Performance Management -8- The implications of virtualized infrastructures Virtualization has become essential to consolidation projects and to achieve a rapid return on IT investments. With their innovating virtualization functions, Bull Escala servers allow consolidation of multiple applications on a single physical server, while optimizing available resources. This flexibility enables rapid implementation of new applications, while significantly reducing costs. Although the benefits are clear, the dynamic nature of these virtualization technologies is nevertheless often perceived as a complexifying factor when it comes to administration and service quality analysis. The implementation of appropriate performance management tools eliminates this apparent complexity. Resource management, a major challenge Administrators of virtualized Escala systems need to have a general view of CPU and memory usage, as well as graphs and reports based on relevant indicators. They need tools that are capable of analyzing the information collected and producing reports on the capacity and actual utilization of systems. These tools must enable proactive management in order to anticipate and make the right decisions, such as for risk control in consolidation projects or planning for future investments. Bull Performance Report, a performance management software suite Bull Performance Report is a comprehensive information system performance management solution ensuring efficient management of Bull Escala virtualized environments. It provides IT managers and administrators with all the elements needed to optimize resource allocation, enabling proactive management and anticipation of possible incidents and future needs. It results in increased user satisfaction and an optimal return on investment. Bull Performance Report is available in two complementary editions: Bull Performance Report Enterprise Edition produces summary reports on information system behavior and provides the information needed to make the right decisions and allocate resources according to needs. Bull Performance Report Enterprise Edition is perfectly adapted to virtualized server environments, in particular Bull Escala servers, and enables IT managers to coordinate their entire infrastructure efficiently and deliver optimal service to users while keeping costs under control. Bull Performance Report Server Edition is a reporting tool developed by Bull to meet an inherent need of virtual server management: it provides a precise and global view of all of the processor resources of Bull Escala servers, in terms of both quantity and quality.
A comprehensive Ecosystem A wide range of applications to cover all IT requirements, from back office to front office Escala benefits from all the advantages of IBM and Bull developments for Unix infrastructures; it supports more than 15,000 applications, covering all IT requirements from back office through to front office.
