Top Five Signs Your Virtual Workloads Deserve a Purpose-built Storage Solution
We get it, managing a virtualized environment can be challenging, especially as workloads grow and IT resources are stretched thinner over time. Here are the top five signs your virtual environment is in need of an automated data management solution.
- Increasing Administrative Overhead
If your IT team is spending more time on routine tasks like provisioning, performance tuning, and troubleshooting; it's a sign that manual management is no longer sustainable. A platform that leverages service groups to handle these tasks is needed, reducing the need for constant hands-on intervention.
- Performance/Latency Bottlenecks
If frequent performance issues require manual workload balancing or resource allocation, these are clear indications that your virtual environment will benefit from built-in intelligence. You need a platform that dynamically balances workloads for you, ensuring optimal performance while eliminating complaints and time spent diagnosing underlying causes.
- Lack of Real-time and Predictive Analytics
If your team is struggling to get application performance data quickly and simply, predict future capacity or performance needs, it's time to let native AI and machine learning make these a reality. Predictive analytics can forecast resource needs and prevent over-provisioning or under-utilization of resources.
- Slow Backup and Recovery Processes
Manual backup and recovery processes are not just slow, they're also prone to human error. LUN/Volume-based architectures cause long RPOs, spanning from days to weeks. The financial impacts can be detrimental. There is a simpler, faster, and more reliable backup and recovery solution available; minimizing RPOs and ensuring that critical data is protected on a per-VM, DB, and container level. No need to snap, clone, or recover from an entire LUN/Volume.
- Difficulty Scaling with Growth
As your organization grows, overprovisioning becomes synonymous with scaling, but it doesn't have to. Typically, LUN/Volume based architectures run out of performance resources before capacity resources, hence the need to overprovision and purchase storage to stay ahead of the game. This approach still doesn't solve the root cause. A purpose-built solution that balances both performance and capacity resources is what you need, allowing your organization to scale with precision, eliminating guesswork and overprovisioning.
For organizations looking to solve these challenges, Tintri has the only purpose-built storage platform for virtual workloads/applications. Being truly VM-aware since 2011, VMstore manages objects at the VM-, DB-, and container-level. Take advantage of guaranteed QoS, real-time and predictive analytics, granular visibility, and secure DP/DR features.
