Visibility to Virtualized Applications

Why are more tier 3 apps virtualized than tier 2 apps? Why haven't you virtualized your tier 1 apps? If you're like the vast majority of respondents to recent IT surveys on this question the answer is 'Visibility'. It's no secret that virtualization causes major visibility issues when you are trying to diagnose a problem.

If you are lucky enough to be fully instrumented with infrastructure monitoring systems like Microsoft Systems Center and APM solutions like CA Wily, you could always attempt to cross correlate their outputs against vCenter stats. Right? Well yes if you had a few months to solve a service disruption incident in a mission critical app.

This is what Prelert does automatically for you. Prelert interfaces with vCenter's standard interface to collect performance, metrics, vm allocation data and logs and alerts. This information is then automatically correlated with information collected from other monitoring systems like Wily and Microsoft.

The result is clear visibility across the infrastructure stack. Visibility that gives you the confidence to virtualize even your critical business applications.

Prelert - Self-Learning Analytics

Prelert's highly advanced analytics processes millions of performance metrics and event logs, collected from monitoring tools like CA Wily Introscope, Microsoft Perfmon and vCenter in real time. Prelert self-learns the baseline behavior of the applications and how they interact with their environment at every layer of the infrastructure stack.

When a problem occurs, Prelert has already isolated the set of monitoring data related to the issue. The result is not only the proactive identification of a problem, often before users experience disruption, but the real-time isolation of the problem's root cause.
