What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

In complex environments, console and other log data is often collected in a central location for analysis. That repository is often not on VM, and thus there is no common capability to include VM systems in general security management solutions. This often violates security policy, requiring justification and or (at an extreme) removal of VM systems from secure environments as unable to particpate
