Overview
Rangefinder is a capacity planning solution that supports incisive decisions by accumulating and archiving certifiably accurate event data.
This level of accuracy, presented in as little or as much detail as needed, provides the validated basis to make informed decisions affecting the architecture, growth - and costs - of distributed systems.
Features
Maximum Data Sampling Rate
Rangefinder leverages Resolver's unique ability to collect event data at the highest possible sampling rate with minimal impact on system overhead. By collecting the maximum number of samples possible within a given time frame, capacity planners can obtain an unambiguous picture of their system's behavior.
Utmost Accuracy
Rangefinder was designed to collect and archive event data exactly as it occurs, rather than in an averaged, inexact form. This degree of exactness provides the crucial information required to resolve the underlying causes of unwarranted consumption of capacity or system resources.
Event Correlation
Rangefinder continuously acquires data from multiple hosts, allowing capacity planners to accumulate, view, clarify, and archive historical performance data for incisive capacity analysis.
Flexible Viewing and Reporting
Daily resource activity can be displayed in increments of minutes, hours, days, or any user-defined interval. Reports can be user-configured to automatically present the precise data needed, when it's needed, on any time schedule.
Who Benefits
Capacity Planners
In today's competitive world, late or inaccurate information can have far-reaching, negative effects on business performance and profitability. Rangefinder provides comprehensive, accurate and timely event data collection, providing capacity planners the critical information they need to make informed architecture and purchasing decisions.
System Architects
Each project is unique, but the degree to which system architects can customize data collection processes and reports can make the difference between spending hours sorting through reams of output reports vs. having the relevant information at your fingertips. Rangefinder empowers system architects to gather and view the highly accurate and relevant data, providing an unprecedented degree of insight facilitating their design decisions.
