Introducing DPACK
In an effort to help guide you through mission-critical IT decisions, Dell's team of solution experts has developed an innovative new tool — the Dell™ Performance Analysis Collection Kit (DPACK). This complimentary tool will help you make the most impactful decisions for your business, whether it's reducing wasteful spending or analyzing opportunities for virtualization or data center expansion.
Through a simply run program, DPACK performs a host-level assessment of your infrastructure, including servers, storage and workloads. You see peak I/O (input/output) levels, as well as server utilization rates, to ensure your solution will successfully address the key pain points in your specific environment.
Understand your environment
DPACK runs remotely and agentless to gather core requirements, including:
- Disk I/O
- Throughput
- Capacity and memory utilization
- Server workload and capacity requirements
With this tangible data, DPACK generates two kinds of reports:
- An aggregation of resource needs across disparate servers, with a simulation of those workloads if consolidated to shared resources
- An in-depth individual server report to be used by IT administrators to search for potential bottlenecks or hotspots that need to be engineered out of a new design
As your total solution partner, a Dell Solutions Architect will provide you with these detailed reports and the resulting accumulated metrics, and what they mean for your business. Dell will work with you every step of the way to help you look for opportunities to optimize your data center and plan for upcoming critical projects.
Get Started
DPACK supports both Windows and Linux OS. The data collection process is generally concluded in 24 hours or less, from start to finish. A Dell Consultant will promptly contact you to generate your custom report.
