6 Fusion

Profiler

The UC6 Profiler tool helps answer the age old question – how much will it cost to run in the cloud?  Profiler is a lightweight agent that can be installed on any Windows, Linux, or VMware based hypervisor. Once installed, it meters your application as if it were actually running on a 6fusion iNode. From the profiler, the IT administrator can understand what resources are being consumed in a real time or historical basis, and, see how many WACs the system is consuming.  With this information, the administrator can determine if the workload is suitable for the cloud, and if so, what the expected utility cost will be.

The best part of all?  Profiler is free!

Key points about UC6 Profiler:

  • The tool will work with both virtualized and non virtualized applications
  • Users can profile web applications or traditional client/server applications
  • Profile data rolls up into UC6 so you can view what you are profiling versus what you are running live in the cloud through a single console
  • Profiler uses the same reporting engine as live workloads in the cloud, so reporting consumption data can be easily benchmarked
