Cloud Monitoring

Performance management instrumentation is flexible and well adapted to virtualized environments, including agent-based monitoring and virtual appliances to capture vital performance information on servers and on the network. A combination of physical and virtual appliances may be used to monitor end-user experience from outside the cloud.

Benefits:

• Troubleshoot application performance problems faster
• Use cloud resources efficiently
• Verify that the service provider is meeting service level commitments
• Plan for application deployment in the cloud

Capabilities for Managing Performance in the Cloud:
Cloud deployment models differ in terms of the scope of IT resources that are controlled by the cloud provider versus the user. OPNET solution capabilities support a range of cloud models.

• Agent-based data collection can be instantiated in the cloud along with server images
• Virtualized appliances provide visibility in the cloud and among virtual servers
• Accurate application dependency maps are generated automatically to ensure that the right components are migrated to the cloud
• Software-based management consoles can be installed in the cloud
• A combination of passive and active monitoring to support a variety of cloud models
• Network performance can be measured along any network path to isolate the source of a problem to the cloud provider or your environment

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node overheads and high concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set of operating systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on thousands of clusters around the world. It has been used to link clusters across university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000 nodes.

Rather than just monitor their server, GFI MAX RemoteManagement takes a more rounded approach to IT support. With our system, you'll be able to monitor your clients' Raid arrays, remote offices, ISP connection, bandwidth usage, their website - and their server. In short, we help you monitor the key parts of their 'whole system' that cause the most grief - and alert you proactively so you can take better care of clients at less cost.

With InterMapper Cloud Monitoring you'll:

• ensure that auto-scaling is appropriate to your actual cloud compute needs locate virtual servers that are “lost in the cloud
• diagnose the root cause of virtual server failures
• monitor software installed on virtual servers to smooth configuration management over a large number of servers
• save time on monitoring tool set-up and management with automated agent deployment
