Performance management instrumentation is flexible and well adapted to virtualized environments, including agent-based monitoring and virtual appliances to capture vital performance information on servers and on the network.
A combination of physical and virtual appliances may be used to monitor end-user experience from outside the cloud.
Benefits:
- Troubleshoot application performance problems faster
- Use cloud resources efficiently
- Verify that the service provider is meeting service level commitments
- Plan for application deployment in the cloud
Capabilities for Managing Performance in the Cloud:
Cloud deployment models differ in terms of the scope of IT resources that are controlled by the cloud provider versus the user. OPNET solution capabilities support a range of cloud models.
- Agent-based data collection can be instantiated in the cloud along with server images
- Virtualized appliances provide visibility in the cloud and among virtual servers
- Accurate application dependency maps are generated automatically to ensure that the right components are migrated to the cloud
- Software-based management consoles can be installed in the cloud
- A combination of passive and active monitoring to support a variety of cloud models
- Network performance can be measured along any network path to isolate the source of a problem to the cloud provider or your environment
