Managing Data Center Virtualization

Overview For many companies, the daunting amount of time, money, and people required to manage the traditional server cluster and failover configurations in their data centers has made managing service availability harder, not easier. Commodity hardware and virtualization technologies promise to reduce the traditional requirement of one passive server for each active server in production; however, the cost and expertise needed to support technologies often make their implementation impractical. Capacity Management and Provisioning solutions from BMC Software offer tools and technologies that are flexible, open, and customer-installable to make managing data center virtualization practical and effective.
