Guarantee Application Quality of Service
Ensuring end-user QoS for multi-tier applications is increasingly difficult due to sizing capacity to support unpredictable loads, identifying performance bottlenecks and relying on a patchwork of availability solutions. VMware vSphere enables administrators to ensure end-user QoS by automatically providing the right levels of application availability and scalability using built-in Application Services. Application availability and scalability levels can be dialed up or down dynamically as business requirements evolve so you can meet QoS requirements in the most cost-effective way.
Scale Applications Dynamically to Ensure Service Levels
Monitor performance and pinpoint bottlenecks: Get deep visibility into the performance of applications running on VMware vSphere with VMware vCenter AppSpeed. Automatically discover applications and map the flow of transactions through multiple application tiers and infrastructure components. Monitor end-user QoS and pinpoint bottlenecks to individual applications and virtual machines. Optimize infrastructure sizing decisions to ensure end-user QoS while minimizing infrastructure costs.
Scale applications dynamically: Scale your applications dynamically to ensure QoS under variable load. Re-size virtual machines on the fly with hot-add of virtual CPU and memory, scale capacity up or down using VMware VMotion and VMware DRS, or scale out applications by provisioning new instances in minutes. Eliminate the need to overprovision capacity to support variable loads.
Protect All Applications with Simple and Cost-Effective Availability
"For instance, our clinical care application started off in tier three. We noticed that the CPU was starting to ramp up as we added more functionality, so we moved it up to tier one, adding more processors and more virtual memory. We were able to grow the application without having to reinstall it on new hardware. Once we moved it to hardware with more processing power, the application just hummed along."
— Tom Gibaud, Manager of Information Technology, ViaHealth
Eliminate planned downtime: Planned downtime is typically the number one cause of downtime and creates significant organizational overhead with the negotiation of inconvenient maintenance windows days ahead of time. Eliminate planned downtime for hardware maintenance with VMware VMotion. When a physical host requires hardware maintenance, use VMotion to move applications off that host for the duration of the maintenance, with no impact to application availability.
Protect all applications with simple high availability: Simplify application availability by eliminating the need to use complex application-specific clustering solutions. Protect all of your applications from hardware failures with VMware HA and VMware Fault Tolerance, which are automatically available to all applications running on VMware vSphere. VMware HA provides automated restart of virtual machines in the event of hardware or OS failure, while VMware Fault Tolerance ensures continuous availability by keeping a secondary virtual machine in exact lockstep with the primary.
Provide cost-effective disaster recovery for all applications. Protect all of your applications from disasters with VMware Disaster Recovery solutions. Use VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager to ensure fast, successful recovery by automating the recovery process and eliminating the complexity of managing and testing customized recovery plans for each application.
