AppDynamics announced a new solution that simplifies the monitoring and management of NetApp storage.
The solution enables enterprises to quickly and easily correlate performance characteristics between the databases and underlying NetApp storage, helping them identify and remediate infrastructure bottlenecks.
The AppDynamics solution for NetApp storage couples comprehensive NetApp storage performance monitoring capabilities with high-fidelity database monitoring for MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server and Sybase ASE, helping customers proactively pursue performance issues and deliver higher performing infrastructure for all their mission-critical applications.
The integrated AppDynamics solution can be used as a standalone deep-dive monitoring tool for NetApp storage, or it can be used to correlate performance anomalies across the database and storage.
Additionally, customers can use NetApp and Database monitoring in conjunction with the AppDynamics Application Performance Monitoring and End User Monitoring for full-stack visibility across the Client, Middleware, Database, and Storage tiers typical of modern, complex application architectures.
The AppDynamics and NetApp collaboration includes full support for 7-mode and Clustered Data ONTAP as well as a short-term roadmap for NetApp's E/EF series storage products. The solution currently supports intra-system monitoring for storage clusters, equipping customers with easy-to-use performance telemetry for HA and load-balancing systems.
Key features of AppDynamics for NetApp include the ability to:
- Show inbound and outbound throughput to gauge how well the environment is performing, and the type of I/O workload the storage system is performing.
- Monitor individual protocol operations to discover the type of activity being performed at any time of day or night e.g. CIFS, NFS, FCP, ISCSI etc.
- View current storage system performance metrics e.g. %CPU and Read/Write Latency
- View metrics and KPIs for all volumes
- Engage in 24x7 remote monitoring of NetApp Key Performance Indicators
- Facilitates root cause analysis of infrastructure issues e.g. Correlate I/O latency with database operations
- Proactive email alerting on storage system availability
