For more information on Storage Manager, Powered by Profiler, visit: http://www.solarwinds.com/virtualization-manager.aspx Watch this webcast: http://www.solarwinds.com/resources/webcasts/managing-storage-in-virtualized-environments.html Storage management has never been easy, but in the physical world IT managed to get by. Now enter virtualization. VM Sprawl. Dynamic Workloads. Unpredictable I/O Patterns. Shared Resource Pools. Private Clouds. The challenges for IT have shifted forward, and it’s time for storage management solutions to do the same. Learn how to optimize storage performance and capacity for your virtual environment. Join SolarWinds Sr. Product Manager Brian Radovich as we discuss the challenges IT organizations are finding as they fight new bottlenecks and performance dynamics in their growing Virtual Environments. Some of what he’ll cover will include: • Best practices for storage management as VMware deployments grow • Pinpointing and resolving new physical storage performance and capacity bottlenecks • Managing the VM I/O blender effect and its impact on meeting SLAs • Forecasting shared storage capacity issues proactively Also during this webcast we’ll demonstrate key technologies from SolarWinds that help to conquer these challenges and ensure success in these environments.

10. The Dreaded VM I/O Blender - Slide - As VMs multiply, customers begin to see an “I/O Blender” effect where traditional and predictable IO patterns get thrown out the window. With virtualization, these new data streams blend together to create new I/O dynamics and hot spots. 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 I/O I/O I/O I/O I/O VM-1 VM-2 VM-3 VM-4 VM-5…
