Nytro Predictor software collects storage access traces on a production server using industry proven tools. The software takes a capture over time of storage access patterns and stores this information in a trace file. Nytro Predictor software then uses the trace files to generate valuable reports that estimate whether a workload may benefit from smart caching and show the potential application acceleration.

Features

  • Easy to use and intuitive software collects I/O storage activity on production servers over several hours
  • Uses non-intrusive, industry standard tools like xperf (Windows) or blktrace (LINUX)
  • GUI driven application generates detailed reports that give guidance on the benefits of using flash based cache
  • Support for SAN and DAS environments

Benefits

  • Non-intrusive to customer data
  • Automated report generation gives detailed guide to where hot data is and illustrates the read/write ratio in easy to read graphs
  • Advantages of using flash are highlighted with quantifiable application acceleration estimates
  • Enables IT professionals to making informed, intelligent decisions on how much flash is needed and whether applications will benefit from the use of flash caching
