Challenge: VM/VDI Stall

Business Critical Applications • Avg. # of servers virtualized is 25% — ESG

• 82% of VI admins do not have confidence in their tools for managing performance of business critical apps

• In 50% of environments app owners are responsible for slowing down rate of server virtualization

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)• 83% of VDI teams say end-user satisfaction (#1 success

criteria) is key to success for VDI pilots

• Yet…55% want more visibility into why end-user experience issues are occurring

Server Metrics are Just Starting Point

What server metrics can’t show you– Infrastructure response time– Communications between the layers of a multi-tier

application• Both before and after virtualization

– Virtual desktops communicating with VDI clients

85% of VI admins agree server metrics are not enough to manage app performance

Presentation Servers

Databases

LoadBalancer

Sluggish DNS affecting access to presentation servers

Congested WAN creating slow app response time

Load-balancer not evenly distributing to presentation servers

iSCSI storage configured on wrong VLAN

Top conversation pair split onto different hypervisor

Virus update affecting desktop performance Code change broke app

server relationship to database
