Why not just use Tiger or Sugar or something else thats free. Are you trying to demonstrate that your company doesn't believe in paying for services/software? I mean if that's the case why pay for Microsoft CRM. (I'm assuming these guys have the same billable rate I do of $250/hr). A day and a half to 3 days time make sense to perform an upgrade, test/verify things and provide some basic client documentation/information. Not sure what CRM installs have to do with the cost of storage performance monitoring. Pathetic that they would think that we would have that kind of money lying around.

Way more expensive? Lets see here: I received quotes from 3 vendors to upgrade our MS CRM installation from version 4 to 2011 priced between $3.4K and $7K. Given you didn't state the value of storage performance, I put a qualifier in my statement so you could decide which recommendation was best for you. You don't pick up the Wall Street Journal, or look at your bank account and say "hey we are rich and can waste money lets buy this!" or "hey our economic sector is bad, lets not care about ERP performance". If they don't then you don't buy them if they do you do.
In buisness you look at solutions if they provide value (Agility, Risk mitigation, cost control). I'm REALLY confused how me presenting an option based on the value of storage monitoring to your business involves the Government/Media, Keynesian Economic forces. I basically stated "hey if storage performance is not worth " here's a solution, that will be time consuming but might actually work. Really? You are really suggesting to remove 24 disks from a Dell PowerVault MD3220i and stick them into a server? And that would be better? Really? Just take the disks out, put them in a server and monitor that (should cost less than $750 for a RAID card) then use the Hypervisor OS's monitoring tools and your done. I did my due diligence over a 3 day periord did the upgrade myself with no downtime, no problems and a lot more peace of mind.Īs it now turns out, this is probably the way I am going to go, using the include CLI that comes with Dell Storage Manager software. Then you might try cooking up something custom with Nagio's (have a buddy that did this with his HDS SANs and their CLI API) but honestly the time your going to waste setting it up is going to be way more expensive than buying something The truth is a lot of businesses are still struggling in some way due to the Major Economic downturn that occured in 2008. The Government and major Media and say all they want that the economy is better.
Reality check here sir! Not ever company has thousands of dollars just sitting around collecting dust waiting to be used. Who made you a judge? A BMW is worth a lot of money, but there is no way I would ever buy one, for I have no reason to spend that much money on a car, if I even had that much money lying around. If storage performance is worth that little LEM and NPM don't do SMI-S, and that was known when purchasing them

Btw, was also able to use to track some performance on a Windows Server EC2 image/instance at AWS ). So if interested, ping Tom over HyperIO, tell him StorageIO aka Greg Schulz sent you and see if his tools do what you need.

HiMon also can collect from windows boot load startpoint until windows last gasp during shutdown.ĭisclosure: I have no affilation with HyperIO, other than Tom West lets me use his software tools for testing now and then. Measuring Windows performance impact for VDI planning Here is link to a post I did about using HiMon to record some performance metrics. If it is WIndows (VM or PM), checkout HyperIO from HiMon, its not free, however it collects more than you may want to know about at Windows filesystem layer, as well as below (what actually goes to device or network). Solarwinds has some great tools, however what is your price point and pain point? John what server OS are you running and is it a VM/guest or PM?
