Products Overview

Librato® is a leading provider of workload management products. According to Gartner, workload management enables “diverse workloads to effectively run together in a single instance of an operating system by balancing resource consumption to achieve business goals, especially during peak resource usage periods.“

Librato products optimize the utilization of data center resources, including CPU, memory and application licenses, so that the data center can run as efficiently as possible. One of the key differentiators is the seamless integration into existing infrastructure requiring no modifications to applications or operating system. This allows Librato to deliver easy-to-deploy solutions for server consolidation, job priority management, checkpoint/restart/migration of jobs, capacity planning and chargeback.

Load Manager™
Do more with your existing hardware by increasing server utilization. Reduce capital expenditures through server consolidation.  Decrease operating cost with fewer operating system instances to manage.

Load Manager enables you to safely consolidate multiple applications on fewer servers by dynamically allocating resources to each application.  Dramatically increase server utilization by “sponging” unused capacity. Deliver predictable or even better application performance. Load Manager includes all of the Load Monitor features.

Load Monitor™
Track what resources are used by what applications when across the data center. Identify resource bottlenecks at the application level. Pinpoint where to invest or reduce for the biggest or least impact.

Load Monitor enables you to understand the business reasons why a server is busy or idle. Analyze application resource consumption for capacity planning, chargeback or problem isolation purposes. Identify applications that can gracefully coexist on the same server for consolidation initiatives. Isolate applications that need dedicated servers. Upgrade seamlessly to the Load Manager for active control of resource utilization.

Smart Suspend™
Manage job priorities by safely suspending jobs without losing any work. Increase the effective throughput of your grid while improving its flexibility.

Preempting a job for a higher priority one no longer means killing the lower priority job, only to restart it from the beginning. Smart Suspend enables the safe, efficient and proper suspension of the lower priority job, releasing its resources including CPU, memory and application license(s).

Availability Services™
Checkpoint and restart jobs to protect against hardware failure.  Migrate the jobs to different servers for high application availability. Increase the flexibility of job management within the grid without losing results.

Availability Services enables periodic or user initiated checkpoints and the ability to restart the job from a checkpoint. Checkpoints are used to guard against hardware failure, suspend low priority jobs and restart them when resources become available, migrate jobs for preventive maintenance or priority purposes, or to take advantage of more powerful servers that become available after a job starts.
