Brocade and VMware join forces to improve SAN Management

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

Brocade and VMware join forces to improve SAN Management 
Brocade(NASDAQ:BRCD) has reportedly collaborated with VMware to develop a new management pack that enables enterprises to proactively manage Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs) operating within highly virtualized environments to lower operational costs and increase application availability.

Specifically, Brocade has collaborated with VMware to develop the Brocade SAN Analytics Management Pack for the VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite, which automatically sends real-time SAN health and performance metrics information from Brocade SAN fabrics into vCenter Operations Management Suite. The integration leverages the unique behavioural learning functionality in vCenter Operations Management Suite to provide useful baseline metrics and trending information for data traffic, as well as identifying SAN bottlenecks between servers and storage to enable more proactive application performance monitoring. This further simplifies SAN operations management and lowers operational costs by reducing the time to troubleshoot issues, thereby resulting in faster recovery and increased availability of VM-resident applications.

"Today, the IT staff have limited visibility into the Fibre Channel SAN from VMware management tools, leading to more time spent troubleshooting issues and increased downtime, degraded application performance, and underutilized resources. With the Brocade SAN Analytics integration with vCenter Operations Management Suite, administrators will have an aggregated view across the entire virtual infrastructure within vCenter Operations Management Suite, including SAN and storage, enabling them to quickly isolate problems and focus troubleshooting efforts on the right location. As a result, time-to-resolution of issues is reduced from days and hours, to minutes," said Jack Rondoni, Vice-President, Data Center Storage and Solutions, Brocade.

At VMworld, the company will demonstrate the Brocade SAN Analytics Management Pack for vCenter Operations Management Suite in the Brocade booth (#1513) at the Moscone Convention Center. In addition, the company will present and discuss this new SAN functionality at a session titled "Health, Risk and Efficiency......See More
