Virtualization has brought many benefits to organizations, both in terms of ease of use and flexibility in deployment.
As result organizations have generated a lot of virtual machines (growth + 20% on average each year).
However, companies have generally not accompanied this growth by adjusting the organization: no decommissioning process, no guidance indicators for virtualization, …(no virtual machine lifecycle)
This constant increase in the number of virtual machines increases the risk as well as the costs (as a reminder, a virtual machine is 1,500 € / year on average).
To avoid falling into this category, it is important to manage the full life cycle of the virtual machine (its creation but also the steps that will allow the decommissioning).
In order to properly manage this life cycle of the virtual machine, some key points need to be taken into account.
– Determine at the creation of the virtual machine who is responsible for it
– Identify the risk level of the virtual machine (critical or not)
– Schedule an end date (if possible)
With DC Scope® you will find all the tools that allow you to better manage the life cycle of your virtual machine:
– Complete traceability of the virtual machine
– Scheduling the end date
– The information of each virtual machine
– A synthetic view containing all the key elements
This dedicated page of DC Scope® takes all these points and allows to better manage its infrastructure. Gone are the useless virtual machine, place to a thoughtful and safe management.
