Galileo Performance Explorer: Infrastructure Management Suite Agent Support Pure Storage Systems

Galileo Performance Explorer, infrastructure management suite created by The ATS Group, announces the release of a technology agent to support Pure Storage, Inc. products.

As an increasing number of organizations move toward Pure Storage, it’s imperative that IT administrators are able to glean critical insights about the performance and capacity of their Pure Storage FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X environments.

With the company’s in place, admins are able to quickly and proactively identify any performance issues within their Pure Storage products, as well as across their entire infrastructure. The firm provides cross-platform support for the most critical infrastructure elements, including servers, storage, database, SAN and cloud environments from a range of different vendors like IBM, Dell EMC, Oracle, VMware, NetApp, and Infinidat.

Shifting storage marketplace
The digital storage sector has seen shakeups recently, particularly related to Pure Storage. The company has long been known for its low prices – its all-flash storage systems quickly became a cost-effective alternative to spinning disk storage. In a bold move, it recently reduced their prices further in order to more effectively compete in a considerably saturated market.

This has motivated organizations to shift away from traditional storage vendors like IBM and Dell EMC to Pure Storage to support reduced technology costs. Whenever data and workloads are migrated to a new storage environment, however, it’s imperative that IT admins and decision-makers have granular visibility into the platform, it’s overall capacity and performance level.

Technology abstract including opaque squares, bold blue and yellow lines, numbers and binary code on a black background. Admins and stakeholders must support the key performance and management of their critical storage environment.

The company ensures that no matter what type of environments a company has in place, technology stakeholders are able monitor critical performance while pinpointing and addressing any issues before they become large-scale problems impacting users.

Galileo allows admins to leverage performance alerting, management and monitoring for FlashArray//M, FlashArray//X, FlashBlade and FlashStack. These capabilities help to isolate configuration issues, reduce problem resolution time, avoid downtime and improve overall performance.

Galileo supports users by enabling them to access performance and configuration information about the system, Volumes, and volumes by host. And with the firm’s Dynamic Tagging functionality, users can customize dashboard parameters, view and trend capacity usage over time in a way that provides the most value for the organization and its critical infrastructure performance.

In addition, the company provides critical metrics including:

• System: Latency, IO/s, bandwidth, queue depth, transfer sizes, capacity, data reduction ratios, and configuration.

• Volumes: Latency, IO/s, bandwidth, transfer sizes, capacity, and data reduction ratios.

• Volumes by host: Latency, IO/s, bandwidth, transfer sizes, capacity, and data reduction ratios aggregated by host.

As more organizations move toward Pure Storage for their data needs, it’s imperative that the performance provided supports the value of this solution. The company helps ensure that IT admins and stakeholders have everything they need to maintain and manage their critical infrastructure systems.
