Do You Want Your Systems Running Like This...
|
 
People place demands on your systems at various
times. Transactions arrive unpredictably. Workloads vary and
interact in unplanned ways. Most NonStop systems cannot be manually
balanced and tuned in anticipation of these continually changing demands.
This leads to bottlenecks, over- and under-utilized CPUs and contention
for other system resources. The workload on your systems is further
complicated by planned or unplanned outages, hardware and software upgrades
or other changes. |
| ...Or Like This? | 
With the Overlord Balancer installed, processes
are automatically distributed to avoid contention and prevent bottlenecks,
providing the best possible performance of your applications. All
processes become more responsive. Reduce the number of complaints,
support calls and hours spent balancing your systems. The Balancer
requires no human intervention or application modifications.
Save significant time and effort when your environment changes due to outages, hardware and software upgrades, migrations or system consolidations. The Balancer automatically responds to these situations and continues to provide maximum performance. Avoid the need to manually rebalance your workload when changes are made. |
| Let the Overlord Balancer make your life easier! Handle more transactions in the same amount of time! Improve application response time! Reduce batch turnaround time! Increase overall system availability! |
| Centralized or Distributed Priority Management | Intelligently managing process priorities is one of the most effective ways to improve application performance. Let the Overlord Balancer make it easy to enforce the priority rules you establish. The Balancer can override priorities specified elsewhere, giving you a single place to set and change your priority standards. |
| Customer Comments | The Overlord customer base includes companies from every major NonStop industry. Our customers have saved significant time and money by employing the Overlord Balancer to work for them. A major retailer says, "Overlord eliminated the manual effort to balance all new processes, thereby cost justifying it." A government contractor comments, "Purchasing the Overlord product enabled us to channel system administration resources into other productive projects." A leading manufacturer states, "Without the Balancer, we would have needed to purchase more hardware to get the same amount of work done." A bank adds, "Process response time has been reduced. We were able to cost justify the Balancer simply from a staffing time allocation perspective -- the time that would be required to monitor those environments (in order to provide the level of service agreed upon with our clients) versus allowing Overlord to handle those issues." |
| Overlord Support Services | Overlord boasts the lowest maintenance cost in the industry, reducing your on-going, annual software maintenance expenses. Training is easy with our PC-based installation and on-line help facility. Evaluators and customers receive free telephone and internet support. As one customer states, "We had our system manager learn the product hands-on with Overlord's technical staff and then he trained the rest of the staff with on-the-job training." Another states, "Our senior staff members were available to mentor, when required, which was rare as the utility is simple to use." Additional customized Technical Services are available to suit your specific needs. |
| Free Evaluation on Your Own System(s) | Overlord will work with you to evaluate the Balancer's capabilities in your own production or test environment. It is extremely easy to install -- it usually takes less than an hour to begin seeing results -- and can be implemented without interrupting subsystems or applications. |
