Any enterprise basically faces the same key issues while they set up and maintain server management solutions. The whole process of server management would be too slow, too complex or too expensive.

It is the responsibility of the IT department head or CIO to ensure that everyone accessing business applications from the server find it reliable and stable to operate. To ensure this, the IT admins usually install a set of software including security tools such as anti-virus, backup applications, performance monitoring software, etc. They also need to ensure that all the management solutions are set up meeting the required corporate and regulatory policies. Otherwise, they may run into legal issues.

While it is relatively easy for the IT department to set up server management for 2-3 servers, imagine scaling it up to tens or hundreds of servers. It would be chaotic. They have to continuously monitor each server management solution’s life cycle i.e installation, monitoring, maintenance and updation.

So, why do such problems arise?

No Control & Visibility

The teams often do not have total control or visibility over server management solutions. As these solutions are running in different virtual, cloud and physical environments, the lack of visibility and control affects server management. IT admins are unable to upgrade existing solutions to better, more stable versions with latest fixes and features. Instead, they are forced to install new server management solutions.

Introduction of new solutions means starting over from the initial phase of their life cycle. Thus, it becomes a tiring and inconvenient option that takes time for updates. Being difficult to introduce new updates, organizations will find it difficult to make use of the best options available in the market.

Server Management Agents

They are the major culprits as agents are required to be installed on each server. During deployment, this tiresome, time consuming activity slows down the whole process. Also, during installation of agents, there would be issues such as reboots, which would affect stability, performance and user experience due to server downtime.

In fact, many-a-times, business owners will have to wait for weeks at times for IT teams to complete various tasks. In an era where instant gratification is the watchword, it can be detrimental for IT teams if they are perceived to be working slowly.

Cloud Disruption

The introduction of cloud has drastically altered Enterprise IT processes in the near past. The popularity of cloud has presented two major challenges to IT teams.

Increased complexity – The public cloud requires a different set up to the existing software used to manage the workloads of virtual and physical servers. Therefore, new solutions would be required. IT teams will have to learn the processes and adapt to them.

Scalability –The traditional server management software setup on location are limited and cannot meet the requirements of public cloud infrastructure.  It cannot be scaled and is very slow and vulnerable to human errors.

To solve these issues, specialized server management skills are required. These experts know how to weave in through the server management web and find the right solution for you.
