Yes. Indeed. Data Center Analytics are key to better decision making. I thought I would chime in here to bring you some insights into another aspect of running an efficient data center. The streamlining of change and configuration management.
New disruptive platforms demand analytics. Cloud computing is literally shaking up the modern datacenter, as organizations strive to implement the operational and cost efficiencies that the cloud promises.
Internet Evolution's ThinkerNet editor, Mary Janger, asks in her recent post "How can the intelligent processing of real-time information that's led to better business decision-making be applied to the management of datacenters?"
She says: "IT professionals are ready for IT analytics; they're also ready for cloud services, which are likely to become a key vehicle for delivery of enterprise IT analytics."
Moving operations from a physical data center to virtual to a cloud environment introduces many configuration management challenges, adding complexity, growing the amount of dynamic changes and creating infrastructure abstraction. The rapid pace of change supported by the cloud platform complicates and creates challenges for enterprises.
