Profiler is one of the most powerful tools we use. We used Profiler for VMware’s performance monitoring to identify virtualization candidates and eliminated nearly 30 pieces of hardware.

The Profiler for VMware main console is key for me to see a quick view of my virtual environment. It’s the report I send to my management.
Nathan Mead,
Sr. Systems Administrator, Test America
Two of the most beneficial reports are the growth and trending reports. Without Profiler, we could only guess when space was used and how much we need to expand the drive.
Matt Sebel,
Storage Administrator, Armed Forces Bank
Before we started using Profiler, we didn’t know when a datastore was reaching capacity until it was full. Profiler provides insight into how datastores are being used so that we can set policies and anticipate usage and growth rates.
Ed Delgado,
Storage Administrator, Risk Metrics
Profiler monitors over 100 servers in our environment. With the information we got from Profiler, we were able to optimize our resources, and within three months we saved 20 GB of space.

The consoles provide summary screens displaying key data points about servers and storage arrays. You can see how everything is performing, including disk and memory performance, CPU performance, and network status. Then, you can drill down into specific devices.

You don’t need a remote line into a specific server. You can access information about your storage on any browser-equipped device.
Bob Schultz,
IT Director, Delahaye Medialink
With Profiler, we are able to be proactive. Recently, my staff was able to pre-purchase disk drives for one server based on forecasts and perform an upgrade to the storage array in question over a weekend. The solution has saved us considerable downtime cost.
Bob Schultz,
IT Director, Delahaye Medialink
After about a week in production we saw the potential for using the tool to manage all of our storage—not just direct-attached and network-attached, but our SAN as well. Since then, I have seen the software put into good use in a lot of ways. My operations staff is happy so I am happy.
Mike Smith,
CTO, Forbes.com
In our evaluations, we did not see a more intuitive GUI than Profiler's. None of the others came even close.
Dave Goodman,
CTO, Hudson Advisors
Our approach is to identify the critical applications and associated data and to ensure that our systems can support the growth and protection of the enterprise. Profiler enables us to do just that across our worldwide infrastructure.

CTO, Hudson Advisors
With all of these backup and platform systems, we needed a way to consolidate the information into one view. Frankly, the fact that Tek-Tools could provide that was the biggest selling point in the whole deal.

When you’re dealing with a very complex and expansive backup environment and the infrastructure that supports it, you cannot afford to make the wrong selection.
Eric Carsrud
Manager of Windows Servers & Backup Systems Administration, Verio
Profiler has allowed us to decrease the number of man hours spent on day-to-day management of our backup infrastructure by nearly 40%.
Eric Carsrud, Manager of Windows Servers and Backup Systems Administration, Verio
I often wasted time monitoring and checking which backups succeeded or failed. Your Profiler software changed all of that since implementing the solution a few months ago. I’m now better able to monitor and track our daily backups to ensure solid data protection.
Tom Hatchel,
Supervisor of Computer Operations, AIP
Our backup administrators save hours each month by not having to manually run reports, and our management now has confidence that we can avert a data loss crisis.
