the fastest, safest path to server consolidation and virtualization
DESCRIPTION
CiRBA offers Data Center Intelligence (DCI), analysis software that provides transformational and operational analytics. Transformational analytics is the ability to rapidly analyze and visually map the safest path to an optimally transformed data center. Operational analytics is the ability to continually audit the environment to maintain the optimal state despite constantly changing constraints and configurations. The benefits of this approach include cross-platform coverage and enterprise scalability, flexibility to consider multiple options and choose the best path forward in full light of business, technical, and process constraints.TRANSCRIPT
