- 9. 9 What Our Differences Mean to You 1. Continuous, real time monitoring and analytics enables advanced correlation and visualization of infrastructure health, performance and utilization • Provides definitive insight into the end to end infrastructure supporting application workloads • Transforms infrastructure management from reactive to proactive to predictive by identifying and alerting on specific areas of potential risk and opportunities to drive optimization • Instantly proves whether the infrastructure is the cause of application slowdowns, often reducing root cause analysis from weeks/months to hours/days 2. Best in class production workload modeling and simulation offers the most accurate “what if” analysis available to improve decision making and de-risk change • Enables technology and product evaluation based on your specific workloads • Storage architect productivity greatly enhanced by automated workload analysis, modeling, test management, and reporting, vs. the scripting and DIY methodology of legacy tools 3. Unparalleled Professional Services expertise augments your team for maximum productivity and fastest time-to-operationalization
- 10. Optimize Storage / Infrastructure Investment • Eliminate over/under-provisioning by aligning your workload requirements to deployment decisions to dramatically reduce costs • Improve your existing infrastructure health, utilization and performance Mitigate Risk and Guarantee Performance • Identify issues before deployment by testing at extreme scale and worst-case conditions • Detect infrastructure problems before they become application problems • Establish, measure and meet performance based SLAs Accelerate Troubleshooting • Capture, correlate and analyze application workload for an end to end view of performance • Re-create problems in your test lab to move from reactive to proactive to predictive Innovate with Confidence • Adopt the latest technologies without the fear of unpredictable performance Benefits of Using Virtual Instruments “Vendor-agnostic source of truth”
