See relationship dependencies – Hosts/Hypervisors/VMs

– Datastores

– Switches Fabric

– Arrays

Drill down to analyze trends – Performance

– Availability

Performance Trending & Reporting


Do you have a triage every time there is a problem

Still rummaging through spreadsheets

How about those element managers


Demo

Performance Trending And Reporting


Host Performance Troubleshooting


Analyze host performance – From host to LUN

PowerPath metrics enhance troubleshooting – Health

– Configuration

– Alerts

Analyze host LUN metrics


Performance Trending And Reporting Analyze Performance From Host, Switch, And Array Perspective

Host/VM Hypervisor Switch Array





Where can I find some free space?

Finding LUNs: looking for a needle

How about a clear view


Demo

Utilization & Optimization



• Move applications to lower-cost storage without violating SLAs

• Identify under utilized capacity

• Reclaim abandoned storage

“Before, it took me over a half of a day to create a report that lists storage allocated to each server. Now I can see this with just a few mouse clicks. It’s made my life easier by providing better visibility into my SAN environment.”

—Senior Systems Admin

Storage and Application Capacity Trends Manage Thin Pool Capacity

• Track thin pool consumption to prevent outages

• Drive higher subscription rates and therefore higher efficiency

Anticipate when pools will run out of space


Storage Configuration Management Configuration Compliance

Define best practices & policies

Ensure compliance with EMC Support Matrix


Application To Infrastructure Mapping

Application to infrastructure mapping Before : hunt-n-peck across multiple portals and spreadsheets piecing together the picture After: a couple clicks and you see the view from host to array and back again Problem solved: see end-to-end configuration picture in one tool rather than many, huge time saving to answer quick configuration questions for consumers



Performance trending and reporting Before: navigate across multiple tools to pull the needed KPIs or wait for the server guys to pull reports and then compare to array reports After: see end-to-end map of the IO path and with a few clicks can navigate and easily see KPIs for each contributing object Problem solved: Significant time savings not having to use multiple tools and CLIs to pinpoint where the performance issues is



Utilization optimization Before: Run multiple commands against each server and VMware, update spreadsheets as compared to running commands on the arrays After: a couple clicks you see the host consumption/chargeback views that clearly indicate where issues are, utilize service levels to indicate how much of each type of storage being used Problem solved: easy single reports to indicate and reclaim or point where more storage needs to be provisioned


Storage And Application Capacity Trends

SLA achievement reporting Before: in order to send a good report to yourself or your boss/CIO it would take multiple days to pull all relevant data together in spreadsheet and then validate and send After: Easily customize reports to reflect the needed data and then schedule them for the frequency that is needed for reporting Problem solved: Cut the time to report on the storage environment and consumption to zero from multiple days without the suite with high data accuracy and repeatability



Performance trending and reporting Before: navigate across multiple tools to pull the needed KPIs or wait for the server guys to pull reports and then compare to array reports After: see end-to-end map of the IO path and with a few clicks can navigate and easily see KPIs for each contributing object Problem solved: Significant time savings not having to use multiple tools and CLIs to pinpoint where the performance issues is
