Operations Visualization for Private Clouds
知樹 白取, Hideki Hara · 2011
For the operation of private clouds to be made more efficient, the ICT resources (servers, storage devices, networks, etc.), which are becoming huge in number, must be managed more efficiently. This means that a company’s infrastructure management department must perform a comprehensive survey of the state and usage conditions of ICT resources, assess problems quickly, and take appropriate action. A comprehensive survey can be achieved by visualizing the operation of the private cloud. Fujitsu’s Systemwalker Service Catalog Manager V14.1 and Cloud Infrastructure Management Software V1.2 provide two means of visualizing resources and the resource pool. These virtualization capabilities enable an administrator to perform an integrated check on two things; the existence of performance problems and the available capacity of resources. This makes operations management of private clouds more efficient. This paper describes the role of virtualization in making private cloud operations more efficient and introduces the operations visualization provided by these products.
