The ExtraHop platform provides real-time analytics for application performance, enabling confident migrations to private cloud environments by delivering objective visibility into end-to-end response times and performance baselines. It offers automated discovery, trend-based alerts, and comprehensive visibility across networks, web, and storage tiers to address virtualization-related performance issues. By using ExtraHop, organizations can ensure reliability for business-critical applications while efficiently managing resources in dynamic virtualized environments.
ExtraHop for Virtualization Datasheet
- 1. MIGRATE APPLICATIONS WITH CONFIDENCE Unlike monitoring tools that focus on measuring CPU and memory, the ExtraHop platform analyzes transactions to objectively measure end-to-end response times across all tiers of the application environment. This approach provides the basis for performance baselines and private-cloud SLAs. This objective visibility into performance enables application owners to confidently migrate their business- critical applications to the private cloud. At the same time, the infrastructure teams have the data they need to make smart decisions about provisioning resources. ExtraHop for Virtualization ENSURE APPLICATION PERFORMANCE IN VIRTUALIZED AND PRIVATE CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS “Our team used ExtraHop to baseline several key performance indicators, including application response time, and then spin up a parallel virtual infrastructure to compare performance. We could prove that performance was the same or slightly better on the virtual infrastructure.” —John Hluboky VP of Technical Operations, Practice Fusion CAPABILITIES FOR VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENTS • Objective view of performance with true application response times • Performance baselines for applications with trend-based alerts for anomalous activity • Automatic discovery and classification of devices • Correlated visibility of network, web, VDI, database, and storage performance • Public cloud support for end-to-end visibility across all types of public and private cloud environments EXCELLENT POOR VIRTUAL MACHINES PER HOST PERFORMANCE PHYSICALUTILIZATION 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% PERFORMANCE PREDICTABILITY GAP Many application owners worry about the performance of their business-critical applications in virtualized cloud environments. ExtraHop can help to alleviate those concerns. Virtualization teams can use the ExtraHop platform to record baseline performance in physical environments and then track adherence to SLAs when migrating those applications to private clouds. Once migrated, ExtraHop provides unparalleled visibility into performance in dynamic virtual environments. BENEFITS • Reliable performance for business-critical applications • Increased virtualization of physical assets • Metrics for performance- based SLAs • Faster remediation of performance problems • Improved planning and asset management ExtraHop helps organizations maximize physical utilization while ensuring application performance.
- 2. ABOUT EXTRAHOP NETWORKS ExtraHop is the global leader in real-time wire data analytics. The ExtraHop platform analyzes all L2-L7 communications, including full bidirectional transactional payloads. This provides the correlated, cross-tier visibility essential for today’s complex and dynamic IT environments. TROUBLESHOOT PERFORMANCE ISSUES FASTER In complex and dynamic virtualized environments, the ExtraHop platform provides an objective view of activity across the entire environment. Trend-based alerts in the ExtraHop system enable IT teams to quickly identify and remediate performance issues. ExtraHop analyzes network traffic to extract performance metrics for the network, web, VDI, database, and storage tiers. With this correlated, cross-tier visibility, IT teams can spot subtle yet devastating virtualization-related performance problems, such as virtual packet loss, that are impossible to detect with legacy monitoring tools with limited views of network or storage performance. © 2015 ExtraHop Networks, Inc.

DEPLOY SIMPLY WITHOUT AGENTS Whereas agent-based tools require careful configuration and management. In contrast, the ExtraHop platform uses an elegant, non-intrusive deployment. Connected to a network tap, port mirror, or vSwitch, the ExtraHop platform starts analyzing network traffic immediately and delivers valuable health and performance visibility within minutes. Automatic device discovery helps IT teams manage VM sprawl. Advanced TCP analysis is required to detect subtle virtualization-related performance problems. Application Activity Maps provide up-to-date visual representations of applications. 151110
