RDPTop conversation pair split onto different hypervisor
Congested WAN creating slow app response time
Virus update affecting desktop performance
Load-balancer not evenly distributingto presentation servers
Sluggish DNS affecting accessto presentation servers
Code change broke app server relationship to database
iSCSI storage configured on wrong VLAN
85% of VI admins agree server metrics are not enough to manage app performance

VI/VDI Performance is Tied to a Dynamic Shared Infrastructure
• Insights have to be from more than just a vCenter vantage point
• Comprehensive data center visibility is essential

Dynamic Interaction Tracking is a “Must Have”
• Interactions must be tracked otherwise there is no
context for what’s driving resources – Live and historically
• Quick surges have to be visible to be understood– Interactions come and go in a blink of an eye– Reports will average out spikes– Storage latencies are missed in the majority of
environments
• Negative interactions have to be played back in a
way the other “silo” can see them
• Static relationships/dependencies are a notion of
the past– So are products based upon that model

Providence Challenge― Virtualize EMR app― Project stalled by 4 weeks― Existing monitoring solution couldn’t detect problem
Problem Identified― Intra-ESX communication
only visible with Xangati
― DVR recording shared with
app owner

“Smoking Gun” Myths & Red-light/Green-light Monitoring
MYTH #1
There is A smoking gun
REALITY
There are multiple shooters
WHAT’S MISSING
Ability to look into the othersilo with their vantage point
MYTH #2
Alerts point me to the smoking gun
REALITY
Alerts warn me my performance is “shot”
WHAT’S MISSING
Interactional context:The equivalent of a “motive”
