Enterprises can use vswitches and other tools to make your hybrid cloud transparent.

In the ever-changing hybrid cloud field, one of the key challenges IT faces is to identify what is happening! Fortunately, there are some tools that can help it service delivery personnel create new observation positions on the rapidly expanding hybrid cloud infrastructure boundary. Refer to the tools listed below:

Vswitches provide a wealth of information to let you know what these switches are doing, especially when they are deployed on Software Defined Network (SDN) built around OpenFlow. They send traffic information to network monitoring tools to let external systems know the situation between virtual servers in the host system, even if the traffic between these servers has never left the host system. All virtual server infrastructure (VMware, Cisco, or Open vSwitch instances) will be deployed with virtual switches. In addition, vswitches are also used in external cloud computing environments. Therefore, these can be the first place to observe the network and application performance.

Other virtual devices except vswitches can provide you with more information, either in the internal cloud environment, public cloud, or private cloud environment. There are various network devices on the market, from Server Load balancer and application delivery controllers to application acceleration, encryption, or cloud bridge devices. The migration from virtual network functions to Virtual Devices indicates that we will move more to network function Virtualization (NFV). NFV advocates that all core network functions will be migrated to commercial hardware and virtual systems.

The business monitoring system focuses on Terminal-to-Terminal application performance issues. The system depicts every step of the business and the time required to complete each step. They will also track abnormal businesses and users over time. However, these systems need an appropriate commanding heights.

To obtain a complete view, these systems need to be placed between the user and the backend System (internal or external) and between the components in the service-oriented architecture. If they are not directly placed in these locations, they need to find a way to get data from these commanding heights. (This may need to cover the monitoring system, tracking physical and virtual components. We have seen an early SDN application instance: Big Tap of Big Switch ). The transmission monitoring system includes FactFinder of BlueStripe, ApplicationManager of ManageEngine, Web Application Monitor of SolarWinds and related components, as well as cloud computing-based platforms such as Boundary and Monitis.

A cloud management stack (such as OpenStack or CloudStack) can serve as another exchange center for information about systems and components in a virtual data center. This not only tracks servers and networks, but also stores data. In traditional hierarchical application architectures (such as applications and databases or databases and storage), these systems can easily discover performance problems between layers. Alternatively, they can easily detect system loads and exceptions in any architecture.

The current IT environment and the upcoming IT environment are very different from those of the past 10 years. Therefore, the IT monitoring performance method needs to be extended to cover these virtual environments and the intersection of internal and external services. The good news is that we now have a lot of tools and technologies to meet these needs. IT needs to use these technologies to extend visibility into every part of the hybrid service delivery environment.
