Performance benchmarks and timing for the Cloud Lifecycle Management integration
This topic presents timing approximations for Cloud Lifecycle Management operations when integrated with a TrueSight Infrastructure Management environment that includes data collection, event management, and impact management.
The following environment is used as a sample for the timing estimates.
Sample data collection, event management, and impact management environment
Metric | Amount of value |
|---|---|
Number of devices | 10K |
Number of groups | 11 |
Number of monitor instance | 52 K |
Attribute | 100 K |
Polling frequency | 5 minutes stats, 5 minutes auto-sync |
Database size |
The following table shows the VirtualCenter details used for monitoring in the testing environment.
Metric | VirtualCenter 1 | VirtualCenter 2 |
|---|---|---|
VMware VirtualCenter version | 4.0.0, 208111 | 4.1.0, 2587902 |
Number of data centers | 4 | 6 |
Number of ESX servers | 156 | 41 |
Clusters per VirtualCenter | 7 | 5 |
Number of resource pools in the VirtualCenter | 107 | 275 |
Number of virtual machines | 2300 | 2900 |
Stop and start times for TrueSight Infrastructure Management processes
The following table shows the amount of time necessary to stop and start TrueSight Infrastructure Management processes in a Cloud Lifecycle Management environment.
Action | Duration |
|---|---|
Stop TrueSight Infrastructure Management processes | 30 seconds |
Start TrueSight Infrastructure Management processes | 7 minutes |
Input/output operations per second for a Child Server
The input/output operations per second (IOPS) in a TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server networks is often measured by the number of read and write bytes per second for computer storage devices, such as the hard disk.
The following table gives hardware, software, and TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server load details, and the resulting IOPS for for the embedded SAP SQL Anywhere Database on the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
Deploment details | Load details |
|---|---|
Child Server | Virtual machine |
TrueSight Infrastructure Management version | 9.6 |
Operating system | Windows Server 2008 R2 |
Number of processors | 4 |
Memory | 12 GB |
Number of devices | 10K VMs |
Number of monitor instances | 52 K |
Number of attributes | 100 K |
Polling frequency | 5 minutes stats, 5 minutes auto-sync |

Network bandwidth utilization between the Central Server and Data Collection Host
The network bandwidth utilization is often measured as the amount of data that is transferred from the Central Server to the Child Server, and from the Child Server to the Data Collection Host (comprising of Integration Service and PATROL Agents) over a specified period.
The following tables shows the hardware and software that is used while measuring network bandwidth utilization between the Central Server and Child Server, and between the Child Server and the Data Collection Host
The following values show the network bandwidth utilization for traffic between the Central Server and Child Server:
- Average: 12.272 KB per second
- Minimum: 8 KB per second
- Maximum: 29 KB per second
The following values show the network bandwidth utilization for traffic between the Child Server and the Data Collection Host:
- Average: 16.489KB KB per second
- Minimum: 12 KB per second
- Maximum: 26 KB per second
Time to provision 50 VMs
The testing environment shows the time to provision 50 VMs through the Cloud Lifecycle Management Planner as 1 hour, 30 minutes.
The time is calculated from raising a request to provision 50 VMs through Cloud Lifecycle Management Portal, to the creation of VMs with corresponding PODs and network containers and the required aggregate monitors, and start collecting data at the TrueSight TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server.
