ComputeAnalyzer

A monitoring tool that helps organizations understand how their computing resources—like CPU, memory, and I/O—are being used. It provides a clear picture of how applications and hardware perform across workstations, servers, and even GRID environments.

“Accurate view of on-premise system utilization including GRID, high-performance computers, and servers.”

This helps teams make smarter decisions about resource allocation, system upgrades, and cost optimization—without needing to dive into technical details.

How do we do it?

Open iT Clients installed on workstations collect data on software and hardware resource usage. The data collected is then processed and stored in a format suitable for Open iT Server processing.

Key Benefits

ComputeAnalyzer offers practical advantages for organizations that want to better understand and manage how their computing resources are used. The following benefits highlight how the tool supports cost control, performance improvement, and smarter planning—without requiring deep technical expertise.

• Provides a Centralized Overview of Usage Patterns
  ComputeAnalyzer brings together data from across your systems—such as CPU, memory, and I/O usage—into one clear view. This helps teams quickly understand how computing resources are being used without needing to check multiple tools or dashboards.
• Reduces Costs by Identifying Underutilized Hardware
  By showing which machines are barely being used, ComputeAnalyzer helps organizations spot opportunities to consolidate or repurpose hardware—leading to smarter spending and less waste.
• Move Expensive Software from Slow to Faster Hardware
  If high-cost applications are running on underperforming machines, ComputeAnalyzer can help identify those mismatches. This allows teams to move software to faster systems, improving performance and user experience.
• Enables Accurate and Flexible IT Budgeting and Chargeback
  With detailed usage data, teams can plan budgets more precisely and even allocate costs to departments or projects based on actual resource consumption—making budgeting fairer and more transparent.
• Optimize System Resource Performance
  ComputeAnalyzer ensures that computing power is used where it’s needed most. By identifying bottlenecks or idle capacity, it supports better system performance and more efficient operations.

Who Uses ComputeAnalyzer?

ComputeAnalyzer is for anyone who wants to better understand data—no technical background required. It’s used by teams inside and outside the company to explore trends, track performance, and make informed decisions with ease. Whether you’re analyzing trends, monitoring performance, or identifying opportunities, ComputeAnalyzer helps turn complex data into clear, actionable insights.

IT Infrastructure Teams use ComputeAnalyzer to monitor system health, identify bottlenecks, and ensure hardware is used efficiently.

ComputeAnalyzer Reports

The reports below provide clear insights into system performance, resource usage, and job activity, helping teams optimize efficiency and make data-driven decisions

GRID (Throughput vs Wait Time)
Displays how many jobs are being completed (throughput) compared to how long jobs are waiting to start. This helps determine whether the system is running efficiently or experiencing delays.

GRID (Pending Reason)
Displays the reasons why jobs are waiting in the queue—such as lack of resources or scheduling limits—so teams can identify and resolve delays.

ComputeAnalyzer + LicenseAnalyzer L2
Displays combined system usage and license usage to show how computing power and software licenses are being used together. This helps identify inefficiencies and optimize resource allocation.

 

CPU Usage in Percentage
Displays how much of the CPU is being utilized over time. This helps identify whether systems are overloaded or underutilized.

 

Batch Statistics
Displays the performance of batch jobs (automated tasks), including how many ran, how long they took, and how frequently they were executed.

 

Pending Reason Trend Report
Displays how the reasons for job delays change over time. This helps teams identify recurring issues or measure improvements.

 

Wait Time per User
Displays how long each user’s jobs wait before starting. This helps identify if certain users are experiencing more delays than others.
