Overview

Xangati is the leading provider of infrastructure performance management solutions that accelerate virtualization with confidence. Enterprises, governments, healthcare organizations, and cloud-computing providers use the Xangati solution to infuse better design, optimization, and troubleshooting techniques into their complex virtualization initiatives.

From the P2V re-deployment of business critical applications to virtual desktop infrastructure, (VDI) customers face two main challenges negatively affecting the success of their highly visible projects and the speed at which they were virtualizing. Those two challenges are:

1. Resistance from application owners/business users to virtualization

Nearly 50% of virtualization infrastructure (VI) administrators point to application owners being responsible for slowing down the rate of server virtualization
Over 60% of those involved in VDI see business users as the biggest challenge to full-scale VDI deployments

2. Insufficient infrastructure performance management

87% of the virtualization experts surveyed highlight that server performance metrics (CPU, memory, disk statistics) are NOT sufficient to effectively manage the performance of business-critical applications on a VI.
82% of the administrators surveyed did NOT have confidence in the tools at their disposal to manage the performance of business-critical applications on the VI.

Xangati is differentiated from all other performance management solutions through its patented Infrastructure Performance Management (IPM) solution set. Xangati’s comprehensive approach to IPM delivers continuous tracking of performance and dependencies of all the critical components comprising the IT infrastructure, including servers, network, storage, applications, end devices, and their end users. Xangati presents this information both across the virtual and physical infrastructure in a single pane of glass.

Xangati’s IPM solution can be a pivotal element for the operational support of a business-critical application. In that regard, Xangati continuously monitors all the critical infrastructure response time measurements to assure an application owner that the VI is delivering the performance a given application needs. In the case of VDI, Xangati’s IPM solutions can be leveraged to assess the physical network infrastructure to understand what applications can be green-lighted for VDI over low-capacity networks like the WAN or Wireless LAN (WLAN).

Xangati is headquartered in Cupertino, California with a development center in Pune, India. Xangati, derived from the Sanskrit word “Sangati”, means community or gathering together with the highest intention of learning. Xangati was founded in 2006 when the founders looked at existing infrastructure management solutions and found them to be lacking. These legacy solutions hadn’t really changed while the data center and its infrastructure were undergoing dramatic change. Xangati has been and remains a pioneer at bringing innovative thinking and innovative solutions that deliver considerable value to its customers and partners.

Xangati’s first customers were telco service providers whose customers depended on them for fixed line and wireless broadband. Xangati provided intelligence into who was doing what, providing the telcos with unprecedented information and visibility into subscriber activity. When virtualization hit, Xangati offered its proven technology as virtual appliances so every enterprise organization could reap the benefits. Below are just a few of the many industry firsts Xangati has had over the last few years.
