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
