It’s never been truer than it is today, everyone is being asked to control IT expenditures and reduce business risk while improving operational efficiency. This includes storage-related capital purchases, personnel, environmental (floor space, power consumption, cooling), and other operational expenditures. In addition, there is external pressure to meet regulatory compliance requirements and internal pressure to meet SLAs while controlling costs.
It is critical to align IT resources with business objectives. In nearly every data center, there is wasteful consumption and significant over-provisioning of IT assets. Without the ability to measure performance and utilization, many IT managers continue buying more expensive hardware rather than risk impacting business-critical applications. Having the ability to measure the performance and utilization of your infrastructure will save your organization a tremendous amount of money, reduce risk, and enable you to avoid single-vendor lock-in for fear of losing negotiation leverage and access to the best new technologies.
We have experience across many dozens of large-scale, Global 2000 enterprise customers who have proven Virtual Instrument’s unique capabilities - combining comprehensive, real-time monitoring of SAN and virtual infrastructure utilization, performance, and availability—to drive significant business and operational benefits. The reason is logical: if you can measure it, you can manage and optimize it. The largest and most readily-quantifiable of those benefits typically fall into the following five categories:
- Operational (OPEX) Savings
- Capital (CAPEX) Savings
- Adherence to SLAs and regulations
- Higher revenues due to accelerated IT projects
- Stronger IT vendor management with reduced risk
- Saving OPEX and CAPEX through your Green Initiative
