Effective management of virtual environments requires user & app level statistics. System level statistics alone will not be enough as administrators need to "see inside of virtual machines".
-
Blackbox Data Recorder/Forensics – Once you have attributed a problem to a physical machine, the next logical question is what VM and what application?
-
Chargeback Capability – Based on actual application usage (at the user level)
-
Application Resource Analysis – Determine which machines are candidates for virtualization
-
Graphing & reporting – Measure/graph load on Virtual machines
Planning
It is not always clear which system in your enterprise make the best candidates for virtualization. Having accurate real world metrics are crucial to determining how best to move forward. SysTrack provides detailed system, application and end user resource metrics to eliminate the guess work.
-
Application Resource Requirements
-
Track usage patterns for CPU, Memory, and I/O. Identify which systems are good candidates for virtualization.
-
System-level Resource Demands
-
Time-correlated system behavior is tracked for up to three years for both short-term and long-term analysis and trending.
-
Sophisticated statistical analysis helps characterize time-correlated loading expected in a virtual environment.
-
User Behavior Characterization
-
Login sessions, application usage and resource consumption are all measured and tracked
Deployment and Operations
SysTrack provides one centralized console to manage both your physical and virtual environments. One easy to deploy, common management tool reduces environment specific training and allows for a single console view for centralized reporting and troubleshooting.
