Workload Management

Enables diverse workloads to effectively run together by balancing resource consumption to achieve business goals during peak resource usage periods.

Monitor
- Understand precisely how applications utilize system resources
- Analyze resource usage trends

Control
- Set optimal resource allocation policies per SLAs
- Deliver fine-grained resource guarantees
- Suspend low priority processes

Manage
- Adjust and refine policies based on business changes and/or historical trends

Load Manager Overview

- Enterprise-class workload management for Linux and Windows
- True fair-share scheduler
- Policy-based resource allocation per business requirements and SLAs

- Fine-grain 'micro scheduling' to monitor/control major system resources
- Independent control over CPU, memeory, network I/O, storage I/O

- Dynamic resource rebalancing
- Unused capacity constantly monitored and redistributed where needed

- User space technology
- Completely transparent to both application and operating system
- No recomiling or re-linking of applications

- Light-weight, typically less than 1% overhead

- Simple to deploy in existing data center infrastructures

- Highly scalable (manage thousands of servers)
