AUSTIN, TX, Dec 01, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Server virtualization can greatly improve network efficiency;
it can also bring about a variety of new challenges that
demand unique responses. SolarWinds(R) Inc. (NYSE: SWI), a
leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management
software, today announced its latest virtualization and
storage free tool -- SolarWinds Storage Response Time
Monitor, to help target storage IO problems caused by server
virtualization in real time.
"If a user is experiencing a slow response time on a
virtual machine (VM), SolarWinds Storage Response Time
Monitor can quickly and easily give a snapshot report into
how VMware datastores are performing direct from the
user's desktop in real time," said Jonathan Reeve,
SolarWinds' Senior Director of Product Management.
"Using this data, the user can then determine whether
there is a VM issue or if the issue is related to
storage."
SolarWinds Storage Response Time Monitor connects to VMware
vSphere and monitors the top five host to datastore total
storage response times, providing users with the top five
virtual machines (VM) using the connections from an IO (IOPs)
perspective.
For iSCSI and Fibre channel datastore types, SolarWinds
Storage Response Time Monitor breaks down the total response
time into "kernel latency" (time spent in the host)
and "device latency" (time spent in the SAN).
SolarWinds Storage Response Time Monitor highlights:
-- Get at-a-glance insight into host to datastore connections with the
worst response times, and the busiest VMs using those connections
-- See a breakdown of the datastore including type, and device versus
kernel latency to understand if the bottleneck is in the host or the
SAN
Users that need more insight into storage performance and
capacity should download a free trial of SolarWinds Storage
Manager, Powered by Profiler to quickly and easily monitor
storage performance, isolate hotspots, automate storage
capacity planning, map VMs to physical storage, and more.
To gain a comprehensive and historical view of all
datastores, users should trial SolarWinds Virtualization
Manager.
Used together, SolarWinds Storage Manager and SolarWinds
Virtualization Manager integrate to provide unprecedented
visibility from the virtualization layer all the way to the
underlying physical storage.
Pricing and Availability
-- SolarWinds Storage Response Time Monitor is free and available on the
SolarWinds website.
-- Pricing for SolarWinds Virtualization Manager and SolarWinds Storage
Manager start at $2,995. For more information, visit the SolarWinds
