Performance Analysis Software Targeted at Cloud Computing Systems

NEC Corp. (NEC) has announced the distribution of its performance analysis software system, the “MasterScope Invariant Analyzer,” for overseas markets. This software recognizes system failures and manages the trouble shooting for large-scale cloud orientated computing systems at telecom carriers, large corporations and data center operators.

As the corporate expectations of cloud computing continue to rise, robust IT platforms for cloud oriented data centers are required in order to provide safe and secure services. These services also need to rapidly process large volumes of data and flexibly adjust to sudden workload changes, in addition to provide efficient operations of a large number of data center servers/storage devices that facilitate greater use of virtualization technologies.

In response to these needs, NEC developed the “Invariant Analysis Technology”, an innovative technique that detects the cause of unexpected failures. This patented technology, developed by NEC Laboratories America Inc., has been incorporated into NEC’s “MasterScope Invariant Analyzer,” which detects hard-to-find errors and performance failures in just 1/10 the time of conventional technologies.

The MasterScope Invariant Analyzer features the following:
- Silent Failure Detection
NEC’s unique performance analysis technology detects a wide range of irregular behaviors that are difficult to locate, known as “silent failures,” through regular failure surveillance functions that enable early detection and prevent further failure.

- Failure Location Visualization
Graphs and maps provide easy visualization of factors that cause silent failures and their impacted areas. The time required to diagnosis failures has also been significantly reduced.

- Simplified Performance Analysis
Performance analysis is performed automatically, without special training or complicated settings, just by inputting performance information. This reduces the demands on system administrators.

NEC aims to begin distribution of the new product in North America and Europe in May 2010. Asia-Pacific countries and Central & South American counties are expected to follow through NEC’s global sales channel and with other local venders.
