Overview
Xangati is the recognized leader in performance management solutions for cloud and virtualization environments. The Xangati suite of performance management software has a fundamentally unique architecture that automatically tracks down contention storms that are intermittently plaguing the performance of dynamic shared data center/cloud environments. At the heart of Xangati’s differentiation is its patented performance management engine which processes dozens of critical performance metrics for every object (i.e. VM, host, datastore, application, network, end-user, etc.) in your cloud/virtual ecosystem. The in-memory performance management engine and its highly scalable architecture will keep an active pulse on the performance health of the entire cloud infrastructure and when a contention issue arises the system will immediately alert you to the silo responsible for the performance issue. Additionally, the Xangati precision alerts are paired with a live and continuous visual recording capability that shows the contention storm as it emerges and grows in your infrastructure. This way the operations team has actionable insights to remediate the issue.
The performance management engine is available in any Xangati virtual appliance you download. Here are some of the major business benefits your organization will achieve through the deployment of Xangati’s software solutions.
- Dramatic improvements in performance assurance of your virtualized applications and end-users
- Maximized investment through a solution that covers your growth from server virtualization to desktop virtualization to the cloud
- Accelerated time to problem resolution of over 70% allowing senior IT staff to focus on strategic projects
- Enhanced customer satisfaction with greater transparency in engaging with line of business customers
- Proactively preparing for additional hardware requirements so optimal performance is maintained
- Optimization of current cloud/virtual environments through great understanding of the interactions between servers, network, storage and applications.
List of top differentiated features:
- Live and continuous UI with second-by-second visualization with “DVR” scroll-bar allows administrators to see what is happening right now in their environment
- In-memory performance management engine that has an object-handling time at the microsecond level in contrast to database-driven solutions that can only provide post-mortem insights
- Cross-silo (network, server, hypervisor, storage, desktop, client, application) interactions tracked in 3600
- Proactive performance health index with alerts that come with DVR recordings showing the source of contention storms in high resolution detail. Alert recordings can be shared across the various IT disciplines to immediately remediate issues.
- Correlation of cross-silo metrics to illuminate multi-dimensional performance issues—e.g. problems fluctuating between storage contention and CPU contention
- Ability to guest processes and VDI end-users without the need for guest-level software agents
- Performance management and capacity management offered as an integrated solution with a common dashboard
- Capability for end-users, application owners to generate problem recordings for the Xangati administrator to review at a later time
- vCenter alerts can trigger DVR recordings on the Xangati system
- Ability to track virtual and physical servers in one common dashboard
“VMware View combined with the Xangati VDI Dashboard enables us to quickly identify and resolve both network- and storage-related infrastructure issues impacting performance, and gives us the confidence to push forward to the next stage of the rollout.”
–Rory Clements, Virtualization Architect EMEA, CBRE
The following Xangati products are available through the website for download.
- Xangati Management Dashboard (XMD) Product Suite includes the leading Infrastructure Performance Management Solutions for server virtualization (VI) and VDI:
- Xangati VI Dashboard tracks all the virtual and physical infrastructure components—including applications—that affect virtual infrastructure performance. The VI dashboard leverages Xangati’s unique performance management engine to keep an administrator proactively apprised of the live and continuous health of their infrastructure without requiring software agents.
- Xangati VDI Dashboard is the industry’s first solution to comprehensively track all key infrastructure components that affect VDI performance for both VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop environments. The VDI dashboard leverages Xangati’s tight integrations with VMware and Citrix to present end-to-end session statistics for PCoIP and HDX (ICA) and to track end-users without requiring guest-level software agents.
- Xangati for vSphere – Free is an award-winning free tool that provides visibility into the activity of a single ESX(i)host and ten guest VMs. This is the only full-featured cross-silo free tool on the market covering performance management, capacity management and an ability to be leveraged for both VI and VDI.
- Xangati Remote Object Viewer provides authorized administrator users direct visibility into the activity and resource usage of a given IT object: such as a datastore, a network segment, an application or a specific server VM. It provides proactive performance alerting for the owner of the specific object without requiring access to vCenter or to a full Xangati dashboard.
