Use Breeze to become fast, agile and cloud ready

Breeze gives you the information you need to solve deployment and performance problems quickly and tune your applications for your IT setup whether on-prem or in the cloud. It forms a common language for IT managers, users and software vendors to work together, taking the guesswork out of issue resolution. Breeze tells you:

• Which files and network locations your program has accessed
• How much data has been read or written
• How many meta-data operations such as move() or create() your program has performed
• ... and much more

Profiling file I/O with Breeze

Even when programs are designed well, it is still easy for local settings to affect performance. Files stored in the wrong place can affect your application and everything else on the cluster. Breeze profiles application file I/O so you can ensure you are storing files in the right place.

Trace application dependencies

Breeze automatically detects which files, programs and libraries have been used by an application to create a bill of materials for each run. This can be used to solve deployment issues or to prove the correctness of a deployment.

Solving installation and migration issues

Often find yourself running strace and writing your own scripts to analyse the results? Stop and switch to Breeze now! Commonly, a program will work on one machine, but not on another, or for one user and not another. With Breeze you can quickly compare the two, saving hours of engineering time.

Gain a unique view of your data

Breeze’s unique traffic light view provides a quick, clear snapshot of how your job is performing. Seeing how much is good I/O and how much is bad lets you zoom in on the problems quickly.

One clear GUI

Breeze’s graphical user interface offers multiple views that allow you
to explore your data and drill down to find the information that you need.

A command-line API

Automate checks to improve the quality of service that you offer to your team. By integrating Breeze into your working practices, you can
solve problems before they become a problem.

Improve communication with non-expert cluster users

Breeze’s Healthcheck report creates a simple resource that you can give
to non-expert cluster users, detailing straightforward I/O issues.

Prepare for your next migration with Breeze

Whether you’re heading to the cloud or to a new storage architecture, Breeze will provide invaluable information for your migration strategy. Use the list of dependencies provided by Breeze to solve installation problems and migrate your applications to the cloud or a container platform easily. Analysis on resource use and I/O patterns lets you size storage requirements easily.
