LEIDEN, The Netherlands, December 4, 2006 Today IntelliMagic announced that it is providing performance modeling capabilities for all three of the largest enterprise disk subsystem vendors in the latest release of its Disk Magic software.
Prior versions of Disk Magic were available with support to model performance for a wide range of IBM disk subsystems. Version 6.5 released today supports modeling z/OS workloads on the EMC disk subsystems 8230, 8530, 8830, DMX 800, DMX 1000, DMX 2000, DMX 3000, and DMX 3 and on the Hitachi disk subsystems 9960, 9970V, 9980V, USP 100, USP 600, and USP 1100.
Support for modeling UNIX, Linux, and Windows workloads on EMC and Hitachi disk subsystems will be announced in the first quarter of 2007.
Disk Magic reads I/O workload data measured on the servers that attach to your enterprise disk subsystems. You can model the effect that changes to your workloads or to the hardware configuration will have on the performance of the disk subsystems. It also provides functions to show what happens after migration of your data and workload to another disk subsystem from the same or a different vendor.
Disk Magic provides deep insight into current and future performance of your disk subsystems as it shows internal metrics such as internal bus and host adapter utilization that are typically not reported with performance measurement tools. It also lets you determine how much room for growth you have with your existing configuration without having to rely on vendor benchmarks.
