TechValidate Research on SolarWinds System Management


Case Study: Medium Enterprise Construction Company

“With SRM we were able to solve severe disk bottleneck issues. I was able to pinpoint which LUN was causing the issue.”

“Finding the hot spots on our SAN has allowed us to get more performance from our VMware farm (which is all held on a SAN).”

Challenges

  • Top storage challenges are:
    • Understanding storage performance bottlenecks
    • Capacity planning & forecasting

Use Case

  • Found out about Storage Resource Monitor because they found Storage Resource Monitor through a web search.
  • Monitors 1 storage device with Storage Resource Monitor.

Results

  • Purchased SolarWinds over other storage management tools because of:
    • Alerting/Reporting
  • Is able to identify and troubleshoot storage issues 80-100% faster with Storage Resource Monitor.
  • Finds correlate database performance with storage performance (i.e. IOPS, latency, throughput, I/O size, and read/write mix) most important in a storage monitoring tool.
