Enterprise storage has evolved to the point where it can be difficult to manage for any organization. Virtualization, public and private clouds as well as storage area networks all have to relay information to the IT team in perfect harmony but it doesn't always work out that way.
Complex landscapes that are increasingly difficult to manage have led lack of resources or expertise to be the overwhelming challenge among 1 in every 3 IT teams, according to a Right Scale survey. Furthermore, 26 percent are constantly on the prowl for cloud management services that can curb costs and improve performance.
Galileo Performance Explorer wants you to say no more—the enterprise server storage monitor is revolutionizing the way IT professionals manage the company's network. It all starts with a customizable, easy-to-use dashboard that grabs pertinent information about network uptime, potential vulnerabilities or drops in performance. It's a powerful tool that streamlines the diagnosis process into an intuitive centralized management system.
This allows IT departments to switch from a reactive approach—a costly maintenance routine that waits until something breaks to fix it—to a predictive schedule. By being able to get a live view of the health of various components of the organization's network infrastructure, issues can be prevented rather than repaired, which saves costs in productivity that usually result from downtime.
One major IT infrastructure management issue plaguing many companies is that they don't have granular insight into specific actions, rather just an overarching view of the general health of the network.
IBM reported that Galileo offers more than 100 different ways to analyze data, with all of them available just minutes after installation. Administrators can save the data sets they find most pertinent to their network and needs on the dashboard to be viewed at all times by IT employees.
The results are updated every five minutes in an effort to avoid historical data skewing real-time updates. This allows technicians to get more granular than ever with their analysis of performance. Perhaps most convenient is the ability to consolidate oversight of virtual server workgroups.
Galileo is a cloud-based application that can be accessed from any browser once installed, making it a non-intrusive program that can be used by anyone within the organization. It's designed to be simple enough that a highly skilled IT professional or a C-suite executive with zero experience in the computational realm could understand the data being aggregated.
Most importantly, not only does Galileo offer intuitive insights but because of its built-in audit system there's no need to pay for dedicated monitoring hardware or software that does nothing else. Many organizations have multiple systems running at once to serve one purpose—Galileo Performance Explorer allows IT teams to consolidate their applications into one easy-to-use program.
