Title: Enabling Efficient SAN Performance Management Sponsored By: Virtual Instruments By: Noemi Greyzdorf, IDC Date: January 2009
The IDC White Paper highlights how NetWisdom's application-to-SAN transaction monitoring and analysis improve data center management and eliminate bottlenecks in virtualized and heterogeneous environments. The research demonstrates how NetWisdom's deep infrastructure and I/O visibility help optimize storage and network resources, detect costly problems before they occur, decrease downtime and disruption, accelerate SAN deployments, and assure meeting service-level agreements (SLAs).
"IDC believes that datacenters with large and complex storage infrastructures can benefit from the deployment and use of the NetWisdom Enterprise solution. The resulting reduction in application slowdowns, increase in preventative maintenance, and ability to quickly and accurately diagnose issues can help validate product investment," wrote Greyzdorf in the White Paper.
Highlights include:
-- SAN management case studies from customers, such as a government contractor, grocery retailer and a large-scale enterprise. -- New approaches to gathering complete information about the SAN environment; NetWisdom Enterprise, for example, leverages probes to provide real-time and historical insights into application latency and bandwidth consumption, as well as early detection and advanced notification of device failures, congestion, errors, and other SAN problems.
