NTPRO.NL reports about a new application that VMware previewed during the VMworld 2010 conference (read virtualization.info live coverage) called Storage Tester:
VMware Storage Tester automates the traditional storage performance analysis cycle to reduce the diagnosis time from days to hours.

In future releases it will feature a rule-based diagnostic engine running a decision tree algorithm to provide diagnostic information based on a knowledge base and the stored performance database.
There are some screenshots too. Here’s one:
