Emulex OneCommand® Vision Works with System Center 2012
LAS VEGAS & COSTA MESA, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Emulex
Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced the OneCommand®
Vision support for the new Microsoft (News - Alert) System Center 2012, a cloud and
data center management solution that provides a common toolset to manage
private and public cloud applications and services. OneCommand Vision,
an intelligent I/O management application enabling greater I/O
reliability, availability and performance, provides users of the
Operations Manager component of System Center with a single point to
manage their infrastructure.
"As virtualization drives up infrastructure utilization and cloud
computing significantly increases the amount of resource-sharing among
private and public cloud applications, I/O availability and performance
are stressed, potentially creating I/O bottlenecks throughout the
system," said Shaun Walsh, vice president of marketing, Emulex (News - Alert).
"OneCommand Vision with System Center 2012 solves the I/O 'blind spot'
with immediate I/O performance and availability monitoring and
single-pane-of-glass management."
OneCommand Vision and System Center 2012 target increasing server and
application performance and availability while decreasing operational
expenses. OneCommand Vision takes its unique view of automating and
monitoring I/O performance and availability from the application and
allows System Center 2012 users the same view, along with historical
performance database and intelligent alert analytics.
"System Center 2012 is designed to give customers the benefits of
Microsoft's extensive experience with the cloud to help them manage IT
from virtualization to public, private, and hybrid cloud environments,"
said Sergio Klarreich, Director Strategic Alliances, Management and
Security Division, Microsoft Corp. "With the addition of Emulex
OneCommand Vision to System Center 2012, customers can gain additional
I/O performance monitoring within the System Center management
experience."
OneCommand Vision simplifies the management of complex I/O environments
and provides end-to-end I/O performance visibility from the
application's perspective. OneCommand Vision's non-intrusive software
architecture and interoperability with Emulex and non-Emulex adapters,
delivers I/O performance and availability data for base-lining,
tracking, alerting and troubleshooting complex performance problems.
Emulex OneCommand Vision provides the following additional features and
benefits:
-
"Application View" of Performance Management:
OneCommand Vision is the first solution to monitor I/O performance
from the application's perspective, across heterogeneous storage
environments. OneCommand Vision exposes disruptions unseen by
solutions that simply monitor downstream storage infrastructure
components by providing end-to-end performance management that coves
100% of the I/O path, identifying, for example, misconfigured
multipathing software that results in unused, yet expensive, redundant
paths.
-
I/O Service Level Agreement Management: OneCommand Vision
establishes and manages I/O availability and performance service level
agreements (SLAs) from the application's perspective, including
situations where storage infrastructure is outsourced to a third
party, creating SLAs that are based on real-world historical
performance information for each environment.
-
Intelligent Reports and Alerts: OneCommand Vision automates
early issue detection, using Intelligent Alerting capabilities, view
dashboards, and reports. Administrators can quickly assess I/O
availability and performance across the entire infrastructure or focus
in on a specific group within the environment, reducing time to
resolution along with operational expenses.
-
Analytics and Correlation Engine (ACE): This capability
expedites problem resolution by combining I/O availability and
performance data with advanced forensic capability, to reduce
operational costs while increasing I/O performance and availability.
ACE also allows users to detect performance issues and relate them to
infrastructure hot spots, exposing potential oversubscription in the
server, network and storage domains.
