- Isolate storage I/O hotspots fast
- Perform performance analysis at every level (array, controller, RAID group, LUN and disk)
- Prevent bottlenecks before they impact application and network performance
- Meet your SLAs—even as VM demand grows.
- Manage the VM I/O "blender effect"
When a server, host, or VM is hogging your storage bandwidth, you need to pinpoint the problem pronto! You don't have time to pour through logs, or rely on element management tools that don't provide visibility across your multi-vendor environment. The Storage I/O hotspot detection capabilities in SolarWinds Storage Manager looks across your multi-vendor SAN, identifies potential issues, and enables you to quickly drill down to detailed information about the physical or virtual resource causing the problem.
By mapping your physical infrastructure to physical storage, Storage Manager makes it easy to isolate storage I/O hotspots before they impact performance. Even better, Storage Manager shows you how a potential bottleneck can impact the physical and virtualized elements in your infrastructure and identifies available capacity you can leverage for a quick fix. Storage Manager can even help you manage the "VM I/O Blender" effect that can occur as VMs multiply. As traditional, predictable I/O patterns get thrown out the door and new streams blend together to create new I/O dynamics and more hotspots, the storage I/O hotspot detection capabilities in Storage Manager can help you pinpoint bandwidth issues, quickly resolve them, and prevent them from happening again.
