Agenda
• Operational need for vCenter performance management
plug-in
• Xangati further extends its technology leadership – 3rd major release in 12 months– 360o cross-silo performance management– Displays PCoIP performance in technicolor
• Fortifies best free troubleshooting tool on market
• Establishes “budget-friendly” price points

Why is Performance Management the Hot Issue?
• Server virtualization (VI)• “Virtualization first” = “all in” for performance
management• Upping the stakes means more than vCenter can
provide
• Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)• “Hosted Virtual Desktops (HVD) is trading a
configuration management challenge for a performance challenge.”
—Terry Cosgrove, Principal Analyst,
Gartner
• vCenter is NOT the center of a VDI admins universe

Performance Management of VI/VDI Has to Be Cross-Silo

VI/VDI Performance is Tied to a Dynamic Shared Infrastructure
• Insights have to be from more than just a vCenter vantage point
• Comprehensive data center visibility is essential

Dynamic Interactions Must Be Visible…

…or Else the Performance Ripple Effect Can’t be Tracked

Dynamic Interaction Tracking is a “Must Have”
• Interactions must be tracked otherwise there is no context for what’s driving resources – Live and historically
• Quick surges have to be visible to be understood– Interactions come and go in a blink of an eye– Reports will average out spikes– Storage latencies are missed in the majority of
environments• Negative interactions have to be played back in a
way the other “silo” can see them• Static relationships/dependencies are a notion of
the past– So are products based upon that model

“Smoking Gun” Myths & Red-light/Green-light Monitoring
MYTH #1There is A smoking gun
REALITYThere are multiple shooters
WHAT’S MISSINGAbility to look into the othersilo with their vantage point
MYTH #2Alerts point me
to the smoking gun
REALITYAlerts warn me my
performance is “shot”
WHAT’S MISSINGInteractional context:
The equivalent of a “motive”

Summary of Benefits of New Storage Insights
• Removing storage blind spot for VI/VDI admins
• Seeing fluctuations not visible with basic products
– Latency alerts for other products might never show
up
• Identifying rapidly which VM is slamming which data
store
• Sharing vCenter storage info without vCenter login
• Saving $$ because Xangati doesn’t charge for storage
insights

Going Deeper into Guest VM without Adding Agent
• Xangati pulls Window Management Interface (WMI) stats
• Provides context of what processes are driving resources
• Both ad hoc drill-in and linked to DVR recordings– Context coupled with an alert
• Server virtualization use case– Poorly coded proprietary application process hanging up CPU
• VDI use case– AV slowing bogging down the desktop
