The Importance of Cloud Monitoring
Navigating the intricate web of hybrid, private, and multi-cloud environments poses significant challenges for IT professionals.
IT teams are often saddled with siloed data and fragmented monitoring tools that fail to offer a comprehensive view of the entire virtual environment. The lack of centralized controls and oversight leaves teams struggling to maintain consistency and efficiency across cloud platforms.
This complicates day-to-day operations and raises the risk of security breaches and compliance violations. Critical incidents may go unnoticed, increasing downtime and vulnerability to cyber threats. Compliance risks loom large as IT professionals can struggle to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements throughout disparate cloud environments.
Improper visibility also makes it more challenging to optimize cloud resources and investment, leading to unnecessary IT spending, improper resource allocation, and hampered operational efficiency.
The consequences of inadequate insight are clear. IT professionals must take advantage of an all-in-one platform that tames cloud chaos and empowers them to manage modern IT complexities.
Make a Difference with VMware Aria
That is where VMware Aria, our unified, AI-powered cloud management platform, comes in. VMware Aria helps IT teams control cloud spend, maximize efficiency, manage risk, and, most importantly, improve visibility.
VMware Aria transforms your cloud monitoring by aggregating data from hybrid, private, and multi-cloud infrastructures into a single interface. IT teams can track performance metrics, resource utilization, and more across environments — enabling IT professionals to proactively identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and troubleshoot in real-time. VMware Aria can even identify trends and forecast future needs, enabling long-term performance optimization.
IT teams can also customize the data they receive, providing flexibility and granularity in how they visualize their environments.
On the security side, VMware Aria users can safeguard cloud workloads, services, and infrastructure by using the platform to manage risk and maintain governance across clouds. If security and compliance problems occur, early identification via the VMware Aria platform ensures accelerated resolution.
These powerful capabilities are delivering crucial business outcomes for organizations. For instance, VMware Aria customers experience a 93% reduction in downtime, save 35% on compute costs, and deploy a week faster to end-user environments, per the 2020 Forrester Total Economic Impact study.
31% of organizations using a single cloud management approach like Aria also find their solution improves developer productivity, another key consideration for tech teams.
Unlock the Power of VMware Aria with Training
Want to bring these benefits to your organization? Enable your team members to expertly operate VMware Aria and develop their cloud management skills with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) training.
VCF training is essential to unlocking the potential of VMware Aria because it provides IT professionals with a foundational understanding of VMware’s integrated cloud infrastructure platform. IT professionals gain insights into the underlying architecture, components, and capabilities that VMware Aria leverages.
VCF training covers topics such as virtualization, software-defined data centers (SDDC), networking, storage, and automation — all of which are fundamental to cloud infrastructure management. This knowledge enables IT teams to maximize Aria’s capabilities across cloud environments, no matter which their organization uses.
Beyond building technical knowledge, VCF upskilling helps teams become more agile, foster collaboration, and accelerate deployment and management, all top priorities for any IT department.
At the individual level, training helps tech professionals build confidence, increase job satisfaction, and earn greater autonomy at work, according to the Pearson VUE 2021 Value of Certification Report. 77% of learners who go on to earn an IT certification report earning a pay increase within six months.
