In the modern world of virtual servers, infrastructure can be complex and changes come fast. This also means that the potential for change-related risk to applications is greater than ever before.
IT administrators don't always have the ability or time to study all the known or unknown configuration issues in their vSphere infrastructure. They can therefore struggle to understand whether changes -- intended or accidental -- result in performance disruptions and availability issues in waiting.
Smart IT solutions provider CloudPhysics is launching a new release of its SaaS offering, expanding its analytics solution so that VMware users can spot and eliminate operational hazards that threaten to disrupt IT operations and applications.
CloudPhysics reduces disruption and incidents with always-on diagnostics that show up hot spots and emerging problems via configurable dashboards, enabling admins to get ahead of developing performance problems. It also improves mean-time-to-resolution with directed exploration, enabling admins to home in on the root cause and resolve application disruptions more quickly.
By generating insights that allow admins to spot misconfigured infrastructure CloudPhysics can help make corrections to prevent future performance and availability issues and improve efficiency. It uses a library of 'cards' to assist with managing health and pre-empting hazards.
"Dealing with unforeseen system disruptions kills IT productivity, and the most common 'cure' -- to add more hardware -- simply adds costs and masks the underlying problem", says John Blumenthal, CloudPhysics' vice president of product management. "Our unique insights and exploration capabilities are the fastest, easiest way for IT to get ahead of potential risk in their infrastructure, using an intuitive solution that uses predictive analytics to spot trouble early, guide to the root cause, and ultimately tune your infrastructure to prevent recurring hazards".
CloudPhysics is sold on a subscription model, it will be on display at VMworld and users can try it out with a Free Edition available to download from the company’s website.
