Librato Load Manager is an application workload management solution that enables fine-grained monitoring and control of major system resources such as CPU, memory, network I/O and storage I/O. As a policy-based fair share scheduler, Load Manager ensures enterprise applications are allocated the system resources required for optimal performance and predictable service levels. By dynamically assigning unused capacity, Load Manager dramatically increases server utilization, enabling IT organizations to get the most out of existing resources.

As a groundbreaking, user space technology, Load Manager requires no modifications to the underlying operating system (OS) or the applications under management. Load Manager is also very lightweight with typically less than 1% overhead.

• Monitors and controls CPU, memory, network I/O and storage I/O
• Supports x86 platforms running Linux and Windows on physical or virtual servers
• Dynamic resource rebalancing to redistribute spare capacity to other applications
• No modification required to applications or underlying operating system
• Lightweight with typically less than 1% overhead

• Deliver predictable application performance and quality of service to guarantee application SLAs
• Consolidate multiple applications onto fewer servers
• Maximize server utilization
• Set and enforce policies to link system resource utilization to business priorities
• Reduce management costs with fewer OS instances and servers
• Enable application resource usage analysis for:
  
  
  • Capacity planning
