DCI-Control for Service Providers: Virtualization Efficiency & Risk Assessment Analytics (VERAA)

CiRBA's Virtualization Efficiency & Risk Assessment Analytics (VERAA) were designed specifically to enable the rapid assessment of health, risk and optimization opportuni­ties within virtual and cloud infrastructure. CiRBA's VERAA determines how efficiently resources are being used and what changes are required to VM placements and resource allocations to reduce risk and waste.

VERAA leverages CiRBA's innovative Efficiency & Risk Spectrum which provides a single picture that reveals an environment's health at the VM, host, cluster, and data center levels. This visualization reflects whether entities have too much resource (in the yellow zone), too little resource (in the red zone) or just the right amount (in the green zone) according to utilization requirements and organizational policies. Supporting this powerful view are detailed actions that indentify what steps are required to move all the entities into the optimal or green zone.
