ORSYP announced a major release of the Sysload agent used to monitor and analyze the performance of IBM POWER Systems.
Capturing dedicated VIO (Virtual I/O) Server metrics, Sysload further enhances IBM users’ ability to eliminate bottlenecks and delays, reduce problem resolution times, optimize resource utilization, and ensure provisioning of server capacity is aligned to meet future operational demands. Sysload users have enjoyed a reduction in IBM Power capital expenditure by up to 50%, and a decline in operational costs of nearly 30%.
While IBM POWER offers users flexibility when virtualizing physical assets, it also presents the challenge of ensuring logical partitions (LPARs) are optimally configured. Failure to right size when allocating I/O resource can result in contention and delays, directly degrading end-user service. Sysload users gain granularity of VIO Server resource usage by leveraging new metrics for shared Ethernet adapters and physical I/O devices. These details inform the decisions they make when configuring and sizing IBM POWER resource allocations.
“For IBM users it is very difficult to predict what I/O activities LPARs will generate,” commentedYann Guernion, ORSYP Product Marketing Manager. “A change in behaviour can be devastating so effective monitoring of VIO Server performance is essential. The improvements in the latest Sysload agent mean IBM POWER users will spend less time fire-fighting and IT Operations Managers will be alerted to problems before users are affected. With extra facts and figures on how systems are performing, they will have more scope when pooling applications as well as the ability to realize cost savings when planning upgrades."
