Yes. MoreVRP can be enhanced with a system processes module that allows managing other processes at the operating system level (currently available for Linux & Unix only) The dashboard shows a real-time view of the top consumers at the OS level, and with a right click of a mouse, you can control the amount of resources a specific process takes. |

Customers in the DWH market reports a huge and immediate ROI. Here are some scenarios where it can help DWH environment to be better utilized and managed :
- ETL processes has to finish by the morning (7:00 o'clock for example). If some nightly reports were executed, they may prevent the ETL process to finish on time (and cause downtime, or lack of data). So you want to give more resources to the ETL overnight so it always finishes on time.
- Batch reports vs. online reports. DW reports can be split to two : online reports (usually short ones) where people are actually waiting on their UI to get the results, and background/Batches/scheduled reports that are usually long running and people are not waiting online to get the results. During the Peek time you want to give more to the online users rather than background jobs that are being processes only the day after (usually).
- Maintenance activity. DWH has many activities that need to be done at the background (loading new data, Rebuilding indexes, analyzing statistics…). Those are important, but end users are more important. If you run large maintenance tasks, instead of scheduling them to run at nights and weekends (forcing the IT staff to work at those late hours) you can run them In the middle of the day and just lower their resource consumption so they won't interfere with online activities.
- Some reports are always more important than others… The CEO report had to finish ASAP because of a board meeting, so MoreVRP can help you do it in real-time!

- VMware can give more or less resources to a whole OS (operating system). MoreVRP is digging 2 levels deeper to the level of application and the level of transaction within the application.
When you add 2 more CPUs to your VM, the resources you added are distributed among all active transactions so each transactions get just a little more resources. With More you can redirect those resource to a specific need (transaction) based on your needs.
- VMware doesn't manage IO. If you have an EMC/Netapp/other storage that is being fully utilized by a report for example, This causes all other users and application to be in a state of "Wait for IO". You have no ability to manage it through conventional VM technology.
- Most VMs are configured to take min to max amount of CPUs according to the need. We can dramatically reduce the maximum CPU needed. The whole idea with VMs is based on provisioning. You allocate more CPUs that you actually have (to several VMs) while you assume that in the same moment – not all of them will require the maximum CPU power allocated to them. Usually, even when a single VM is highly loaded, it affects the entire machine and all other VMs. MoreVRP allows you to manage that as well and protect other VMs from resources starvation that may take place when a single VM is high loaded (CPU and IO of course)

Most databases have performance issues due to varying load peaks. Heavy I/O or CPU-bound database transactions can cause all transactions to have longer response times, with some loads resulting in a complete system crash. VRP enables narrower virtual resource lanes to the CPU and IO drivers, and redirects managed transactions to these virtual lanes. This leads to better response times and improved QoS. |
