We've been dealing with capacity
management and an IT landscape that has been rapidly increasing in complexity
for the last quarter-century. Our software, consulting and training has
helped many companies, in all sectors, manage their IT capacity with a focus
now on managing complex, cloud-based environments.
It will be solutions to this very topic that Metron will be discussing at the Gartner Data Center conference taking place in Las Vegas December 5-8.
At the conference we'll be on hand at Booth 12 to talk visitors through our proposed 3-pronged approach:
It will be solutions to this very topic that Metron will be discussing at the Gartner Data Center conference taking place in Las Vegas December 5-8.
At the conference we'll be on hand at Booth 12 to talk visitors through our proposed 3-pronged approach:
athene®,
for infrastructure capacity management, data storage and reporting needs
The capture, storage, analysis, and
reporting of capacity data is crucial for customers to accurately manage the
capacity of resources, services, and applications. Both cloud providers and cloud customers can
benefit from timely, accurate capacity reporting and analysis and can
accurately forecast future resource requirements that will continue to satisfy agreed-upon
service levels.
athene® also has the capability to report,
trend, and alert on data that comes from external sources, such as service
level data, transaction data, and any time-series file containing any data
valuable to capacity management efforts.
SharePath,
for the capture of end-to-end transaction data
If a cloud customer doesn’t know or, worse,
can’t quantify the amount of time it takes for transactions to complete, it’s
impossible to properly police or enforce service level agreements. SharePath allows for the capture of
end-to-end transaction response time data for all real end-user
transactions. This data can then easily
and automatically be imported into athene® for reporting, trending and alerting
purposes. The automation means that a
customer won’t have to spend time carefully looking over reported response
times for thousands or millions of transactions to ensure SLA compliance.
Integrator
Capture Packs, for the capture, storage, reporting, trending, and alerting of
data from “hard to reach” data sources
Every company has tools and platforms that
store vital numeric data in log files or other sorts of time-series text
files. athene®, via its Integrator, can
import any time-series numeric data for reporting, trending, and alerting purposes.
Upon client request and as part of
consulting engagements, we have been very active in developing Integrator ‘Capture
Packs’ – pre-defined templates that can import popular types of data into the
athene® database.
Integrator Capture Packs have been
developed for data coming from the HP Performance Manager, Hyper-V, storage
devices, network devices, Apache and IIS web logs, iSeries, and many other data
sources. Best of all, Metron or the athene® user can quickly
create custom Capture Packs for their own business data, enabling capacity
planning from a business perspective.
Companies have long been looking for a cohesive
end to end capacity management solution. Our trilogy brings data and
information together enabling Infrastructure planning to move out of the
Infrastructure and become end to end planning from the business and user
perspective.
We believe our customers are going to love the
flexibility that our solutions bring.
