Galileo Performance Monitoring Agent Empowers Analysis

Galileo Performance Explorer by the ATS Group, an IBM Premier Business Partner, is a cloud-based performance monitoring tool for server and storage systems released with two infrastructure charting tools for IBM XIV storage systems and IBM AIX OSs.

A new XIV storage agent extends the power of Galileo’s IBM storage monitoring to this storage system. Enhancements to the existing AIX agent add configuration and capacity data within the Galileo portal.

“The opportunities for XIV storage monitoring are the most extensive of any Galileo agent to date,” says Tim Conley, co-founder, Galileo Performance Explorer. “This new performance monitoring tool agent tracks 226 metrics in 93 charts encompassing subsystems, modules, pools/pools cache, volumes/volumes cache, hosts/hosts cache, ports, and host ports.”

Its addition expands Galileo coverage to 335 charts and 519 metrics across three server and three storage agents. The new XIV agent also enables users to view configuration and capacity data right within the Galileo portal.

Galileo’s recently upgraded agent for AIX server performance monitoring gives administrators the ability to incorporate server configuration and capacity data within their custom dashboard in the Galileo portal as well. It aids their ability to understand Galileo report data without having to log into the server directly.

Both new Galileo capabilities are accessible for evaluation via a free 30-day trial program.

Galileo delivers hundreds of analytical perspectives on server and storage hardware and virtualization environments for decision makers. These insights go far beyond reactive alarms to support performance of physical and virtual servers and storage, supporting IBM AIX, Linux, Windows, and IBM SVC, Storwize V7000, XIV, and DS3/4/5K storage. Built on a SaaS architecture, Galileo installs in minutes, without onsite data or hardware requirements.
