To get a better picture of the specific performance monitoring challenges faced by VMware users<\/a>, we asked our audience in a recent VMware monitoring webinar<\/a> \u201cWhat is Your Biggest VMware Performance Monitoring Challenge?\u201d (Watch the webinar<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here are the top-5 performance management challenges in VMware environments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Slow & complex problem diagnosis – 49%<\/li>\n
  2. Lack of visibility across virtualized environment – 45%<\/li>\n
  3. Proactive problem solving – 43%<\/li>\n
  4. User experience issues – 38%<\/li>\n
  5. Chasing issues that originate in other IT domains – 27%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The single biggest problem selected by our webinar audience is the inability to quickly and easily diagnose performance issues. The toughest performance problems appear to be the ones where users call and complain that “my application is slow”. \u00a0IT administrators and operations staff often struggle to quickly diagnose the root-cause of the problem and restore service levels: Is it the application server? The virtualization layer? Is it the network? Database? Storage …?<\/p>\n

    Today’s challenge is to go beyond a hypervisor-centric view and basic virtualisation metrics provided by tools like VCops, to manage the complex, dynamic, multi-application virtualized infrastructures that host mission critical applications like SAP<\/a>, Oracle<\/a> and Microsoft Dynamics.<\/p>\n
