Maintain Service Level Requirements by Extending QoS From the Server Layer Into the I/O Layer

With the increasing deployment of VMware ESX servers for mission-critical applications, it becomes even more important to maintain the performance of these applications in virtual machines. The complexity of virtualization, especially when server and storage resources are shared across multiple components, makes it more difficult for an administrator to detect and solve performance problems. Using CLARiiON Navisphere Quality of Service (NQM) and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler allows to maintain application service levels in virtual machines. This greatly minimizes the time and resources needed to manage and fix performance issues. The attendee of this webcast will learn best practices for deploying NQM in VMware environments and see a product demonstration.
