Windows 8 and 8.1 Boot Performance
|
Provides an overview of boot performance issues encountered by the users of Windows 8 Clients. It provides in-depth information about the bottleneck resources that caused slowdown in the system boot process, and pinpoints the various applications and services that used up those particular resources.
|
Overall Performance: This chart trends the average boot time, breaking it down by computer hardware manufacturer. The number of issues found in any particular computer type is normalized to enable you to compare computer types with each other, and make better purchasing decisions. This chart shows information on the top 10 most problematic computer types. These computer types are identified by looking at the computer types that are consistently having the highest failure ratios over the last three months.
Root Causes: This chart displays the root causes that contributed to boot performance degradation. This charts the average number of times a particular root cause was evidenced in a particular week. Since each computer can have multiple root causes behind its degradation, these root causes together will not sum to the number of boot performance issues evidenced in the enterprise.

Memory Exhaustion chart: shows memory exhaustion over time, and identifies the amount of installed RAM. The data is normalized, and you can view it by computer type. Concentration of memory exhaustion chart: shows the number of memory exhaustion incidents and disruption to users due to low memory conditions. The concentration graph shows the number of computers experiencing memory exhaustion during the past week related the amount of installed RAM. You can view the data by the type of computer.
Application Memory Utilization: charts the applications that used up the memory resources, identifies the average commit charge (amount of memory used by the application) of applications during the time the system is experiencing the low memory conditions. Note that this is not the average memorization utilization of a particular application through its execution lifetime, rather, it is the condition of the application during the periods the computer is reporting a low memory condition.

The number of issues found in any particular computer type is normalized to enable you to compare computer types with each other, and make better purchasing decisions. This chart shows information on the top 10 most problematic computer types. These computer types are identified by looking at the computer types that are consistently having the highest failure ratios over the last three months.
Root Causes: this chart displays the root causes that contributed to resume performance degradation. This charts the average number of times a particular root cause was evidenced in a particular week. Since each computer can have multiple root causes behind its degradation, these root causes together will not sum to the number of resume performance issues evidenced in the enterprise.
|
Windows 8 Resume Performance: Degraded Component
|
Gives detailed information on the individual components contributing to slow resuming of Windows 8 Clients from standby across the enterprise. The average reported time taken is not over all resume cycles, but only takes into consideration those boots that were considerably slower due to a particular application/service. Therefore, this is not representative of all resume cycles in the enterprise, just those that have degraded.
|
|
Windows 8 Shell Computer
|
Gives detailed information on the individual components contributing to slow Shell Performance of Windows 8 Clients across the enterprise. The report features columns for each of the bottleneck resources that cause system performance degradation. For each computer that has performance degradation, the columns indicate the number of times a particular resource contributed to performance degradation on that computer.
