Will Your Applications Perform as Planned After Data Consolidation?
IT organizations are tasked with improving service levels and application performance while simultaneously reducing costs. One compelling strategy is to reduce the complexity and increase the manageability of IT’s most strategic asset: the data center.
Data center consolidation seeks to simplify the IT environment and increase the ease of IT infrastructure management. When achieved, this consolidation reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs, improves service levels and enhances application performance.
To define and achieve data center consolidation goals you need to understand current service levels. With the Gomez platform, you can:
- establish a performance and availability baseline
- track the success of your data center consolidation strategy
- compare application performance before and after consolidation
- effectively manage the complexity of environments with multiple data centers
- ensure your web applications render and function optimally across all strategic browsers, operating systems and mobile devices — before and after consolidation
- ensure your specialized environments like SAP, Citrix and 3270 applications perform before, during and after consolidation
- provide end-to-end visibility across the entire allocation delivery chain before, during and after transformation to a virtualized data center
- provide complete visibility into usage, bandwidth and application contention across all aspects of your network to include Internet, LAN and WAN links
- identify performance targets of applications before they are moved using the Response Time Predictor to establish realistic and attainable service-level goals
- centralize your entire inventory of performance monitoring tool sets into a comprehensive management solution
- validate that your web applications scale under load in your new environment.
