The IT infrastructure is becoming more complex each day with rapidly emerging converged infrastructures. Performance problems occur due to various factors in your environment. Identifying the performance problems and troubleshooting the problems quickly is crucial.
As part of your performance management strategy, you define performance goals and criteria for monitoring your environment. The performance problems occur when these predefined goals are not met. Use Ops Center Analyzer advanced troubleshooting features to quickly fix problems.
The following situations indicate a performance problem in your environment:
- An SLO violation occurs
Typically, SLAs define the SLOs to evaluate the quality of service. SLO profiles define the threshold values for the performance parameters that you use to evaluate the quality of service. When the threshold values are exceeded, an SLO violation occurs.
- A sharp deviation from the baseline data occurs
When no SLOs are defined for your environment, you can use the baseline values to evaluate your system performance. The current performance is compared to the past performance trends, and when there is a significant deviation from the baseline values, Ops Center Analyzer sends an alert to notify you of a potential performance problem so you have enough time to troubleshoot.

The customer notifies you of an application performance degradation and slowdown of the infrastructure.
The common causes for performance problems are as follows:
- Increased load in an otherwise stable operating environment
- Inefficient load balancing strategy, which might cause underutilization of resources
- Changes in the system configuration
- Resource management in a shared infrastructure
