The Web Application Transaction Monitor replicates user transactions, allowing you to report on performance degradation and review which portion of a user transaction is causing the greatest performance impact on your servers.

Capacity Planning and Trending

Are you running out of server resources, planning an upgrade or looking at server consolidation opportunities? up.time provides easy-to-use server monitoring tools and the information you need for quick resource trend analysis and capacity planning. Instantly graph and visually analyze how critical server resources such as Memory, CPU, Disk and Network resources are being consumed over the past few minutes, hours, days, weeks or months.

Server Virtualization and Consolidation

With up.time's server virutalization reporting feature called Server Consolidation Report, you can easily identify which systems in your environment are candidates for consolidation on to VMware based on such factors a CPU, memory, network, and disk I/O.

Already have servers running on VMware? up.time VMware monitoring capabilities can produce workload graphs that show how VMware instances are performing on a physical ESX system. Using the information from the server consolidation utility, you can quickly determine where to rebalance the workload.

VMware Workload Reporting

Have you consolidated a number of servers using VMware? And are you noticing performance degradation with some of the intances on your ESX system? up.time can help. Run a VMware Workload report visualize how your instances are performing on a physical ESX system. Then use this information to rebalance the workload as needed.

If you are using Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3) to manage your physical VMware ESX v3 servers, up.time's VI3 Workload Profile report can chart the workload of both the server on which VI3 is running and the ESX v3 servers that are being managed by VI3.

AIX LPAR Workload Reporting

Use up.time's LPAR-specific reports and graphs to visualize the performance of each LPAR running on a pSeries server. The LPAR CPU Utilization graph enables you to better determine the CPU entitlements (which indicate the amount of CPU power that is assigned to an individual LPAR on a system). You can use the graph to give you a clear view of how much you may need to increase or decrease an LPAR's CPU entitlement.

The LPAR Workload report gives you insight into the overall workload on an IBM pSeries server. This enables you to accurately adjust the CPU entitlements of the LPARs on a server and keep track of their overall workload over time.
Both the LPAR Workload report and the LPAR CPU Utilization graph take the guesswork out of determining CPU entitlements for the LPARs on a pSeries server.

For example, your report or graph indicates that an LPAR with hard entitlement (one that cannot use spare processing power from another CPU on the server) has CPU usage which is constantly at or near the maximum. You can increase the CPU entitlement to change it to a soft entitlement (one which can use spare processing power from another CPU on the server). If, on the other hand, the LPAR has a soft entitlement and its CPU usage is consistently at or greater than the entitlement, you can increase it. By using up.time's reports and graphs, you take the guesswork out of optimizing your LPARs. You're using real data instead of relying on trial and error.

Monitor Applications

Do you need to monitor IT services consisting of applications, databases, middleware and network infrastructure? No problem. Business server monitoring and reporting on the availability of applications such as ERP, CRM, eCommerce, Web Portals, or any other applications is made simple with up.time.
