Server Performance Management
Datacenter and server management: Needs and challenges
Increasing technology and business challenges such as virtualization, server and data center consolidation require a robust, yet adaptive server management plan for the enterprise. With expensive and mission-critical applications running on server infrastructure, a break-fix management methodology is simply taboo. Be it an over utilized resource causing an application failure or a malicious virus threatening data security, the Datacenter manager requires a server management solution that is proactive, up-to-date with technologies, and business intelligent.
Server Performance Management
ISN's suite of server performance and datacenter management solutions help you to:
Monitor availability & performance of servers, services and applications
Monitor servers for their availability, response time, packet loss, utilization (CPU, memory and disk) and the processes running. Instead of drilling down to each server to find status, the server infrastructure map shows you at-a-glance each device’s health and the status of services running on each. Be alerted on impending faults by setting up thresholds for every monitored health metric. OpManager’s advanced fault management capabilities include web alarms, Email/ SMS alerts, remedial script/program execution, logging of trouble tickets into an integrated helpdesk etc...
Monitor your virtual server performance 24/7
After having set allocated resources for each guest OS, you will want to be notified on over-utilization before the host server is affected. OpManager provides an exclusive dashboard for VMware ESX servers showing details of every VM instance. You can even Start, Stop or Suspend guest OSs remotely through OpManager without having to switch between different tools.
Troubleshoot performance bottlenecks quickly using IT dashboards and server tools
OpManager stops not just with helping you identify bottlenecks though highly customizable dashboards; you can also start troubleshooting using various in-built network tools:
Monitor key business and network services: NNTP, FTP, LDAP, DNS, Windows Services...
