BVQ for Compute Platforms
BVQ End-to-End Analytics provides support to monitor your IBM PowerVM and VMware vSphere infrastructure.
Use all relevant information from IBM PowerVM and VMware in combination with Storage and SAN – fast, secure and proactively.
Visualization: At a glance, you can monitor all your Hypervisor systems and their VMs or LPARS across different HMCs/vCenters or data centers – not just individual, isolated Systems, but your entire infrastructure – end-to-end.
Optimization: Easily plan your IT requirements based on historical and current performance data and solve performance issues with the lightning-fast BVQ Analytics GUI.
Monitoring: Get early warning about misconfigurations, capacity bottlenecks or overloads and act proactively. Avoid single point of failures with automated redundancy checks.
With BVQ, answer your Compute performance status questions
- How healthy are my Hypervisors? Are there any risks or limits exceeded?
- How are the Hypervisors allocating the resources? Are storage or networks overloaded and causing issues?
E.g. at the application level. - Is a particular VM or LPAR overloading the infrastructure and thus affecting others?
- Are there any slow drainers impacting VM performance?
BVQ for IBM PowerVM
- Are my LPARs configured and can I easily shut down or maintain a Virtual I/O Server?
- Are my LPARs ready for Live Partition Mobility or Remote Restart?
- What vFC storage volumes or SAN switch ports do my LPARs depend on?
BVQ for VMware vSphere
- Are there CPU oversubscription problems in my hosts?
- Are there available systems where I can recover memory and
CPU before we buy new ones? - Is vSAN performance affected by resyncs in the disk groups?
- How can I prove that a problem is caused in the VMware layer or other layers of the infrastructure?
With the BVQ automated analytics system, web reporting, alerting and internal-external infrastructure integrations, you have all the tools needed to turn data into answers.
