Virtualization

How Do You Ensure Your Virtualized Web Applications Perform Optimally?

Virtualization is one of the hottest projects in today’s data center due to the impressive cost savings found in centralizing and sharing resources. Virtualization allows organizations to do more with less. Dedicated servers are no longer required to support applications, increasing utilization and lowering costs. IT effectiveness and agility are increased by accelerating server provisioning. As companies move beyond virtualizing departmental applications and development labs and tackle mission and business critical customer-facing applications, they are concerned about the performance problems lurking within their new virtual environments.

As virtualization becomes mainstream, organizations need to make sure the advantages of virtualization are not neutralized by poor application performance. As utilization of CPU, memory and I/O are increased by running more virtual machines on a server, it becomes more challenging to ensure Web application performance, availability and the end-user experience.

Benefits of Monitoring Virtualization

Gomez addresses these challenges by monitoring virtualized Web application performance from the end-user perspective. Gomez supports your virtualization initiatives by:

• Baselining Web application performance before migrating to virtual machines
• Load testing the newly virtualized infrastructure to ensure performance scales with load
• Testing capacity headroom—how many more VMs can we add before performance degrades?
• Monitoring ongoing performance from the end-user perspective
• Accelerating Web application performance problem identification and troubleshooting
