Presentation To <Customer> <Date>
Mission Think Dynamics is in the business of automating the management of data center resources thereby enabling senior IT executives to reduce costs, improve service levels, increase business/IT alignment and enhancing agility We do this by automating and accelerating three key practices: • Capacity management • Service level management • Automated environment provisioning
Feedback from customers The top issues we hear from CIOs and other senior IT executives facing the organization today are: • Utility Computing • Server Consolidation • Disaster Recovery • Capacity-on-Demand • High Availability • Testing environments • Automated provisioning
Problem: Just-in-case provisioning Data centers typically deploy large infrastructures of isolated over-capacity Resulting in: • Average Resource utilization of only 20% • High Cost of servers, software and maintenance • Unpredictable services levels • Reactive IT staff and human error • Disconnect between IT spending and business goals • traditional manual systems administration practices have prevented a more efficient methodof provisioning application infrastructure…….until now
Capacity Management • Measure Infrastructure Performance • Measure Application Performance • Analyze & Predict Application Resource Requirements Service Level Management Define data center & application service levels Measure application service levels Report on application service level compliance Prevent application service level breach Manage contention for resources between applications Infrastructure Provisioning Complete N-tier application environments Server Provisioning OS / Package Provisioning Application Software Provisioning Network Configuration & Provisioning Cluster / array provisioning Solution: Just-in-time provisioning What Think Control offers is: • works with YOUR best-practices • works with your existing network and storage infrastructure • not disruptive to existing applications
