B-hive Conductor
Optimize Application Service Levels on VMware Infrastructure

Ensure a consistent end-user experience while minimizing the cost of your critical business applications running on a virtual infrastructure. Provide visibility into the performance of multi-tier applications running across both virtual and physical infrastructure with zero overhead and zero intrusion into the production system. Move beyond just monitoring the vitals of your infrastructure into sizing, analyzing and automating your infrastructure based on business service level objectives.

Automatically generate business service maps tying the flow of business transactions end-to-end through your applications and infrastructure components. B-hive Conductor discovers your business services, applications, and infrastructure components including virtual machines and physical servers. It then ties the individual business services with all the applications and infrastructure components that are supporting them.

Monitor the service levels of business transactions from the end-user’s perspective, and pinpoint the source of performance bottlenecks down to specific applications or infrastructure components. Take advantage of real-time metrics to compare performance with desired business service level targets, and compare performance with baselines and trends automatically established over time.

Dynamically align VMware Infrastructure with business requirements in real time, creating the optimal balance of cost and performance for modern distributed applications running on virtualized infrastructure. The inherent agility and automation capabilities of VMware Infrastructure, combined with the performance information provided by B-hive, allow administrators to rapidly make the right infrastructure changes in response to business service requests.
