(COMTEX) B: DATAMETRICS: ViewPoint provides management of SAN at Gartner Group Storage 99 conference
AUG 6, 1999, M2 Communications - Datametrics Systems, provider of enterprise-wide multi-platform performance analysis solutions, has announced that its ViewPoint performance management software has been selected by Sequent to monitor the industry's only multi-path,
switched-fabric fibre channel Storage Area Network (SAN). On view in a recent, live demo at GartnerGroup's Storage 99 conference in Arizona, the SAN was developed by Sequent and partners EMC, Emulex, and Brocade Communications Systems Inc. It was configured as a geographically
separated, clustered system with 8 kilometers of single mode fibre connecting four cascaded switches, providing multiple redundant paths from the cluster through the switched fabric to the storage devices.
ViewPoint enabled attendees who viewed the SAN demonstration to directly observe the performance of the entire SAN demonstration environment, including the NUMA-Q systems (CPU, memory, I/O), fibre channel host adapters, Brocade switches, EMC storage and Oracle database software. "This conference was an ideal venue for
demonstrating not only the capabilities of the SAN, but also the critical importance of being able to measure the performance of the SAN as well as those components that rely on it," said Tony Dee, sales & marketing manager for Datametrics UK. "It also provided the first glimpse of ViewPoint's expanding capabilities enabling unified,
sophisticated performance analysis for groups of hardware and software components as they are increasingly being deployed by IT departments worldwide."
"Sequent's switched-fabric fibre channel SAN is literally years ahead of the competition and offers high-speed access to enterprise storage, centralised management, and non-disruptive scalability," said Jeff Pancottine, vice president worldwide marketing, Sequent Computer Systems. "Datametrics' ViewPoint software enables IT organisations to monitor complex environments and is an essential component of our SAN solution."
ViewPoint is a multi-platform performance management and analysis product for the entire enterprise that automatically monitors, analyses and correlates thousands of performance metrics simultaneously and at high speed, alerting and reporting problems before they become
critical. It also provides trend analysis, prediction, and simulation modeling for capacity planning - anticipating problems before they occur. ViewPoint can be used throughout a distributed computing environment and provides detailed performance management of business-critical systems running Compaq OpenVMS, Unisys Corporation
2200 and A Series, Windows NT and many UNIX platforms including Sun, HP and IBM. A leader in Windows-based performance analysis, ViewPoint is poised to exploit the evolving WBEM and CIM standards by already using
Java technology to present critical performance analysis information over the Internet.
