RTP, N.C. – September 8, 2008 – BlueStripe Software <http://www.bluestripe.com/> , the industry’s first provider of Application Service Management (ASM) solutions for virtualized data center environments, today announced the availability of its flagship product, FactFinder.  FactFinder is the industry’s only solution to enable enterprises to stage, deploy, and manage business-critical applications in virtual data center environments with the same degree of confidence and control as traditional environments.

FactFinder bridges the gap between enterprise applications and the new virtual environments on which they are being deployed.  It gives IT support teams the management visibility, the tools to measure, and the ability to triage their critical business applications during physical to virtual (P2V) conversions, application staging, and production deployment.

“Many IT organizations are now beyond the early stages of their server virtualization projects and are ramping up both the levels of consolidation as well as the move to virtualize mission critical applications,” said Cameron Haight, research vice president, Gartner, Inc.  “In order to ensure that performance does not suffer as a consequence, end users involved in these projects should look for tools to help identify and diagnose potential application performance bottlenecks whose source could originate from either the virtual or physical environment.”

Resolving one the biggest challenges facing today’s virtualized data centers, FactFinder delivers three critical elements of application service management for virtual environments:
·        Application Discovery & Mapping – FactFinder offers automatic discovery and topology mapping of the application connections, processes, and interdependencies allowing for unmatched visibility into both physical and virtual environments.
·        Application-level Health Measurement – By enabling simple drill down into performance indicators of connections, usage, and application access times, FactFinder depicts the relative health of a business’ critical applications.
·        Automatic Triage of Application & Server Problems – FactFinder’s easy to understand performance indicators highlight areas of concern, showing where to focus efforts to solve problems and optimize the supporting IT environment.

I found this when doing some research on the internet. It sounds intereting and for those enterprise organizations it could aid in systems and capacity managment. As we scale up and make the environment more complex, understanding what does what, what feeds into and out to what becomes ever more important. What happens if I take down switch London8? I’ll need to read up more about it.
