How to Use Automation and Virtualization to Improve Service Levels of Your Applications

Tags: real-time, infrastructure, software, unified, applications, data

Overview Ninety percent of data center resources are sitting idle waiting for usage spikes. Because applications are tightly coupled to the machines on which they run, dedicated hardware must be set aside each time a new application is put into production. Over-provisioning translates into millions of dollars of unused assets. Create a more dynamic, real-time IT infrastructure that quickly reassigns resources to critical tasks and applications.

Cassatt Collage is a software solution that combines Goal-Driven Automation with Virtualization Control in a real-time infrastructure to deliver Service Level Automation.

Goal-Driven Automation optimizes resource allocation across the enterprise by taking existing policies, priorities, and Service Level Agreements and mapping them to Collage goals without using scripts.
Virtualization Control delivers unified control of all application components required to deliver increased service levels.

Collage treats physical and virtual entities as a dynamic pool from which resources are drawn based on priority and current demand, automatically making decisions without human intervention and reallocating resources between applications. Download this white paper to learn more about today.
