Virtual Instruments and Panduit Provide Holistic Performance Monitoring Capabilities for EMC VSPEX for End User Computing with XtremIO Proven Infrastructure
November 2014 by Marc Jacob
Virtual Instruments a provider of infrastructure performance management (IPM) solutions and Panduit, a provider of Unified Physical InfrastructureSM (UPI)-based solutions, today announced a new solution for EMC® VSPEX® for End User Computing with XtremIO™ proven infrastructure. The technology integration delivers a proven approach to deploying converged infrastructure with embedded performance monitoring across all systems and environments. This enhanced solution will provide EMC customers and partners with comprehensive visibility and definitive insight into their infrastructures’ functions and operations across all virtualised and cloud environments.
The EMC VSPEX for End User Computing with XtremIO architecture is targeted at the most demanding application I/O requirements for end user computing where transaction level performance is required. Through collaboration with Virtual Instruments’ VirtualWisdom infrastructure performance management (IPM) and Panduit tapped fiber cassettes, the new XtremIO offering gives users the ability to collect, monitor, and analyse granular real-time data at the storage protocol layer through to the virtualisation layer. This solution enables customers to optimise EMC VSPEX with XtremIO deployments to ensure increased application performance and availability, and highly efficient hardware utilisation.
Virtual Instruments and Panduit created the EMC VSPEX with XtremIO integrated offering to help streamline platform configurations for quick and consistent deployments of virtualised desktop infrastructure and applications.
Panduit provides the cabling infrastructure, including QuickNet™ Tapped Fiber Cassettes, which enables Virtual Instruments to integrate the additional layer of intelligence and infrastructure performance management technology into the EMC VSPEX with XtremIO architecture. Such deployments will enable EMC partners to provide customers with expanded services and support for mission-critical workloads.
With the explosion of virtualised applications across software defined data centres, enterprises are beginning to proactively instrument performance management capabilities at the time of deployment. This reference architecture enables customers to deliver embedded performance management capabilities to identify and fix any performance degradation in real-time.
EMC delivery partner World Wide Technology (WWT) is the first to offer this embedded performance management architecture to optimise EMC VSPEX flash workloads, as well as to give customers a highly available converged platform that provides built-in performance and monitoring diagnostic capabilities.
