Managing and Optimizing YourData Center with PlateSpin Solutions

• Workloads cannot be easily re-hosted across platform boundaries

Datacenter is full of inflexible platforms

Workloads and Resources operate unbalanced

• Servers with many resources are handling small workloads(under-utilization/wastage)

• Servers with small resources are handling large workloads(over-utilization/risk)

If you could …

• Measure workloads and resources effectively• Move workloads easily in your datacenter, then• You could optimize resource supply and workload demand

saving money and reducing risk

Large Resource Supply

Small Resource Supply

Small Workload Demand

Large Workload Demand

BALANCE BETWEEN WORKLOAD DEMAND AND RESOURCE SUPPLY

Workload Profiling(Cornerstone Technology)

• The workload profile captures information about the encapsulated data, applications and operating systems residing on a physical or virtual host to raise awareness of state of business services in the data center

Workload Portability(Cornerstone Technology)

• Workload Portability™ enables server workloads to be migrated within and across different data center infrastructures to increase flexibility overall
