Product Name: BEST/1 Performance Assurance for UNIX
Product Description: BEST/1 Performance Assurance for UNIX is the first complete and integrated
facility for centrally managing the performance and capacity of multivendor
distributed UNIX environments. It operates on a wide variety of UNIX variants
including Sun, IBM, HP, and others, and includes support for RDBMSs such
as Oracle and Sybase. The product suite includes:
- BEST/1-Monitor with real-time intelligent alert and display subagents that
allows system managers to detect, analyze and resolve critical problems as
they occur. Alert and display policies are mapped to domains or individual
managed nodes. Alarm are forwarded to the BEST/1-Monitor console(s)
or, to frameworks such as SunNet Manager, NetView/6000 and OpenView
Action may be taken locally or remotely
-
BEST/1-Visualizer provides an integrated database and extensive graphical
facilities for communicating performance and capacity information from
UNIX and other enterprise platforms. The analyst can drill down from an
overall "status-at-a-glance" level to the details of performance on individual
systems using an exception-oriented approach and purpose-built graphics.
Usage can be tracked across multiple nodes.
-
BEST/1-Predict uses proven analytical modeling technology to determine
the impact of workload and configuration changes on performance. Changes
to CPU, memory
, I/O, priorities, transaction rates and mixes, and other attributes can be evaluated, even across multiple nodes. The
"what-if" analyses support sizing new applications, test-driving of tuning alternatives, and
planning capacity requirements.
