FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EMC Delivers “Cloud to Ground” Root-Cause Analysis for Data
Centres
Newest Ionix Server Manager Uniquely Integrates Physical and Virtual
Infrastructure Management, Enabling Rapid Resolution and Service
Assurance in Cloud Deployments
News Summary:
* The latest version of Ionix Server Manager delivers complete
virtualization visibility by adding discovery and monitoring of the
VMware® vSwitch. This new capability allows EMC to uniquely integrate
physical and virtual management, which solves a critical IT challenge by
eliminating management “blind spots.”
* Through integration with VMware vCenter and a full understanding of
the vSwitch, Server Manager automatically identifies virtual machines
(VMs) whose mis-configured virtual network settings have effectively
made these VMs – and the applications running on them – unavailable.
* With this new integration and understanding, EMC’s cross
correlation and analysis now spans VMs, vSwitches and virtual networks,
VMware ESX Servers, the physical network, and the rest of the IT
Infrastructure. The seamless, unified view of IT relationships that is
provided – spanning from virtual to physical – allows customers to
gain extensive insight and awareness into their virtualized data
centres.
* The addition of vSwitch discovery and monitoring uniquely extends the
scope of the EMC Ionix IT Operations Intelligence management suite to
help IT managers rapidly resolve problems and assure IT service
delivery, even as virtualization and cloud computing introduce their own
new management challenges.
Full Story:
EMCWORLD 2011 – LAS VEGAS – May 10, 2011 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:
EMC) today announced the availability of the newest version of its EMC®
IonixTM Server Manager software. Through rapid “Cloud to Ground”
discovery and analysis capabilities – newly enabled by integration
with vCenter and a full understanding of VMware’s vSwitch – EMC
Ionix Server Manager 3.0 enhances users’ ability to effectively manage
and troubleshoot virtualized data centre networks and infrastructure. By
extending automated discovery, root-cause analysis and business-impact
analysis through the virtual network, and down to the VM level, users
can immediately and accurately pinpoint and address issues in complex IT
infrastructures– whether in the physical or virtual environment, or
both.
As organizations expand server virtualization to include
mission-critical applications, ongoing VM creation, movement and use of
virtual networking introduces new challenges for data centre managers
when they need to isolate and resolve infrastructure issues. Similarly,
cloud infrastructures, by nature, are fluid and dynamic, requiring
management and analysis tools that are geared for rapidly changing
infrastructure. In virtualized data centre environments, the links
between physical and virtual infrastructure elements can also be a
potential problem source. Until now, however, mutually distinct tools
for the analysis of physical and virtual infrastructure were required.
This disparate and inefficient approach to problem resolution and
management unnecessarily places limits on an IT organization. EMC Ionix
Server Manager 3.0 changes all this by allowing a holistic approach to
virtualized data centre management.
Additional Product Highlights
EMC Ionix Server Manager 3.0:
* Discovers and monitors VMware vSwitches on ESX® servers
* Monitors the health of server clusters (another form of server
virtualization), including Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS), Symantec
Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) and BigIP F5 LoadBalancer servers
* Supports Microsoft
Hyper-V, in addition to VMware ESX
* Determines when key processes are unavailable
* Identifies when servers are operating in a degraded state (through
integration with IBM, HP, Dell and Oracle server hardware monitoring)
* Server Manager requires concurrent use of Ionix Service Assurance
Manager and Ionix IP Availability Manager.
Customer Quote
CompuCom, the leading IT outsourcing specialist, incorporates
international standards, real world experience, and ITIL best practices
into the company’s service desk, managed desktop, managed security,
data centre, remote infrastructure management and hosted virtual desktop
services.
"When a network or infrastructure issue arises, identifying the source
of the issue is critical, and often the identification process takes as
much as or more time than the actual fix. Virtualization adds another
dimension to the discovery process, so having the ability to discover
and monitor at the virtual machine level is essential as we continue to
expand our virtual environment. CompuCom’s implementation of Ionix
Server 3.0 allowed us to consolidate and streamline the management of
our physical and virtual infrastructure."
–Michael Cruise, Managing Solution Director, CompuCom
Industry Analyst Quote
“Virtualization management is clearly a growing area of focus for IT
managers – and for good reason. The inability of an enterprise manager
to be able to efficiently pinpoint and resolve infrastructure issues at
the virtual machine level is a potential stumbling block in the process
of deploying virtualization and cloud technologies. EMC’s Ionix Server
Manager 3.0 clears the way for effective problem resolution in these
environments, and delivers an elegant and efficient solution to the
management challenges that inevitably face IT managers as they enable
virtual and cloud-based infrastructures.”
–Jim Frey, Managing Research Director, Network Management, Enterprise
Management Associates
EMC Executive Quote
“The industry’s adoption of VMware ESX virtualization continues at
a torrid rate, yet the availability of management solutions that can
address the entire range of the resulting infrastructure has not kept
pace. Only EMC can offer a fully integrated and automated solution for
identifying the root cause and business impact of problems across
virtual and physical environments. The addition of Ionix Server Manager
3.0 extends the value of the EMC Ionix IT Operations Intelligence
solution suite, differentiates it with capabilities that competitors
simply can’t deliver, and helps enable customers to make their journey
to the cloud.”
–Jay Mastaj, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMC Ionix
