Data Center Intelligence for Efficiency Management

Virtualization and consolidation have been widely embraced by IT organizations in order to significantly reduce capital and operating costs, while maximizing the efficient use of resources. In many cases, initial deployments have enabled organizations to realize some savings, such as a reduction in physical hardware, or lower power and cooling costs. The reality is that most organizations are still far from achieving the full benefits and savings that virtualization has to offer. In spite of consolidation efforts, infrastructure is still inefficient

Efficiency Management is the continuous right-sizing of IT environments through policy-driven analyses of detailed configuration, business, and utilization data. CiRBA’s analytics software enables organizations to safely maximize the efficiency of physical and virtual infrastructure by determining the optimal workload placements, resource allocations, and configurations. This ensures workloads have enough capacity to satisfy their needs, while preventing them from having too much.

CiRBA applies rule-based policies, advanced workload algorithms, and multi-dimensional, What-If analysis to accurately model and proactively manage environments in a way not otherwise possible. CiRBA doesn’t move or motion workloads or provision capacity, rather it provides the optimal answers so that better decisions are made in the management of placements and allocations.
