Visualize, analyze and optimize your entire storage infrastructure to ensure optimal performance for your virtual servers with complete visibility into your critical storage subsystems. Foglight for Storage Management (formally vFoglight Storage) combines information from storage arrays and fabrics with the information available from VMware vCenter to provide unified data analysis from the virtual machine (VM) down to the physical disk spindle. This solution allows you to control operating expenses (OPEX) and limit capital expenditures (CAPEX) by maximizing capacity utilization of your existing storage arrays during virtualization, consolidation and cloud initiatives. Foglight for Storage Management delivers the full view of virtualization performance by: Uncovering when VM performance issues are originating within storage hardware Identifying which VMs will be impacted by storage issues or planned storage hardware maintenance Exposing physical storage capacity as a component of VM performance Allowing the virtualization administrators and the storage administrators to troubleshoot from a single pane of glass

- Today’s presentation will focus on how Foglight for Storage Management provides unparalleled insight into you physical storage infrastructure.
- Let’s start by taking a look at the variables driving IT transformation.It is the age of the customer and businesses must continually re-evaluate the value propositions they present to their customers in order to remain competitive. Businesses are becoming more customer-centric, not only to drive customer retention, but also to capture value from providing new products and services. The ultimate goal is to drive maximum innovation at minimum cost.Cutting edge applications are carving the way for IT users to deliver world class service and get their job done faster. IT users expect new applications to be rolled out quickly, and expect them to be available any time and anywhere.As technology is the biggest enabler to meet these business goals, IT transformation is occurring at an unprecedented rate. As Infrastructure and Operations professionals are faced with increased expectations to deliver business value, they are expected to not only reduce the total cost of the data center, but also drive agility, quickly deploy new applications, and deliver the highest level of performance. This “deliver more with less” conundrum is about having the ability to quickly and agilely scale the capacity of the data center up or down as business requirements change at the lowest possible cost.
- As virtualization has become a nearly ubiquitous technology in the modern datacenter, the need to connect the underlying infrastructure to the virtual machines (VM’s) is now critical in meeting SLA’s, planning for future Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and controlling Operating Expenses (OPEX).VMware has been quoted as stating that the Physical Storage to VM relationship can be identified as the cause of as much as 77% of all VM performance issues.When you take into account that IDC is putting a nearly $10,000.00 per hour price tag on down-time and degraded performance, it becomes an expensive proposition to have anything impact VM performance.It’s important to understand that the VM-to-Physical disk relationship typically spans more than one area of administrative responsibility. Again looking to VMware for expert opinions here, lack of visibility into the impact of physical storage on the virtual environment is a top 3 concern for todays virtual admins.And according to IDC, the concern is well founded. As we continue to virtualize more of our business critical applications, storage capacity needs are forecast to grow by as much as 40% annually.
- Virtualization has allowed businesses to effectively control Capital Expenses, by lowering the cost of the data center hardware; however, businesses are now focusing on how to control Infrastructure complexity and the added operational expenditures that come with it. Dell Software’s virtualization operations management suite helps simplify the complexity of today’s modern data centers to help I&O professionals deliver on top priorities, resolve problems before they affect business-critical applications, and ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction. We provide the single pane of glass into heterogeneous environments that administrators need to take control of their virtualized data center. Our enterprise class operations performance management software helps virtualization experts strike the right balance to realize the true cost savings of virtualization and cloud technologies.
- Virtual management is about more than simply having visibility into the performance of your hypervisor – it’s about having End-to-Everything granularity from the physical disk to the Virtual machine.Foglight for Storage Management provides deep storage analysis across a wide range of vendors that today inlcudes; EMC, NetApp, HP, Brocade, Cisco, Hitachi and the Dell Compellent and EqualLogic family of products.And beyond just storage, with the Foglight common architectural framework – you can integrate virtualized application and OS platform coverage to your existing Foglight for Storage Management deployment.
- Foglight for Virtualization and Storage is trusted by almost 6,000 organization across the globe to keep their virtual data center running optimally.
- Complete and granular performance monitoring – get the insight to know what is happening in your virtualized data center, as well as the advice and automation necessary to take action now.
- Achieve true End-to-Everything visualization with VM-to-disk topology – pinpoint exactly where performance issues originate and eliminate the “Blame Game”The Virtual Machine view provides the
