Unravel Data Application Performance Management

Solutions Gallery > Unravel Data Application Performance Management
Solution overview
Enterprises are running more and more big data applications in production (like ETL, analytics, machine learning, etc.). These applications have to meet performance-related business needs such as deadlines (e.g., ETL job to finish by market close), fast response time (e.g., Hive queries), and reliability (e.g., fraud app). The data platform team (architect, operations and developers) needs to ensure application reliability, optimize storage and compute while minimizing infrastructure costs, and optimize DevOps productivity.
Unravel provides a single pane to optimize, troubleshoot, and analyze the performance of big data applications. Unravel correlates all performance metrics across every layer of the big data stack, from the infrastructure to the services and applications, as well as within each layer to give a true full-stack view of application performance. Unravel then applies artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics to empower operations to optimize, troubleshoot and analyze from a single tool.
Optimize
- Automatically speed up applications and improve resource usage efficiency
- Detect, diagnose and fix missed SLAs
- Automatically detect and eliminate rogue or resource wasting jobs
- Get more out of storage – Remove “cold” tables, maximize tiered storage utilization
- Get more throughput by allocating the right size of pools and containers
Troubleshoot
- “MRI” view of application performance – from code to infrastructure
- Automatically detect performance bottlenecks and failures
- Avoid or resolve contention issues
- Easily correlate infrastructure, services and application issues
- Setup auto-actions to resolve recurring issues automatically
Analyze
- Chargeback –reporting for all usage on all clusters
- Cost savings – how to save costs by application, user, storage, CPU
- Auditing and governance – track usage and access to data and applications by users
- Ops dashboard – bird’s eye view on health and performance of the entire stack
- 360° visibility – about applications, services, infrastructure and users
