• Managing capacity effectively - with precise calculations on how many VMs and at what levels of capacity
• Consumption profiling - to allocate workloads across mutiple different platforms (physical, virtual, private cloud, public cloud)
• SLA management and supplier/consumer management - providing visibility into your environment and how it is being consumed and charged for
• "Showback" - with usage-based calculations to show users their cloud consumption profile
• IT Chargeback - implementing usage-based cost allocation dependent on usage

Advanced analytics, effective cloud management

We cover all IT domains – from all your physical and virtual assets across the datacentre, storage, network and comms, through to the critical business applications and services running over them.

We work with you to identify the right mix of analytics to supply the insight you need – whether it be understanding which services/applications to select for migration, to gaining evidence on business usage across your organisation for accurate capacity and demand planning, to auditing invoices for cost transparency.

Our analytics use data already available within your environment, from either your cloud provisioning and management systems, infrastructure management tools, supplier invoices or CMDBs. There's no deployment or installation impact - and no upfront costs, performance impact and no agents to deploy.
