CHALLENGES : PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE FOR LATENCY SENSITIVE APPLICATIONS As IT organizations adopt agile delivery models that improve speed and responsiveness, they place increased demands on the underlying infrastructure that support business critical applications. While highly virtualized and abstracted converged infrastructures accelerates IT’s ability to scale to meet workload demands, they also create new challenges for guaranteeing the performance and availability. To manage these environments, IT teams are leveraging old technologies that were not purpose-built to handle today’s complex and ever-changing infrastructure, preventing them from delivering business-aligned service levels. Managing application performance in these virtualized environments is becoming very complex thereby making it very difficult to identify underlying issues that might be impacting performance.

THE SOLUTION : VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS VIRTUALWISDOM4 FOR VSPEX; END USER COMPUTING WITH EMC XTREMIO VirtualWisdom4® has been proven on EMC VSPEX to guarantee the performance and availability of highly virtualized infrastructure that supports the most demanding, IO intensive workloads. VirtualWisdom4 seamlessly integrates into VSPEX XtremIO infrastructures to deliver unparalleled visibility into the system-wide fiber channel compute stack that ensures service levels are consistently maintained, and any performance related issues are quickly identified and resolved.

VSPEX Proven Infrastructure accelerates deployment of private cloud, virtual desktop and virtualized applications. Built with best-of-breed virtualization, server, network, storage and backup, VSPEX enables faster deployment, more simplicity, greater choice, higher efficiency, and lower risk. VSPEX provides a virtual infrastructure for customers looking to gain simplicity that is characteristic of truly converged infrastructures while at the same time gaining more choice in individual stack components.
