VIRTUALIZATION and cloud computing may be the rage across the IT infrastructures of various companies and organizations, but EMC Corp. warns that proper tools are essential to effectively manage these environments.
In a meeting with the IT press, chief technical architect of EMC South Asia, Sal Fernando, stressed the importance of unparalleled insight and control over virtual IT infrastructures. “In a fast changing world today, people are virtualizing their environments – abstracting the physical IT, which is a very good way to reduce infrastructure, improve service levels and secure environment,” he began.
“If you are unable to manage these environments, virtualization falls apart. When it breaks, virtualization is a nightmare because you do not know what’s wrong or where it has gone wrong,” Fernando continued. “Without the management tools, you lose control of the relatively straightforward physical environment,” he added.
To help customers avoid this dilemma, EMC has come up with the Ionix IT management software, which Fernando called as a “revolutionary EMC concept.”

LEADING INFORMATION technology (IT) infrastructure provider EMC Corp. yesterday launched its new “Ionix” solutions to help business improve services while reducing costs and risks in their operations. Ionix offers “service discovery and mapping” so a company will be able to qualify and quantify its resources without additional work force, thereby utilizing resources efficiently. The software also provides “IT operations intelligence” that will monitor services across both physical and virtual environments as well as data center automation and compliance that will enable companies to scale their virtualized data center without increasing staff. “EMC’s Ionix will reduce a company’s expenditures fro additional servers or other IT infrastructures will also proved a secure environment,” Sal Fernando, EMC South Asia’s chief technical architect, told reporters yesterday. In an increasingly “virtualizing” world, companies face the challenge of keeping hold of its resources, both hardware and work force, he said. “If you don’t have the management tools, you will lose control of the virtualized environment,” he added.
