OmniVision Investigation Benefits:
- Faster root cause identification
- Improvements in service quality
- Fewer tools, more efficient process
- Near-zero overhead on production systems
Systems availability and service degradation risks are heightened by the increasing complexity of IT environments, especially as virtualization deployments expand. Faced with constant change and an endless stream of issues to manage, IT organizations must expedite the identification of performance and availability issues to improve meant time to repair.
OmniVision Investigation streamlines problem investigations and speeds mean time to repair by providing continuous, comprehensive, and unobtrusive observation of systems operations across virtualized and physical server environments. It automates and standardizes traditional problem investigation techniques resulting in reduced operational costs and expedited root-cause identification.
OmniVision Investigation can reduce problem isolation and resolution times through improved:
Data Collection
Continuous, automated data collection replaces the time-consuming effort to develop custom scripts for each system targeted in a problem investigation project. Over 500 metrics are collected every 20 seconds from each monitored system to ensure even the smallest incident is not missed and that all evidence is available for analysis. Data collectors are available across numerous physical and virtualized systems, including PowerVM™, Solaris™ Zones, and VMware® environments.
Data Analysis
OmniVision Investigation provides normalized performance metrics and numerous native technical metrics across all monitored systems to enable standardized problem investigation regardless of hardware or operation system. With the ability to "replay" recent performance histories, analysis can start immediately. Using real-time data with automated historical reports, investigators can quickly assess whether a problem is a one-time event or a recurring issue, ensuring an accurate recommendation.
Reporting
OmniVision Investigation offers predefined, customizable reports allowing for expedited analysis of the infrastructure. By presenting data from multiple layers of infrastructure in a single report, investigators can assess, compare, and correlate data to better understand the impact of related activities. Automated historical reporting provides a consistent communication platform so less time is required for interpretation of assessment results.
