Syncsort™ Capacity Management uses information from the past and present to predict the future.
You can determine the impacts of proposed or potential changes to your infrastructure so you can work proactively to ensure your business continues running without disruption. These changes might range from adding new applications to dramatically increasing the number of users resulting from a merger or acquisition.
With Syncsort™ Capacity Management, you can also plan for major infrastructure and data changes, such as migrating applications or servers to the cloud, or consolidating physical systems into virtualized environments.
You can also improve disaster recovery planning by modelling scenarios for unplanned outages of critical systems. Anticipate the practical impacts so that response procedures and workarounds can be developed in advance, not under crisis conditions.
With so many workloads moving to the cloud – and spanning multiple public and private clouds – effectively managing your cloud capacity is essential to avoid extra spending.
You might believe you don’t need capacity management in the cloud, since you can increase capacity to meet business needs on demand. Although it’s true that cloud provides this capability, it’s not without a cost.
Syncsort™ Capacity Management enables you to plan and manage capacity once your workloads are in the cloud to stay within budget.
Managing capacity while migrating applications and services to the cloud can also prove challenging. This is particularly true for multi- and hybrid cloud environments. Syncsort™ Capacity Management works seamlessly across your on-premises and private, public and multi-cloud environments so you can meet your SLAs while keeping costs in check.
