The virtualization performance monitoring means, continuously monitoring the performance of the virtual machines and the resource utilization with a virtual environment. Virtualization performance monitoring software tracks VM availability and performance metrics, including CPU and memory utilization, disk usage, and network bandwidth. By defining performance thresholds, system administrators are able to receive alerts when outages occur.
As similar to benefits of ROI by server consolidation, virtualization performance monitoring can also give more benefits. Virtualization main idea is to do more with less. This idea has what created a foothold for virtualization in data centers.
VZirtualized data centers are more efficient, since they have only few physical servers to manage, which can efficiently deliver measurable savings as fewer servers result in reduction of power usage, physical hardware support, square footage and cooling.
A number of options, enhancements and capabilities are available today that can help data center managers monitor virtualization performance and increase virtualization’s return on investment (ROI) while reducing its total cost of ownership.
