Making the Best Hypervisor &
Hardware Choices for your Organization

Many organizations have let purchase decisions be guided by hardware and software vendors seeking to maximize revenues and have ended up significantly over-provisioning assets. CiRBA analysis provides a vendor-neutral view of your environment and the unique characteristics that each virtualization technology offers, enabling you to determine which hypervisor is best for your organization and how much hardware (if any) and software you really require. Using CiRBA’s consideration of these varying characteristics and quartile-based utilization analysis, organizations can evaluate the benefits of designing of virtualized infrastructure on any platform, including mainframes, according to financial objectives, workload personalities, risk tolerance, service level agreements and performance requirements.

CiRBA’s analysis templates provide an easy way to compare hypervisors, hardware options, and consolidation strategies LARGER VIEW

Including Financial Analysis in Purchase Decisions

CiRBA enables the results of any analysis (or group of What-If analyses) to be directly inserted into any Excel®-based ROI calculator including a default model that provides a comprehensive TCO/ROI calculation so decisions can be guided by the financial impact of technology decisions.
