Virtualization Management

Virtual machines are not simply objects to manipulate, but actual computers with real workloads. Managing them just like we manage our physical systems is imperative. By using System Center, a comprehensive set of integrated management tools, you can keep complexity at a minimum and streamline operations. A common management environment reduces training, ensures uniform policy application and simplifies maintenance by leveraging your existing software, personnel, and most importantly, your existing IT management process.

Virtual Machine Manager helps enable centralized management of physical and virtual IT infrastructure, increased server utilization, and dynamic resource optimization across multiple virtualization platforms. It includes end-to-end capabilities such as planning, deploying, managing, and optimizing the virtual infrastructure.

Benefits

• Manages the entire lifecycle of the IT infrastructure from a single console
• Integrates management of both physical and virtual systems, from the hardware to the workload
• Allows IT Manager to dynamically create and optimize workloads for virtualization
• Centrally creates and manages virtual machines across the entire datacenter
• Easily consolidates multiple physical servers onto virtual hosts
• Rapidly provisions and optimizes new and existing virtual machines
• Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) enables the dynamic management of virtual resources through management packs that are PRO enabled. As an open and extensible platform, PRO encourages partners to design custom management packs that promote compatibility of their products and solutions with PRO’s powerful management capabilities.
