Business Challenge
IT organizations with multi-server clustered environments running applications such as Oracle 10g, Apache and Microsoft IIS need an alternative to static server over-provisioning. In order to consolidate their data centers and run them cost-effectively, their clusters need dynamic, policy-based provisioning to meet rapidly changing user demands. This allows fluctuating load levels to be addressed with dynamic provisioning and the virtualized sharing of resources across applications.
Business Need
- Have greater server control and improved efficiencies with automated policy-based management
- Reduce IT costs through resource sharing between clusters
- Improve application service level availability up to 99.999% by ensuring additional capacity
- Allow unused capacity to be reclaimed, to dramatically increase utilization
Our Solution
In enterprise IT environments with large and growing clusters, BMC Virtualizer for Capacity on Demand (COD) helps companies deliver higher levels of application availability, reduce costs and achieve data center consolidation. It allows fluctuating load levels to be addressed with dynamic provisioning and the virtualized sharing of resources across applications. As a result, BMC Virtualizer COD can eliminate the 5-10x over-provisioning of servers that IT managers typically allocate for business-critical applications – substantial savings when applied across multiple-rack environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Scales dynamically to meet changing work loads with variable capacity, reducing IT costs by 40% or more through resource sharing between clusters
- Enables capacity and automated server provisioning to be scheduled based on IT-defined policy
- Prioritizes scale-out across clusters, based on relative service level priority and available resources, improving application service level
- Dynamically scales out a clustered application from a single VMware virtual machine session to multiple physical servers
- Enables greater server control and improved efficiencies with automated policy-based management
- Improves regulatory compliance through change tracking and alerting
- Provides all the features of BMC Virtualizer for High Availability (HA)
