InsightIQ

File System Analytics and Performance Introspection

InsightIQ™ helps you maximize the performance of your Isilon scale-out storage system with innovative, advanced analytics to optimize applications, correlate workflow and network events, and accurately forecast future storage needs. With Isilon you can easily manage PBs and GBps of storage and computing resources. Now, with InsightIQ you can go a step a beyond, with innovative, advanced analytics to identify performance bottlenecks in your workflows and minimize the amount of high performance storage required in your environment.

Built on a Web 2.0 framework, InsightIQ is deployed as a virtual appliance, minimizing the impact of monitoring with an off-cluster virtual application that seamlessly integrates into enterprise environments. 

Simplicity - Gain Actionable Insight into Detailed Performance and Capacity Trends

  • Easily bookmark relevant views for communicating key information throughout an organization.
  • Align end-user descriptions with performance metrics over various time periods; diagnose historical events as simply as real-time” events.

Optimize Workflows and Applications

  • Correlate and trend detailed file system information on a per-directory and per-file basis.
  • Determine which datasets are growing more rapidly, which direction files and file types are trending, and how data aligns to storage costs.
  • Get ahead of system issues and avoid impacts on end-users and application availability.
  • Identify past performance trends to help predict future needs, by aligning performance and cost “just-in-time

Cost Savings

  • Maximize your storage system’s overall price/performance capabilities and application optimization.
  • Identify the business value of critical data over time and align use of storage resources.
  • Provide cost-effective analytics, while leveraging your virtual infrastructure with minimal impact.
  • Eliminate bottlenecks and inefficiencies without professional services or highly-trained personnel.

 "InsightIQ lets me look at capacity and network I/O, but from a user's experience. It shows client latency, how long writes take on NFS or CIFS, and where the latency is coming from. It tells me if it's one node or client, or a systematic thing throughout the environment." Josh Wisely, Systems Engineer. Webtrends
