Why Greater Control is Needed in
Virtual & Cloud Infrastructure

Most organizations today combat risk in virtualized infrastructure by over-provisioning. Significantly over-provisioning. Excess capacity and allocations create a costly buffer zone that erodes the ROI on virtualization and cloud initiatives, but it's a cost that most organizations feel they have no choice but to incur because of the complexity of these new school environments.

Shared infrastructure, workload mobility, and the rate of change in these environments greatly increases complexity resulting in a lack of visibility and control. Not only is there a technical challenge of fitting the workloads together, but placements and sizing needs to consider the applicable business and operational policies for each workload. In addition, the constant changes as workloads come and go make contending with all the variables and decisions almost crippling. Until now.

CiRBA DCI-Control acts as the brain in new school data centers, giving organizations unprecedented visibility and control over efficiency and risk. By providing complete visibility and precise actions as to what needs to be done to improve efficiency and reduce risk, CiRBA DCI-Control provides the missing element required to mitigate risk and run efficient infrastructure.

Only CiRBA DCI-Control enables organizations to:

1. Visualize and understand what needs to be done.

In a single glance, see which resources are appropriately placed, provisioned, and configured and which are at risk – at the environment, cluster, host and VM level – through the Efficiency and Risk Spectrum.

2. Control to mitigate risk and maximize efficiency.

Understand precisely what needs to be done to improve efficiency and mitigate risk according to your operational policies and operational data.

3. Automate to increase agility.

Integrate DCI-Control with existing management systems, orchestration tools, provisioning systems and ticketing apps to safely automate workload placements and changes to resource allocations.

CiRBA DCI-Control is used by organizations to achieve daily control over their infrastructure and to accurately measure efficiency. It is also used by SI partners to assess the health of their clients virtual and cloud environments.
