Editor's Notes
- The significant and irrefutable benefits of virtualization include rack space and cost savings, operational efficiencies, power reduction and more. These originate with the fundamental premise of sharing the 4 core resources: CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network. But these benefits can be put at risk if the applications and workloads running on the new virtual infrastructure are not managed properly. We all have to recognize that virtualization does nothing to reduce the challenges of APM in a physical world…in fact, virtualization can compound the problems. For example, root cause diagnosis can be made more difficult because of dynamic resourcing, War room and bridge call sessions have one more team at the table to add complications, and the ease of cost allocation is gone when the link between physical infrastructure and the application is broken. APM solutions today must understand the complexities of virtualization and be able to correlate this new tier in the environment with application services so user expectations and service levels are met – after all, users and the business don’t care whether the infrastructure is physical or virtual – they just know the app is doing or not doing what it’s supposed to.
- Complete APM includes a rich and deep set of capabilities. Importantly, Foglight is a single tool provided a complete AND integrated offering. Other competitors in the market use a combination of tools that do not work together at all or require customizations to be done in YOUR environment to accomplish their marketing claims.I’m happy to go into more detail on these but the most important thing to understand is that Foglight is architected and sold according to the way you and other customers typically buy. You may only need some capabilities now or you may have many of these from other solutions and you need to fill an important gap. But, you don’t want to start down the path of yet another monitor without the understanding it can grow and mature with you and your needs.Foglight has the flexibility to do that.
