Consolidation

More and more medium to large enterprises are looking to reduce operational costs. They look to IT consolidation as a first step to achieve these cost reduction goals. According to Gartner “over 46% of IT consolidation projects fail due to overrun budgets, poor project planning, over-capacity in design and underestimating the complexity of such projects." MetiLinx provides the technology required for the rapid, accurate assessment and analysis of server systems for IT consolidation.

MetiLinx provides the foundation required for the initial stages of IT consolidation, as well as the tools necessary to effectively optimize and manage the consolidated infrastructure.

Business Drivers

• Reduce Costs - Drive down excessive IT costs
• Reduce Complexity - Simplify IT environment
• Reduce Management Overhead - Fewer servers require less administration
• Improve Utilization - Use idle capacity more effectively to process business transactions
• Greater Flexibility - Become more agile in response to business changes
• Efficiency and Control - “Do more with less”
• High Availability – 40% of end-user-experienced downtime is the result of operational error-“reduce complexity, reduce downtime”
• Increased Revenue - Virtualization capability enables IT application developers to develop and deploy enterprise applications faster; supporting new opportunities and demand spikes

MetiLinx solutions help enterprises to address the following concerns

• What do I have and how is it being used?
• How can I get the most ROI out of my consolidated infrastructure?
• How do I effectively manage the new, consolidated environment and support new business demand?
• Now that I have centralized and consolidated my infrastructure, how do I account for who is using what?

Value
MetiLinx solutions help reduce the time taken to assess and correlate capacity, utilization and availability of information that is necessary to make informed consolidation decisions. They provide a holistic view of IT systems, a foundation to support all phases of consolidation and the ability to assess and virtualize heterogeneous environments.
