Power devices power your IT hardware and a monitoring solution means you understand what is going on in your IT racks, but what happens if you lose power in a virtualised environment? Will virtual machines survive a power outage? What happens to data? Do you need to pause business processes during a power event or does your business continue operating seamlessly even if you experience a blackout?
VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, Openstack and other popular server virtualisation and cloud orchestration software vendors all offer “live migration” to transfer virtual machines from one host server to another for load balancing purposes or maintenance. However, none provide inbuilt functionality for power outages. At the same time, IT and data centre professional are typically forced to use dashboard tool for virtualisation management and a separate one for power management, reducing productivity and delaying response time during power failures. Wouldn’t it be better if software simplified the integration of power management into virtualised, private cloud and IT environments?
Read Eaton’s white paper “Power management for server virtualisation, cloud orchestration and integrated IT environments” to discover more about how the latest power management solutions enhance the impact of server virtualisation and cloud technologies on business continuity and help virtualised data centers, including those using integrated environments, such as converged (CI) or hyper-converged (HCI) infrastructure, withstand utility failures.
Deploying advanced power management software significantly eases the complexities of keeping critical applications available during power outages and buys IT and data centre professionals precious minutes of additional uptime.
