Companies already have different systems for monitoring its infrastructure. And they need a tool which can integrate with these systems.
So, we need a new, usable, tool. A tool without such problems. Information about cache from VNX1: And from VNX2: Information about disk, both output from VNX1 but with different firmware versions: To use naviseccli we need to know how to parse its output and we should consider all these features. Architecture Most companies use Graphite for monitoring infrastructure.
Graphite does two things: Store numeric time-series data Render graphs of this data on demand Graphite does not collect data, sending data to Graphite is very simple. Graphite consists of 3 software components: carbon — a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data whisper — a simple database library for storing time-series data similar in design to RRD graphite webapp — A Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo Getting data into Graphite is very flexible.
There are two type of methods: simple and flat. Simple means that we have only one parameter for one instance. Flat means that we have a list with instance name followed by the parameters name. For simple methods we specify what parameters we want to gather. For flat methods we specify pattern to separate instances and number and format of headers. Share this: Twitter Facebook.

Peters added that a more significant change for EMC is that it's targeting low-end channel resellers through its Velocity partner program , which it has not done previously to this extent. EMC's Gelsinger said the company plans on bringing "thousands" of new reseller partners into the program and accelerating the training cycle for salespeople from weeks or months to days. You'd never think of them as being in low-end cost leadership," he said. The array also now offers live migration of data between arrays, allowing seamless hardware upgrades.
EMC, however, was short on details about other new features on the box, and company representatives were unavailable to comment at deadline. Isilon's product, which it calls IQ nodes, are a modular NAS array that use the company's proprietary OneFS operating software to store and serve up large digital files that include audio, photos and video content.
Nearly one-third of Isilon's customers are in the media business. Clustered NAS systems offer a more economical way to build large-scale storage infrastructures without having to invest in proprietary, monolithic arrays. Using the pNFS protocol, a cluster's NAS system would be cheaper because it could use commodity servers like building blocks, adding them incrementally to clusters without disruption to the existing system.

These new features expand upon existing built-in capabilities, including advanced IP storage replication, automated volume management for optimized storage tiering and thin provisioning. The Celerra Data Deduplication feature showed a 25 percent reduction in the amount of primary data in our fileservice environment, while improving overall system performance.
Many of the files stored on the Celerra are large and deduplication will result in cost savings for the KIT with the benefit of faster access to the files. Unified storage is clearly an area where customers are getting this value as well as increasing the operational efficiency of their environments.
By consolidating VMware, Windows, Linux and Unix environments onto a single Celerra NS system, IT managers gain a tremendous amount of flexibility and the ability to deploy and update the latest storage technologies across all application environments as needs dictate.
