PerfMan for VMware
The introduction of VMware ESX Server provides unparalleled opportunities to consolidate mission-critical servers while maintaining the integrity of application dependencies on the operating system. Server virtualization eliminates many of the barriers to successful consolidation, but it means capacity planning is more important than ever.
A VMware Technology Software Alliance Partner, ISM's PerfMan for VMware provides the essential Capacity Planning and Performance Management capabilities required to get maximum efficiency and performance for successful consolidation and to greatly increase the cost savings and other benefits.
Using ISM-pioneered agentless collection technology, PerfMan enables you to provide Capacity Planning for VMware, its virtual machines and the guest Windows and Linux operating systems.
PerfMan modeling capabilities ensure that server consolidations are sized for optimum savings and performance.
Virtualization can cloud your view of key performance metrics but, with PerfMan, you will be able to integrate and clearly see overall and individual (VMware, Windows and Linux) performance metrics for Memory, CPU, Disk and Network usage.
