• Align Capacity Planning with Business Growth

Stop overspending on infrastructure and align capacity planning with business growth - only with FireScope.

Capacity planning today is challenged in two ways; analysis is performed against individual technology siloes (e.g. storage, network) and critical business factors are never included. FireScope has eliminated these challenges and revolutionized capacity planning for enterprises across the globe.

The process starts by leveraging business data to forecast where the business will be in coming months or years. Then, performance and utilization data from across the infrastructure stack, from environmentals to user experiences, are analyzed based on how they contribute to business outcomes. This data is further aggregated across all business locations to deliver a global enterprise view of your capacity footprint and restraints. The end result, IT has clear visibility into where the business will be, and what investments are required to support this growth.

FireScope's approach uses genetic algorithms and multi-variable 'what-if' scenario generation - the same tools that business users have been using for decades to analyze supply chains and finance. When combined with FireScope's native API integration with VMware, NetApp, Cisco as well as 20+ data collection methodologies, IT finally gains easy access to centralized decision support across technology, geographical and vendor siloes.
