  Worked on software solution that detects, analyzes, and explains hardware bottlenecks on servers. This involved testing of servers with different architecture, attached storage devices. The tool used to collect data and provide proactive notification of building bottleneck conditions, monitor system availability and debug existing performance issues. With this software we monitor performance on one or more servers. The performance information is analyzed to determine if there is a building or existing performance bottleneck issue. We used to interactively display this information, log the information to a database for later analysis or reporting, and set up proactive notification using other notification mechanism. Starting from insatllation of this tool, verification of different functionalities were carried out in QA with the documentation part included. Show less
