Here are six best practices for virtual server management. 1. Use self-service management to prevent VM sprawl Because it's so easy to create VMs, VM sprawl is a common problem. There can be VMs in the environment that no one knows the purpose of. It might sound contradictory, but self...
To win the battle against server downtime, VM sprawl, OS vulnerabilities, and failover issues, IT admins need to strengthen their server virtualization monitoring game. The purpose of this e-book is to shed light on some simple, insightful, and easy-to-implement VM management methods....
One issue that virtualization administrators must routinely deal with is virtual machine (VM) sprawl. Microsoft's licensing policy for Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition, and tools such as System Center Virtual Machine Manager, have made it too easy to create VMs; if left unchecked, VMs ...
Manage Security Risks.Security risks to your virtual environment can come in many forms. First, if you haven’t kept on top of sprawl, as I just mentioned, this leaves more machines and points where an attacker can gain access to your network. While virtual machines are isolated from each ...
and backups adds to this complexity. Additionally, managing VM sprawl—where the number of VMs proliferates beyond what is necessary—can lead to inefficiencies and increased risk.
