Permessa Control! OnDemand
Server Consolidation Assurance
Operational costs are spiraling upwards. An Exchange or Domino server consolidation might go a long way towards keeping costs in check.
But how feasible is this project and what kind of benefits will result?
If you are already committed to a server consolidation project, Permessa can provide you more detailed analysis, modeling, planning and validation of the whole project with a Server Consolidation Service. But if you are not yet committed, before dedicating time to planning the project, we can help you quickly assess:
- Network impact - how network traffic -- over each WAN link -- will change now that local servers are consolidated to centralized sites?
- Storage impact - how much disk space will be required on these consolidated servers? As fewer (if any) replicas are needed, how much will overall disk consumption be reduced?
- How much will costs be cut after the consolidation project is complete?
- Due to high usage, which applications need to remain in remote locations in order to keep WAN bandwidth costs from spiraling out of control and consuming all potential savings?
Trying to model this using manual tools or simply guesstimating will only result in disaster with huge underages or overages.
The Server Consolidation Assurance OnDemand offering objectively models network, server and aggregate usage on a site by site basis. Priced on a per-site basis (where each site has a maximum of 5 pre-consolidation servers and these are either Exchange/Domino email servers or are Domino application servers), we model and predict what your email or application usage and traffic will be post-consolidation.
Delivered in a single integrated Web portal, served up from Permessa, you will get the objective analysis to answer these questions - questions that you likely always wanted to know, but never had the time to answer.
