Solution
Align your IT Investments to your Business Strategy
Over the last couple of years virtualization and cloud technology have enabled you to realize maximum value from your datacenter. However without a demand management system tracking the services and expenses of your cloud, IT costs are just a one lump sum investment. Which IT services are underutilized, which are over-subscribed, what services are over/or under-priced and why is this project over budget? The answer to these and other critical questions is VAlign InsightTM. Insight is the only activity-based demand management and accounting solution you’ll need for consistently and accurately tracking the costs associated with your private or public cloud investment. Insight empowers you with critical demand and usage information, providing visibility into how much of the shared (virtual) cloud infrastructure resources—compute, storage, and network—are consumed, at an accurate cost-basis.
By metering resource usage and correlating it to services and consumers VAlign provides an automated solution that continually and accurately:
- Monitors IT costs and return on investment
- Prices IT services
- Recovers IT cost
- Manages IT demand
- Enables right sizing of applications
- Forecasts capacity needs
