Case Study: ByteLife achieves real-time end-to-end application performance visibility with Virtual Instruments

Guaranteeing Performance and Availability of Critical Applications in an EMC® VPLEX™ Environment

ByteLife, a data infrastructure company serving latency-sensitive customers, needed to guarantee performance and 100% availability for mission-critical applications in a two-data-center EMC VPLEX environment. The team lacked end-to-end visibility across storage, network, servers, and applications, making it difficult to assess latency and de-risk the introduction of storage virtualization.

Virtual Instruments implemented the VirtualWisdom platform, including SANInsight TAP Patch Panels, SAN Availability Probe, SAN Performance Probe, and Virtual Server Probe, to provide real-time, end-to-end monitoring. With Virtual Instruments, ByteLife gained sub-second latency insight, eliminated performance blind spots, accelerated its VPLEX deployment, and improved its ability to predict infrastructure needs and identify issues proactively.
