Product Offering & Capabilities

Problem: Just-in-case provisioning 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 method of provisioning application infrastructure…….until now Data centers typically deploy large infrastructures of isolated over- capacity Resulting in:

Solution: Just-in-time provisioning 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 What Think Control offers is: works with YOUR best-practices works with your existing network and storage infrastructure not disruptive to existing applications
