Managing the Virtual Data Center: Avocent's Role in VMWare-Enabled Environments The benefits of sever virtualization include reduced capital spending on hardware, reduced demands on power and cooling capacity and more flexible allocation of processing capacity. However, server virtualization also has several unique challenges: - What new processes are necessary for managing the new virtual server?
- How do you manage the new mix of physical and virtual machines?
This white paper discusses the management solutions offered by Avocent that can assist in the management of virtual servers including: - Accessing virtual and physical servers from a single interface
- Access virtual servers distributed across multiple VMWare Virtual Data Centers from a single interface
- Consolidate events and alerts from both physical and virtual servers
- Granularly control access rights to both virtual and physical servers in a common manner
- Maintain management assignments for virtual servers even as they are moved from one physical machine to another
- Granularly audit management operations performed on both the virtual and physical servers
