I/O Analyzer is a virtual appliance tool that provides a simple and standardized approach to storage performance analysis in VMware vSphere virtualized environments. I/O Analyzer provides a structured way to generate a variety of I/O workloads on the test system(s), including the ability to allow the user to replay an I/O trace that was captured elsewhere.
