Date: April 29, 2009 Time: 8:30 a.m. PT; 4:30 p.m. GMT Free Registration: http://www.virtualinstruments.com/webinar.htmlThe webinar will introduce new research on the topic of virtual Infrastructure optimization (VIO) -- the market category of solutions designed to significantly improve the performance of virtualized applications and to help optimize the utilization of both storage and server resources. The hosts will highlight how IT managers and administrators can:
-- Tackle challenges associated with deploying virtualization for
performance sensitive, business-critical applications, including visibility
into and managing the internal cloud
-- Proactively avoid over-provisioning and under-provisioning of server
and storage assets
-- Track system interdependencies to accelerate identification of
performance choke points
-- Select monitoring and analysis tools with the instrumentation needed
to address today's scale and complexity
-- Gain clear visibility into real-time virtual SAN performance
-- Confidently deploy virtualization in business-critical environments
Speakers and audience participants -- who will be able to ask questions
during the event -- will discuss how new solutions enable administrators to
peer into multiple dimensions of the infrastructure in real-time and obtain
the integrated monitoring and analytics required to optimize and
troubleshoot virtual infrastructure performance holistically across every
element of the system -- from the application to the spindle.
From Mark Urdahl, CEO, Virtual Instruments: "As virtualization moves into
business-critical infrastructure in order to more fully achieve server
consolidation and reduce costs, IT managers no longer have the luxury of
deploying virtualization without understanding its impact on application
performance. The challenge is to deploy the right instrumentation solutions
that combine deep knowledge of the virtualized server environment and
comprehensive performance analysis of the Storage Area Network (SAN),
providing a single, comprehensive view of the complex maze of
interdependent systems and applications."
