VMUG UA #1 BMC Capacity Optimization

Editor's Notes

• #3: Define what is capacity management – lining up IT supply with Demand Regardless of environment: Virtual, cloud, physical, hybrid Dispel the Myth: it is easy and safer to align capacity thanks to virtualization and cloud. FALSE: it actually makes it more complex
• #6: Most companies don’t event have a Capacity Manager… Using BCO allows them the ability to adopt capacity management more easily Those who do – BMC will not make them obsolete, but to allow them to focus on more business critical areas and cover additional areas Proof Points ( Capacity ) ADP – 20% to 60% increased server utilization with $9.9M savings over 3 years Kimberly Clark – $386K cost avoidance in additional hardware expenses in one month of deployment Vodafone – 80% staff productivity gain by reducing the effort required for capacity planning of their mission critical applications from 15 days to 3 days YRCW – 75% reduction in number of physical servers ; Increased VM density by 2x 80% of customers rate designing and managing their virtualized infrastructures as their top priorities 96% of customers rate reducing the overall cost of their infrastructure as their top priority 57% of companies think the most important reason for managing VM sprawl is to prevent the unnecessary over allocation of IT resources 42% of companies rate server sizing as their biggest challenge with virtualization
• #7: Emphasize differentiators… Holistic Business-aware Virtualization and cloud planning Automated exception-based analysis, reporting and planning BSM integration
• #10: expected threshold violation within 2 months  automatic notification via exception reports
