Business Challenge
Virtualization technology provides an alternative for server consolidation by creating a set of logical resources that share underlying physical resources. Centralizing common services, virtual servers promise the benefits of reduced costs through higher utilization, improved service levels through dynamic tuning, and increased flexibility through rapid provisioning. However, an effective ROI will be limited unless IT can make a seamless transition from real to virtual.
Business Need
- Plan for effective consolidation of business services
- Minimize risk in deploying virtual servers
- Identify and resolve performance issues before they impact business users
- Assure that applications perform well when using virtualized resources
Our Solution
BMC Performance Assurance for Virtual Servers provides key functionality for effective capacity management of VMware ESX servers. It gives you the ability to understand how business applications are performing within the VMware ESX Virtual Machines (VMs) as well as facilitating performance optimization of VMs through a complete view of overall system utilization. Coupling trending with advanced mathematical techniques, it identifies hot spots of abnormal or unusual activity that can be corrected long before they might impact the business service. Flexible reporting keeps end users informed.
Key Features & Benefits
- Helps determine candidate servers for virtualization and size initial requirements by performance profiling and modeling
- Identify resource contention among virtual machines in live environments
- Allows you to assess production performance issues and trends through advanced mathematical analytic techniques
- Delivers a complete picture of the health of your systems and applications from a resource requirements perspective through flexible reporting options
- Provides insight into problems, causes and solutions with graphical and analytic tools
- Demonstrates aggregate system and individual partition performance views by identifying inside and outside VM resource use
- Allays end user concerns about responsiveness of virtualized services through daily reporting of performance information
