Description
===========
HP PerfRX Analysis Software is an interactive performance analysis
software tool for managing system resource utilization. It provides
a graphical and tabular interface to historical system performance
data collected by the HP Performance Collection Software. With
HP PerfRX, users can easily identify existing and potential system
performance problems.
In terms of functionality, HP PerfRX is similar to the current
HP LaserRX product. Both products provide a powerful user interface
to historical performance data collected by the HP Performance
Collection Software. Now, customers have a choice in platform for
their analysis. HP LaserRX/MPE is a PC-based software tool for
analyzing HP3000 performance logfiles. HP LaserRX/UX is a PC-based
software tool for analyzing HP9000 performance logfiles. And, HP PerfRX
is an HP-UX workstation software tool for analyzing either HP3000 or
HP 9000 performance logfiles.
HP PerfRX comes with a set of pre-defined graphs to easily analyze
common performance situations. The software also allows the user to
customize and create their own set of graphs for their own specific
analysis.
Within the graphs, users can get a listing of the actual applications and
processes running during a specific period of time. This listing also
includes the amount of system resources utilized by each application
and process. This is a powerful feature of HP PerfRX, as it allows the
user to characterize their system workload from a global perspective down
to the more detailed application- and process-level.
Features and Benefits
---------------------
Flexible graphing options - provides line, stacked, and pie graphs
of system and application level activity for easy identification
of existing or potential system performance problems.
Hierarchical user interface - guides the user from the system level
perspective down to the application and process level for more
detailed information.
Customizable graphs - allows users to define and create their own graphs.
Export feature - allows the data to be exported to a flat ASCII or
spreadsheet format file.
Printing feature - allows users to print graphs and tables for easy
documentation of system activity information
Product Positioning
-------------------
HP PerfRX provides an interface to system performance data collected
by the HP Performance Collection Software, which is available through the
HP GlancePlus Pak bundle or as a separate product for HP-UX. HP PerfRX
will read the data collected from both HP-UX and MPE systems.
As an integral member of HP's performance management software solution
set, HP PerfRX provides a graphical view of historical system performance
and workloads. HP GlancePlus provides detailed on-line system- and process-
level performance monitoring and diagnostics functionality. HP PerfView is
the umbrella application that provides on-line, centralized performance
problem notification and characterization for larger networks of systems
and mission critical business servers. Together, these tools provide
complete performance management capabilities for any environment.
Target Markets:
---------------
HP PerfRX Analysis Software is well-suited for commercial and technical
customers across all industries who have dynamic system requirements.
Users who need to understand and proactively manage their system workloads
will find the information presented by HP PerfRX to be invaluable.
HP PerfRX is also a good fit for mainframe alternative accounts. Customers
in a mainframe environment are accustomed to having access to historical
system performance data. HP PerfRX provides an easy but powerful interface
to a large amount of system activity information.
Organizations centralizing their network and system management functions
will need a centralized workstation with HP PerfRX, HP PerfView, and
HP GlancePlus. Through this one central workstation, the user can access
real-time and historical performance data, as well as receive system
performance alarm notification through the HP PerfView product. With
HP OpenView and HP's performance management products, the user can manage
the network and system environment through a single centralized workstation.
