SarCheck for Managers
We never expected SarCheck to be all that useful to managers
and we've been pleasantly surprised by the way managers have
adopted it because of its ability to give clear and coherent
information about what can be done to speed up a UNIX or Linux
system.
SarCheck is your secret weapon during the recession. It
is an inexpensive tool (contact
us for pricing info) that takes data about the resource usage
of UNIX and Linux computer systems and translates that data into
a plain English report. It makes recommendations to the System
Administrator and it explains when a hardware upgrade may be
necessary. It's also widely accepted
throughout the business community and we have grown through the
last few economic downturns. If you've
had to make a decision about whether or not to spend money on a
hardware upgrade, and you had to base this decision on some
cryptic statistics or graphs that were hard to understand, you'll
appreciate the fact that SarCheck tells your people what to do in
Plain English. Here is a sample report
from a Solaris system that confirms the fact that a hardware
upgrade is not necessary.
SarCheck also helps out with staffing by making the job of
performance tuning easier for the System Administrators,
increasing their productivity. Because SarCheck can be used to
standardize the performance tuning methodology across multiple
systems, it can make it easier for one Administrator to step in
for another.

| The
Problem |
The
Solution |
| Having to postpone
hardware upgrades |
SarCheck will help you
to get the best possible performance from your existing
servers by making suggestions on ways to tune the system
for best performance. It will also recommend appropriate
hardware upgrades so that if you do need to spend money,
you won't buy something you don't need. We are regularly
enhancing our performance recommendations and will
continue to do so. |
| Not enough or
overworked System Administrators |
SarCheck can make a
system administrator more efficient by reviewing the
resource utilization of your servers and recommending
ways to improve performance. This is a job that isn't
very interesting or exciting and it doesn't get done when
systems administrators are overworked. |
| A difficult time for
travel |
Spending cuts, swine flu,
and who knows what's next. It's hard to send people away for
training. SarCheck has automated much of the
expertise related to performance tuning and we regularly
travel to classes throughout the world to collect the
information that makes SarCheck such a unique tool. Not
only is its plain English output useful as an onsite
tutor, but its suggestions will help improve performance
if your systems administrators do not specialize in
performance management. Here's a sample
of the output. |
| Virtualization |
Virtualization saves money
because multiple systems can share hardware more efficiently.
But don't forget that this technology makes the underlying hardware busier and it makes the
performance tuning of the virtual machines (or partitions, or
guest operating systems) more important than ever. SarCheck
will help to ensure the success of your virtualization strategy
by making sure that your system resources are not wasted due to
a lack of constant attention to performance tuning. |
