Consistent Application Recognition, Performance, and Usage Analytics
Am I delivering the service level
committed to a tenant?
Where do I get the most
benefits of optimization?
Is end-user experience
acceptable at remote site?
Measure
Troubleshoot
How much resources is the
tenant consuming?
Can I characterize application
performance?
Are optimization strategies
working?
Can I monitor VM during
migration?
Are the cross-tier application
interactions slowing down?
Can I quickly isolate and
troubleshoot latency issues?
