System Performance Advisor
The Toptools Value Pack includes a system
performance module. This module is a powerful
tool for centrally monitoring and managing
system performance of groups of PCs, servers,
and the network.
It enables system administrators, help desk
personnel, and VAR service providers to
proactively identify, diagnose, and alleviate
system performance bottlenecks on PC and PC
server systems. The System Performance
Advisor continuously monitors key performance
parameters against configurable thresholds,
providing configuration advice and upgrade
recommendations based on trend analysis in
the sampled data.
The System Performance Adviser contributes
to:
• Increased network and system uptime

Improved system capacity planning, with
recording of critical performance statistics
for all monitored PC and server resources,
allowing a thorough understanding of actual
system performance baselines.
There is no need to manually deploy
performance agents on every monitored
system. Toptools System Performance Advisor
lets you select the systems to monitor and then
automatically deploys the necessary client
code. (Remote systems running the Toptools
Agent already have the necessary code.) You
can even configure which subsystems (CPU,
Memory, Disk I/O) to monitor on each system.
Toptools System Performance Advisor collects
performance data and builds a centralized
database for trend analysis. From the main
screen, the status of all monitored systems can
be viewed as red, yellow, or green based on
configurable thresholds. An at-a-glance
summary is displayed with dynamically updated
pie charts organized by user-configurable
custom groups of devices. Access to
performance trend data on any of the
monitored systems is a simple mouse click
away.
Information on the Toptools Value Pack can be
viewed when you install the standard Toptools
Device Manager.
