BalancePoint Overview - Optimize While You Virtualize

Akorri™ BalancePoint® virtual infrastructure management is the only performance and capacity management software providing analysis across IT virtualization layers and technology silos for both virtual and physical, server and storage infrastructure.  BalancePoint helps companies troubleshoot problems within minutes, optimize utilization, and improve performance in the dynamic data center.  View a BalancePoint product overview.

Unlike traditional system and element management tools that only look at one silo (physical or virtual servers or storage), BalancePoint agentless software dynamically models and analyzes the entire infrastructure to understand how application workloads, utilization levels and resources interact bringing much needed infrastructure-wide intelligence to the data center.

Designed to go well beyond basic performance monitoring tools, BalancePoint is a powerful operational solution that enables organizations to operationally advance virtualization providing a stepping stone to the private cloud.

Cross-Domain Analytics – A Unique Approach

The key to BalancePoint’s ability to analyze interdependencies between resources in separate IT domains is Cross-Domain Analytics™ technology.  These unique analytics provide intelligent alerting, actionable recommendations and proactive service management tools to help with remediation, optimization, and planning. BalancePoint produces unique performance and capacity metrics that enable IT operations teams to better communicate, collaborate and manage service delivery as a team.Akorri BalancePoint helps companies make sure that data center server and storage virtual and physical systems deliver the best application performance possible.

Deep End to End Visibility and Management with BalancePoint and VMware vCenter

BalancePoint and VMware vSphere are complementary.  BalancePoint fully supports vSphere 4.0 as a virtualization platform, runs as a virtual appliance in a vSphere VM, and plugs into vCenter Server (formerly Virtual Center) to provide a seamless system management interface.  Support is planned for Microsoft Hyper-V and all other major hypervisor technologies.  

BalancePoint extends vCenter Server capabilities beyond simple hypervisor management. With our cross-domain topology view, deep reporting capabilities, and long-term (18 month) trending and analysis, administrators can visualize their existing infrastructure from application to storage, accurately plan future deployments and quickly identify IO problems and contention across all virtual and physical servers and storage.

It interoperates with all the major storage vendors including EMC, HP, NetApp, IBM, Dell EqualLogic, Hitachi Data Systems, and 3PAR.

Virtualization alone does not guarantee performance but BalancePoint does.
