This session will talk about how management tools can ease the chaos and indirection brought on by virtualization, and using energy monitoring and management, you can directly identify the biggest bang for your buck when rolling out a virtualization strategy.

Managing Energy in the Data Center: Take Virtualization from Tactic to Intelligent Management Strategy
Session Id: MA7855
Data centers are reaching power, cooling and space capacity due to the growth of IT services and increased energy appetite of processors, servers, storage and network equipment. This leads to a shortage of prime resources to host new infrastructure. Data center managers are seeking to make the most out of what they already have through comprehensive virtualization strategies. Virtualization must be treated holistically, not just as a tactic, but also as an intelligent management strategy. This is accomplished with a real-time, data-driven baseline to make virtualization decisions based on the big picture of how the data center is operating. At the center of this equation is energy: a critical asset that dictates the performance, operating cost, and efficiency of the data center. The end result? Demonstrating real ROI with real data. In this session, Joe Polastre, chief technology officer at Sentilla, looks beyond ESXi to demonstrate how vSphere client and vCenter management enables the intelligent data center: a move toward energy and cost-efficient cloud deployments based on real-time data center insight and metrics. With these tools, data center managers can implement on-going management of the energy asset, both physical and virtual, to fully optimize data center energy performance thereby extending the life of the data center, planning for future capacity and reducing operating costs.
