Policy-Based Control

The Challenge: Defining and enforcing policies for the virtual infrastructure.

Defining and enforcing IT policies as virtual machines are installed, inserted into, or running in the environment takes on a new meaning in the virtual infrastructure. Many organizations today mistakenly assume that their approach for enforcing best practices in the virtual world will be the same as their physical infrastructure. The reality is that since they are not well understood, policies are often not being applied. Or, the policies are broken because they weren't designed to survive movement.

Leaving Policies Unchecked Simply ensuring that the same technologies and best practices from the physical world are in place won't provide adequate control and policy enforcement for virtual machines.
