8 Reasons to use CiRBA Software
for Virtualization Analysis in
Your Data Center

No other software solution combines technical, workload and business constraints to provide actionable maps for server consolidation and virtualization. Unlike other approaches CiRBA offers:

Lowest Risk Answers

CiRBA is the only solution that considers all of the critical constraints required to analyze production environments for virtualization.  Approaches that rely only on capacity planning tools ignore critical constraints that can make or break an initiative.

Most Advanced Workload Analysis Available

Risk mitigation is of critical importance in production environments and accurate workload analysis plays a key role. In addition to its rules-driven business and technical constraint analysis, CiRBA provides the most advanced workload analysis available for accurately modeling how workloads will look when virtualized. CiRBA's advanced workload analysis enables organizations to accurately plan and design virtualized infrastructure on any platform, including mainframes, according to workload personalities, risk tolerance, service level agreements and performance requirements.
 

Flexible What-if Analysis for Evaluating Different Scenarios

CiRBA's powerful What-if analysis enables organizations to explore all the options available for consolidation from platforms to consolidation ratios to truly achieve the optimal balance between risk and savings while establishing a manageable infrastructure.
 

Provides Ongoing Analytics to Keep Virtualized
Infrastructure Optimized

To say that virtualization provides new management challenges for IT is an understatement. CiRBA's advanced analytics enable organizations apply advanced intelligence to the management and orchestration of these dynamic environments on an ongoing basis to keep them optimized despite constantly changing conditions.

Most Accurate Analysis Available

Many consolidation initiatives are compromised due to out of date, incomplete or inaccurate data that has been manually gathered and fed into a spreadsheet for analysis. Technology driven analysis always provides timely data because it can be re-run at any time to accommodate constantly changing environments.
 

Cross-Platform Analysis

CiRBA provides cross-platform analytics to provide unlimited potential for evaluating an environment for consolidation and virtualization opportunities.

No Hardware or Software Agenda

CiRBA analysis is impartial and is not tied to investments in new hardware or software. In many cases consolidation analysis shows how existing hardware can be used over a longer term successfully. Server consolidation maps are available very quickly and are actionable by internal staff or by a services partner at your discretion.

Fastest Time to Value

Because CiRBA is empirical and automated there is very little delay between targeting a group of servers and having an actionable plan. Unlike services intensive analysis approaches, CiRBA provides answers immediately so that action can be taken and savings realized.
