Silverline

Use Silverline to make the most efficient use of your server resources by running more than one application per server instance. This indispensable tool ensures that your applications have sufficient recourses and that they don't interfere with each other in unintended ways. Silverline allows you to find the root cause of problems and quickly respond to situations that may impact the availability and performance of your service. Silverline gives detailed information, presented in graphical form, on the actual usage of processor, memory, and storage and network bandwidth at the application level. Silverline also provides reliable estimates of application resource "demand," which allows you to identify resource constraints as a potential source of performance issues and helps with capacity planning. To help make sure that applications receive adequate resources to meet Quality of Service expectations, Silverline allows you to control how much of each resource individual applications or groups of applications use.

Features:

  • Application and process level monitoring of server resource consumption
  • Annotations to highlight the occurrence of important events
  • Intelligent tagging to monitor tiered and scale-out applications across server instances
  • Graphical presentation of application resource usage and demand
  • Sophisticated alerting for setting triggers and executing user-defined, parameterized scripts for exception handling
  • Application and process level control of resource consumption
  • Spare capacity harvesting for background workloads
  • Redundant storage of all monitoring data
  • Access all product features through RESTful API's
  • Embed Silverline graphs in dashboards

Benefits:

  • Rapid detection of unusual situations caused by resource availability vs. demand conflicts
  • Fast root cause analysis and problem resolution
  • Predictable application performance through guaranteed resource availability
  • Harvesting of spare server resources for background workloads
  • Maximized utilization of server resources
  • Better capacity planning with detailed insight in application resource usage and demand
  • Behavior monitoring of tiered scale-out applications
