The sharing of resources and capacity within virtualized infrastructure is the single biggest cause of operational and performance issues, and even inefficiencies in these environments. Traditionally IT operations teams have seen this challenge as a “capacity management problem,” something that is left to another group to sort out with the right hardware spend.
But in today’s production environments, these capacity-related challenges and their solutions go well beyond available hardware and are very much integral to the roles and responsibilities of operations teams including virtualization administrators.
