Virtualization monitoring is a process of analyzing and monitoring virtual machines and related virtualization infrastructure. In general, virtualization monitoring is an activity carried out in real time to prevent the virtualization environment from unexpected events such as potential risks, architectural changes, and performance and congestion issues. Virtualization itself refers to the creation of virtual resources such as operating systems, servers, files, desktops, storage or networks. The main purpose of virtualization is to manage workloads by radically changing traditional computing to be more scalable. Virtualization is part of the IT landscape while virtualization monitoring is part of the virtualization security and control process.
In an article published by Gruppo, monitoring the “physical” environment is easier to identify and still has a limited impact. In contrast, in a “virtual” environment it is difficult to identify problems and estimate their impact. So to overcome these problems, virtualization monitoring is needed to monitor the performance of virtual machines (VMs). Why virtualization monitoring? What are the advantages or benefits?
Still in the same article, there are many benefits that you can get, namely this virtualization monitoring can make IT much more agile and therefore much more ready to support the dynamics of your business. Not only that, another advantage that you can get is that you can save more in terms of costs to increase the level of technology resource sharing, make logistics space management more efficient, and reduce electricity usage.
