Not monitoring - not smart
Never underestimate the importance of monitoring data centre performance. In a millisecond world why is it that monitoring every few minutes, or not monitoring at all, is acceptable. The world has changed, application performance rules any on-line activity, so application and infrastructure owners need to continuously monitor performance in real-time, not just availability, or agree a performance based SLA with their supplier. Modern Infrastructure Performance Monitoring (IPM) platforms work at an application centric level and can proactively prevent slow-downs or outages before they happen by alerting before end users are impacted.
