AppSense Performance Manager

AppSense Performance Manager

Reduce Costs, Improve Productivity & Increase Return on Investment.

AppSense Performance Manager controls the most demanding systems and ensures that hardware resources are maximized without compromising overall quality of service.

By optimizing the use of system resources at thread-level AppSense Performance Manager is able to deliver much more performance from your existing infrastructure. Typically capacity can be increased by 44%, offering the opportunity to vastly increase the number of users-per-server or consolidate server infrastructure.

Intelligent Workload Management

AppSense Performance Manager also allocates and prioritizes critical resources, such as processor, memory and network bandwidth to ensure each user, group and application is provided appropriate resources depending on their needs and demands throughout the working day.

AppSense Performance Manager Key Benefits

• Proven to improve server capacity by 100% at peak load
• Enables, on average, 44% more users per server
• Consolidate existing server infrastructure
• Prevents server lock-ups caused by runaway applications
• Delivers consistent quality of service by improving response times
• Web based reporting using a central database from agent computers
• Single deployment across all desktops and servers, including web, database and virtual environments

AppSense Performance Manager Key Features

Application Groups

Policies are defined for processor, memory and network management by creating application groups and using them to define resource sharing, reservations and limits. Policies may be further restricted to specific user and group accounts. Application states may also be included to provide precise control over applications delivered to desktops and terminal services.

Smart Scheduler

Fair share scheduling is provided by the Smart SchedulerT component, which distributes processor resources based on relative share factors. For instance, if an application is assigned a share factor that is twice that of a second application, then the former will receive higher priority access to the processor resources while it is using less than twice as much processor time than the latter.

Thread Throttling

With Thread ThrottlingT you can set system wide CPU thread throttling policies that will automatically trigger when the system is heavily loaded and apply gradual throttling to any runaway threads within each process.

User and Application Memory Limits

User memory limits can be applied to restrict the amount of virtual memory utilized. Users can be warned, and then prevented from launching additional applications, when virtual memory utilization reaches critical levels. Application memory limits can be applied to individual applications, which will force them to close down gracefully when they consume excessive memory.

CPU Application Limits

Administrators can also define hard processor limits, to throttle an application's access to the processor resources. For instance, if an application is limited to 70% then it will never be allowed to use more than 70% of the processor resources

Processor Affinity Assignment

Guarantee processing power goes where its most needed. On multiprocessor systems, policies can be assigned which bind specific users and applications to processors. This allows mission critial applications to run exclusively on a dedicated CPU.

CPU Reservations

Define CPU reservations to provide mission critical applications with a guaranteed minimal resource allocation. For example, if an application is allocated a reservation of 20% it will continue to get priority access to the processor resources while it is using 20% or less of the processor resources.

Virtual Memory Optimisation

By automatically analyzing and optimizing the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) loaded by applications, virtual memory overheads and system paging can be significantly reduced. Optimized DLLs are stored in a separate cache and loaded dynamically, leaving the original applications intact.

Physical Memory Control

AppSense Performance Manager gives you control over physical memory, letting you automatically trim working sets based on application events and states, such as application startup, idle, minimized and in the background.

Network Bandwidth Management

Application network throughput limits may be continuously applied based on network protocol, port number and / or direction. Bandwidth quotas may also be defined, which once exceeded, can either block further network communication for the specific protocol and port or limit throughput.

Centralised Web Reporting

Definable scheduling options give you complete flexibility to collect performance data from every desktop and server, to create detailed web-based reports on user and application concurrency, utilization, bottlenecks and billing information.
