There’re many steps to optimize a virtualized infrastructure, these steps bring multiple advantages to companies that implement them … But it takes time and skills to achieve them. This is why there’re different steps to follow.

The article of Cloud Service Evaluation, « The Third Law of Cloud Cost Optimization »   takes up these different points, we agree with it. Especially in terms of optimization.

All the findings noted in this article are in line with the recommendations of DC Scope®.

First of all, it is important to know well its infrastructure and therefore to make an evaluation, in order to really know the existing and the resources to disposition.

Currently, too few IT managers are setting up levers to optimize their infrastructures. In the rare cases where this is done, the optimizations are only done in the short term. For a sustainable and efficient activity, the procedures must be established on an ongoing basis.

Re-evaluate your park: It is important to continually re-evaluate its virtualized park, it is experiencing perpetual changes, negative for your virtualized park and not obvious to distinguish.

Re-evaluating your configuration: this also results in the re-evaluation of your configuration, since this configuration, with the time and the various changes made, is no longer optimal and has the consequence of particularly affecting the memory of your infrastructure.

Detect virtual machine Zombies: It is important to take into account virtual machine “zombies”, These unused and unnecessary virtual machines use memory and consume uselessly. Providing additional costs but also a security risk to your infrastructure. That is why, managing the life cycles of your virtual machines is paramount. Follow-up is necessary to avoid creating new virtual machines, while existing virtual machines are not used.

This is only a part of the advice and recommendations, resulting in many benefits: economic, ecological, safety, operation, etc.

The implementation of these actions requires time and expertise. This is why solutions exist to solve these problems. EasyVirt with its DC Scope® solution meets all its expectations and allows you to compete.
