Prognosis Performance Manager

Performance Manager is a member of the Prognosis for HP NonStop systems management suite. It delivers the most in-depth performance statistics available, combined with powerful functionality that helps you rapidly identify and resolve issues affecting performance.

Inefficient systems absorb time, resources, and money. To reduce or eliminate these inefficiencies you need to be alerted automatically when problems arise. You also need the ability to take corrective action before your business is impacted. Prognosis Performance Manager easily addresses these challenges.

Prognosis Performance Manager provides unprecedented visibility, allowing you to optimize the performance and manageability of your HP NonStop environment. Its integrated design combines real-time problem alerting and identification with automation, integrated data capture, and management reporting.

  Prognosis Performance Manager

Through its intuitive user interface, Prognosis provides the real-time and historical data you need for problem investigation and system fine-tuning.

Using sophisticated filtering and data reduction techniques, Prognosis consolidates statistics from Measure, TCP/IP, CPUs and disk volumes. It gathers only the data that you specify, giving you maximum information while using minimum resources.

Ready-to-use with a wide variety of displays, reports, and performance thresholds, Prognosis allows you to monitor everything from I/O rates to response times, as well as component and resource utilization. Visual and audio alerts instantly highlight events that may need your attention; for example, looping processes, communication bandwidth problems, system resource shortages, excessive CPU or process queues.

   
  The information you need when you need it most. Graphical displays with intuitive navigation provide immediate access to realtime performance metrics for key system components such as CPU, memory, NonStop and OSS processes, communications lines and attached sub-devices.  
  Comprehensive range of displays, thresholds and reports. Prognosis comes ready-to-use with a wide range of pre-configured displays, thresholds and reports - eliminating the need for a complex set-up process.  
  Operational and management reporting. Using its highly-efficient database, Prognosis captures key performance metrics. This information is available for on-demand replay - an invaluable tool for trouble-shooting and root-cause analysis. Collected information is automatically consolidated, providing a wide variety of HTML published reports that address operational and management needs.
