Brocade(NASDAQ:BRCD) has announced that the company has collaborated with VMware to provide intelligent and powerful analytics capabilities for Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) supporting cloud environments using VMware vCenter Log Insight 2.0.
VMware vCenter Log Insight can deliver real-time insights and monitoring of data from applications, virtualized infrastructure and physical hardware to help improve operational efficiency through automation and simplify IT troubleshooting. VMware vCenter Log Insight delivers the performance and scalability required by IT organizations for visualizing and analyzing multi-terabyte datasets.
"Because IT infrastructures generate massive numbers of alerts on a daily basis, understanding which ones are truly meaningful is typically a manual, painstaking, and time-consuming process that can create inefficiencies," said Jack Rondoni, Vice-President, Data Center Storage and Solutions, Brocade.
"Brocade’s achievements in simplifying and automating SAN fabrics align with VMware’s design goals for VMware vCenter Log Insight 2.0. This builds on a number of areas of collaboration between Brocade and VMware, further demonstrating the value we are jointly delivering to the most advanced data centers," said Sajai Krishnan, Vice-President, Product Marketing, Cloud Management Business Unit, VMware.
The Brocade SAN Content Pack can automatically deliver data to Log Insight to quickly present the most relevant log data within the context of VMware Log Insight Manager. This approach can significantly reduce the overall mean-time to problem identification. Users are offered predefined dashboards, queries, alerts, and fields that can also be customized to specific environments.
