To help enhance the value you can derive from that SMF data, IntelliMagic Vision provides two complementary types of automated anomaly detection: Health Insights and Change Detection Views

MQ Accounting records are often considered to be too expensive, both in CPU overhead and SMF record volume. However, we believe that these concerns may be overstated.

Improperly configured hosts can suffer from poor performance even on high performing arrays. Like a sports car engine, modern arrays are finely tuned machines, but if fueled with inefficient input you can rob performance and make your Ferrari perform more like a Yugo.

This article is designed to introduce you to the types of insights that are available through SMF data with a focus on the SMF 116 MQ Accounting data.

This webinar covers best practices for performance and capacity planning for Pure Storage FlashArray and provides insights into the key metrics for performance analysis.

Solution providers will continue to entice us with bigger and better real-time analytics. Some of these should be employed, but first try to understand the logic you may be activating when you implement.

If you find elevated response time on a logical volume, how do you know which physical drives may be causing it?

A common problem performance analysts encounter is high CPU utilization on a server or application without the ability to identify the root cause of the problem quickly and easily.

This video introduces the topic of transaction reporting based on the SMF 120 subtype 9 record, specifically in terms of data volume per request/response.

This video introduces the topic of transaction response time reporting based on the SMF 120 subtype 9 record.

Each request that comes into WebSphere is considered a transaction and can be reported down to the level of URI name. These URI’s give you the names of specific resources or applications requested, and each individual request is logged.

You have multiple functions and parameters at your disposal to define which logical volumes will remain in the TS7700 cache, regardless if you use a TS7700 Disk-Only or a TS7700 with Tape attach. This session gives you detailed information about the different options.
