Increase Uptime Reduce costly downtimes: Detect hardware failures - Upon hardware failure, a standard alert is generated § Natively integrates with BEM or 3 rd-parties The alert contains a full text description of the problem § Short description, status reported by the device § Value of the various parameters and thresholds § Possible consequences and recommended action § Help to identify and replace the faulty device Increase uptime: Prevent hardware failures - Temperature/cooling/voltage proactive warnings Replace faulty parts to maintain redundancy Proactive alerts on CPUs, memory and hard drives © Copyright 11/30/2020 BMC Software, Inc 9

Reporting the Power Consumption in the Data Center Live graph - In Watts Report - In k. Wh Per hour Per day Allow to calculate the actual energy cost of any system Benefits - “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” Identify power-hungry devices Estimate the cost reduction provided by virtualization, upgrades, etc. Charge-back application owners © Copyright 11/30/2020 BMC Software, Inc 18

Warming the Data Center Cooling costs = 50% of the electricity costs in the data center - P. U. E. = 2. 0+ Measure the temperature - Internal CPUs Ambient Compare to the alert thresholds Let you find the optimal temperature in the datacenter - Higher temperature means less cooling 1 degree warmer means 5% cooling costs reduction © Copyright 11/30/2020 BMC Software, Inc 20

Why BMC and Sentry Goal Improve uptime, optimize performance Lower IT costs Manage energy costs Where it Hurts Missed hardware failures Long time to resolve problems Integrating the monitoring of a new platform is complex and time-consuming Energy expenses keep climbing every year Frustrating not to know the culprits and what to do about it • Hardware-related problems • SAN-related problems Problems involve sysadmins, network admins and SAN admins. Hard to arbitrate Root Cause Solved by How Lack of visibility on server Hardware and SAN hardware health instrumentation is Lack of visibility on SAN perf. vendor-specific and sometimes even lacking No per-device visibility on power consumption Sentry’s Hardware and Storage Monitoring Solution Monitors the hardware • Servers, disk arrays, SAN switches, tape libraries • Disks, RAIDs, power supplies, NICs, HBAs, processors, etc. • Discovery, Inventory, Monitoring, © Copyright 11/30/2020 BMC Software, Inc Diagnosis, Reporting, Data traffic Single solution for all • Brocade, Cisco, DELL, EMC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Net. App, Sun, etc. Monitors the power consumption • On each server and SAN device, in Watts and k. Wh • Works on 100% of IT 22
