Incident and Problem

Virtualization is changing IT management

Much greater flexibility!

However…Increasing layers of moving parts

Managing both physical and virtual

Understanding system performance, availability monitoring, and capacity

Even ITIL and process-oriented companies have challenges

But Requires New Data Center Mgmt Processes

Who owns this VM?

Does that VM meet our standards?

Was that VM approved?

Is that VM still in use?

Who changed this VM?

How much does this VM cost?

When was this VM

created?
