New eBook: The Definitive Guide® to Business Service Management
 Download the first chapter!
The intent of The Definitive Guide to Business Service Management is to provide a framework for true management of IT service from a business perspective. It provides detail around IT service management, and will guide organizations as they evolve from technology-focused infrastructure monitoring to a mindset of business-driven service delivery. This process involves linking business-critical IT services to the performance of underlying infrastructure and application components - a process called Business Service Management. BSM enables IT service monitoring, reporting, and notification in a way that makes sense and provides value not only to those within IT, but also to an organization's business leaders - the true customers of IT.

The focus of this chapter is on monitoring performance for virtualized infrastructures. It will begin by presenting potential business benefits of implementing proactive performance monitoring. It will then present details related to how you can monitor physical and virtual workloads, including which statistics are useful. Then, I'll switch more to the management side of IT by looking at the many benefits of implementing and monitoring Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Next, I'll look at ways in which IT staff can predict virtualization performance through benchmarks and other tests. Finally, the chapter will conclude with a discussion of ways in which performance management can be automated.
