Distributed Resource Monitor Download Data Sheet [pdf]

Overview
Resolver's high-resolution, kernel-based monitoring technology enables the identification and isolation of performance bottlenecks.

Comprised of two components - a system activity monitor and distributed data collection agents. These agents can be deployed within minutes and immediately begin collecting sub-second samplings of event data. Resolver's activity monitor interprets these data samples to assess resource utilization and pinpoint performance issues.

Equally effective at trouble shooting and performance analysis, Resolver delivers permanent resolution of performance issues.

Features
Unprecedented Granularity / Sub Second Sampling
Resolver captures event data in user-specified increments up to 10 samples per second. This feature is absolutely critical when working with distributed systems which can unpredictably exhibit dynamic and unrepeatable behavior.

Most Relevant View of System Behavior
Resolver collects the most relevant set of system statistics - most of which can not be provided by any other tool. This critical information set often holds the key to identifying performance problems and bottlenecks in time to avoid disruptions in productivity.

Multi-Applications Environment
Resolver's agents produce a unique set of universal metrics for a multi-application environment. Combined, these critical analysis metrics provide the basis to diagnose response time and performance degradation, allowing the detection of deep-rooted problems like memory leaks. This single agent architecture reduces the cost of application-specific add-ons and eliminates the need for expensive, time-consuming code implementations, such as Application Response Measurement (ARM).

Extremely Accurate and Reliable Monitoring of Data
Resolver collects and displays sampling data from multiple applications in real-time. Sample loss is extremely low even under heavy load conditions, ensuring high data integrity and minimal system resource utilization (typically less than 1% per CPU).

Who Benefits
System Administrators
Resolver's scalable history display provides a timeline view of system activity, facilitating the identification of heavy resource users and performance bottlenecks. Comprehensive sorting and reporting capabilities provide administrators the vital information they need to quickly resolve critical operational issues.

Software Developers
Software Developers and Test Engineers can pre-test application code performance before final delivery, avoiding costly redesigns due to poor performance, mismatched communication protocols, and other design issues.

Capacity Planners
Capacity planners can acquire meaningful trend analysis and performance metrics for forecasting equipment budgets, meeting service level agreements, and reduced productivity interruptions.

System Engineers
Resolver's highly accurate, fine-grained performance data provides the clear view of system and application behavior needed to build more accurate simulation models and perform trade-off analyses.
