With Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer, you can define and monitor storage service-level objectives (SLOs) for resource performance. You can identify and analyze historical performance trends to optimize storage system performance and plan for capacity growth.
Using Ops Center Analyzer, you register resources (storage systems, hosts, servers, and volumes) and set service-level thresholds. You are alerted to threshold violations and possible performance problems (bottlenecks). Using analytics tools, you find which resource has a problem and analyze its cause to help solve the problem.
The following figure shows how Ops Center Analyzer ensures the performance of your storage environment based on real-time SLOs.
The system administrator uses Ops Center Analyzer to manage and monitor the IT infrastructure based on SLOs, which match the service-implementation guidelines that are negotiated under a service-level agreement (SLA) with consumers.
Ops Center Analyzer monitors the health of the IT infrastructure using performance indicators and generates alerts when SLOs are at risk.
Having data center expertise, the service administrator uses Ops Center Analyzer to assign resources, such as VMs and storage capacity from registered storage systems, to consumer applications. This manages critical SLO violations and ensures that service performance meets the SLAs.
