The Challenge: Insight into All Layers of the Virtual Infrastructure

• How can I ensure Tier-1 applications perform across all layers of the virtual infrastructure?

• How can identify and target a problem in an integrated virtual infrastructure?

• I need to drive greater virtualization density.• Do I need more capacity, and at which layer? How can I

justify my budget?• Can we avoid finger pointing between functions on every

problem?• Applications once were physical, now virtual and we are

told they are “slow” now what can we do?

What we really do….

Troubleshoot• Identify bottlenecks,

contention• Measure & baseline an

app’s system performance• Determine optimal CPU

efficiency for each VM

Optimize• Determine optimal size of

the VM for each app• Avoid over- or under-

allocating resources• Enable effective use of

resource pools

Plan• Shows resource hogs per

VM at any point in time• Identify available hosting• Reclaim unused resources• Load balance clusters and

resource pools• Plan total cluster capacity

vs utilization

Manage• Predict, alert, and report on

performance and capacity• Prove service level

adherence• Generate chargeback
