Virtualization is all about sharing a limited set of resources amongst many virtual machines (VMs) and ensuring the optimum performance and availability you need to ensure the environment stays healthy.Ī vSphere environment health check is one of the most valuable services that you can offer to customers because vSphere needs constant maintenance to keep it operating efficiently and problem-free. Seemingly trivial things such as simple configuration settings can have a ripple effect on the environment if they aren’t set correctly. There are many more moving parts that can lead to more complications. Not all problems that can occur are obvious to VARs because virtualization is much more complicated than traditional computing environments.
Hidden problems may lurk under the cover that can eventually cause the environment to become unhealthy.
Your customer’s vSphere environment may seem healthy enough at first glance, but external appearances can be deceiving. Over the past seven years, VMworld attendance has increased dramatically, which reflects the growing popularity of virtualization (see Table 1). The first VMworld had 1,400 attendees - which isn’t bad, but far less than the 17,000 attendees in 2010. We’ll start in 2004, with the first VMworld conference. To trace the company’s success, let’s review its recent milestones, product launches and initiatives.
Recently VMware has enjoyed record growth, as demonstrated by its recent acquisitions and Q1 revenue. Currently, VMware is making a concerted push into the cloud-computing market with products and initiatives such as vCloud Director, VMforce and Cloud Foundry. The company has capitalized on this success and now offers other data center platforms, tools and services. Today server virtualization has become ubiquitous, and VMware products dominate the market. Back then, virtualization was more of a niche technology with a cult following. VMware products have come a long way since the mid-2000s.
