ProphetStor DiskProphet 2.0 Deliver Services With Accurate Predictions for Disks and Systems
With impact analysis with total visibility of correlation of virtualizations, and workload prediction and optimization
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 9, 2018 at 2:26 pmProphetStor Data Services, Inc. announced the availability of its patented data analytics and predictive solution for disk failures – DiskProphet 2.0, with expanded platforms and enhanced GUI for DiskProphet Server and DiskProphet.com cloud services.
DiskProphet 2.0 release features several capabilities and enhancements
that addresses challenges of software-defined datacenters:
-
Impact analysis with total visibility of correlation of virtualizations. A resource map is built from a hierarchical structure of VMware’s objects by collecting metadata from vCenter. With this structure, DiskProphet helps users identify VMs and datastores that are affected by a predictive disk failure.
-
Workload prediction and optimization. Prediction of physical hosts and VMs workload by using the advanced machine learning technology improves infrastructure resource utilization and reduces performance conflicts.
Highlight of this release is the support of VMware vSAN. DiskProphet 2.0 predicts the failure of the disks installed in ESXi hosts of a vSAN cluster. The users of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) usually suffer from significant performance degradation when vSAN re-balancing data among nodes after a disk failure. With DiskProphet’s disk failure and performance prediction capabilities, the data center operation can proactively prevent the impact of disk failures in a virtualization environment.
Features of DiskProphet 2.0 includes:
-
Provides REST API and data collection agents to feed SMART data and performance metrics into DiskProphet for predicting disk failure and performance
-
Applies state-of-the-art and US-patented machine learning technology to predict failure of disks, including HDDs and SSDs and across SATA and SAS
-
Predicts disk and host behavior, including performance and usage
-
Dashboard provides total visibility of disk performance and health status
-
Supports multiple platforms/operation Syste, including Linux, VMware vSAN, Ceph, and Nutanix
