive monitoring and capacity planning will be needed to guarantee service levels as demand for resources intensifies. Virtualization management solutions built to handle the scale and complexity of these environments will deliver significant value in terms of cost savings, performance improvement, and overall IT staff productivity increases IDC #
