Galileo Performance Explorer Capabilities Enhance Storage Monitoring

The ATS Group,
creator of the cloud-based Galileo Performance
Explorer
performance monitoring tool for server and storage systems, has introduced a
series of enhancements that expand the tool’s scope of performance monitoring
for IBM DS3/4/5K storage hardware.

New built-in displays integrate DS3/4/5K hardware
configuration and storage capacity data right into Galileo’s user portal,
without requiring the user to log into the storage controller/system interface.
Configuration data includes hardware attributes, firmware/software revisions,
disk configurations, and array layout and sizes. Storage capacity data includes
total storage capacity, used capacity, and free capacity.

"These enhanced views are available with all
31 of the Galileo charts that document DS3/4/5K storage performance,"
notes Tim Conley, co-founder and principal partner, the ATS Group. "The
ability to see performance, configuration, and capacity information all on one
screen-without needing to leave the Galileo portal-makes it easier for users to
pinpoint performance issues and change strategies as a result."

A new zoom-in-chart management feature also enables
detailed scaling for all Galileo charts. Users are free to specify discrete
Y-axis values to eliminate skewed views that might otherwise occur as the
result of an exceptional single data point or ‘edge case.’

Galileo’s infrastructure monitoring options now
cover 242 charts and 293 metrics across AIX, Linux, and Windows servers and IBM
SVC, V7000, and DS3/4/5K storage systems. All features are available for user
evaluation via a free 30-day trial program available from ATS.
