FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS SF MA

ETERNUS SF MA is highly-efficient software for performance measurement and analysis, capturing real-time performance data from ETERNUS AF All-flash arrays, ETERNUS DX Hybrid storage systems, NetApp storages, FC-Switches, IP-Switches, servers and virtual machines. Long-term preservation of performance data allows instant extraction of historical information. ETERNUS SF MA provides a user-friendly interface which enables administrators to continuously supervise the infrastructure performance with detailed metrics from a single pane of glass.

Features and Benefits

Features Benefits
Real-time performance data capture from storage, network, servers and virtual machines.
  • Rapid recognition of misbehaving IT systems and underperforming storage systems
Comprehensive visualization of resources
  • Easy determination of the performance of CPU, Memory, Swap Times, I/O of servers and VM’s, and of the connection relationship between a storage resource and a server.
  • Easy determination if storage is delivering the IOPS, throughput and latency required by the existing server and virtualized environment
  • Helps to increase and maintain service levels
  • Easy performance evaluation through direct comparison with historical data
Dashboard graphical display
  • Real-time analysis of bottlenecks during backups, boot storms, or virus scans
  • Single pane-of-glass view reduces labor cost and working hours
  • Customizable to individual needs
Reporting
  • Extensive evaluation over hours, days and months to see if there are bottlenecks, when they occur, and which servers, virtual machines or I/O paths are affected
  • Ensures that services and production can cope with diversifying businesses
