ProphetStor Data Services, Inc.,
a leader in Intelligent Data Platform, announced today the general
availability of its patented intelligent data analytics and predictives
solution for disk failures - DiskProphet 2.0, now with expanded
platforms and enhanced GUI for DiskProphet Server and DiskProphet.com Cloud Services.
The
DiskProphet 2.0 release features several new capabilities and
enhancements that addresses the challenges of software-defined
datacenters:
- Impact analysis with total
visibility of correlation of virtualizations. A resource map is built
from a hierarchical structure of VMware's objects by collecting metadata
from vCenter. With this structure, DiskProphet helps users quickly
identify virtual machines and datastores that are affected by a
predictive disk failure.
- Workload prediction and optimization.
Prediction of physical hosts and virtual machines workload by using the
advanced machine learning technology improves infrastructure resource
utilization and reduces performance conflicts.
The
highlight of this new release is the support of VMware vSAN.
DiskProphet 2.0 predicts the failure of the disks installed in ESXi
hosts of a vSAN cluster. The users of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
(HCI) usually suffer from significant performance degradation when vSAN
re-balancing data among nodes after a disk failure. With DiskProphet's
disk failure and performance prediction capabilities, the data center
operation can proactively prevent the impact of disk failures in a
virtualization environment.
Key Features of DiskProphet 2.0 includes:
- Provides
REST API and data collection agents to feed SMART data and performance
metrics into DiskProphet for predicting disk failure and performance
- Applies
state-of-the-art and US-patented machine learning technology to predict
failure of disks, including HDDs and SSDs and across SATA and SAS
- Predicts disk and host behavior, including performance and usage
- Easy-to-use dashboard provides total visibility of disk performance and health status
- Supports multiple platforms/Operation Systems, including Linux, VMware vSAN, Ceph, and Nutanix
