Data Center Optimization
What is Data Center Optimization?
Data Center Optimization is the ongoing process of increasing the effectiveness of IT services while containing or reducing costs. This may entail consolidation of unused applications into under-utilized hardware, migration to virtualization or blade centers. When successful, businesses can realize substantial cost savings and improved services. When unsuccessful, businesses may suffer from interrupted service and lost revenue.
FireScope takes a unique approach to the complex task of optimizing the data center based on aligning networked assets with the services they provide and analyzing the technology metrics side-by-side with business metrics that reflect the impact of the technology.
- Cost per outage
- Transactions per hour
- E-commerce revenue trends
- Cost per data breach
Example Business Metrics
- Network utilization
- Processor utilization
- Average user load
- Severity of security events
Example Technology Metrics
As a result of FireScope's revolutionary approach, businesses gain an unprecedented level of visibility into how your assets impact the business, processed and delivered in real-time via user-customizable dashboards and interactive reports.
Armed with this rich intelligence, identifying opportunities for consolidation, virtualization or migration to other emerging technologies becomes radically simpler and considerably more accurate. Once the opportunities have been targeted, FireScope can assist with isolating ideal maintenance windows and tracking the long-term business and operational impact of change.
