System Performance Advisor The Toptools Value Pack includes a system performance module. This module is a powerful tool for centrally monitoring and managing system performance of groups of PCs, servers, and the network. It enables system administrators, help desk personnel, and VAR service providers to proactively identify, diagnose, and alleviate system performance bottlenecks on PC and PC server systems. The System Performance Advisor continuously monitors key performance parameters against configurable thresholds, providing configuration advice and upgrade recommendations based on trend analysis in the sampled data. The System Performance Adviser contributes to: • Increased network and system uptime, by providing proactive bottleneck detection with continuous, at-a-glance, performance status of all monitored systems from anywhere on the network. • Optimized configuration, upgrade, and replacement decisions. The System Performance Advisor includes one-click access to system performance histories, facilitating trend analysis and highlighting areas of sustained performance degradation that require action. • Improved system capacity planning, with recording of critical performance statistics for all monitored PC and server resources, allowing a thorough understanding of actual system performance baselines. There is no need to manually deploy performance agents on every monitored system. Toptools System Performance Advisor lets you select the systems to monitor and then automatically deploys the necessary client code. (Remote systems running the Toptools Agent already have the necessary code.) You can even configure which subsystems (CPU, Memory, Disk I/O) to monitor on each system. Toptools System Performance Advisor collects performance data and builds a centralized database for trend analysis. From the main screen, the status of all monitored systems can be viewed as red, yellow, or green based on configurable thresholds. An at-a-glance summary is displayed with dynamically updated pie charts organized by user-configurable custom groups of devices. Access to performance trend data on any of the monitored systems is a simple mouse click away. Information on the Toptools Value Pack can be viewed when you install the standard Toptools Device Manager.
