Veritas grease wheels of utility computing
Storage software provider Veritas says the release of its new application performance management software will enable utility computing in Microsoft SQL Server environments.
Veritas i3 for SQL Server software enables a SQL Server application manager to monitor a transaction in real-time, from the end-user through the storage array, to optimise the application performance by rapidly detecting, correlating, diagnosing, and enabling correction of application performance problems. It supports the most popular business applications that run on top of the SQL Server database, including ERP applications such as the latest versions of SAP and PeopleSoft.
Utility computing represents a change in the way that IT delivers applications to business users, with applications managed to agreed-upon levels of availability and performance, adapting to changing business demands. Hardware and labour costs are reduced through leveraging shared pools of storage and servers and automatic provisioning of resources.
"The Microsoft SQL Server environment is rapidly growing as a platform of choice for developing and deploying business-critical applications," said Bob Maness, senior director of product marketing, Veritas. "Veritas i3 for SQL Server extends our support for SQL Server environments from storage arrays up through the database and application tiers, and provides a core building block of performance for customers evolving to a utility computing model."
