Savision Announces Cloud Reporter for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager
AMSTERDAM, January 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
New solution brings additional proactive capacity planning to Microsoft environments,
helping reduce unplanned downtime and hardware expenditures.
Savision, a leader in enterprise management solutions for Microsoft System Center,
today announces immediate availability of Cloud Reporter to manage capacity planning
within Microsoft Hyper-V environments.
Cloud Reporter projects historical resource consumption trends to inform current
resource allocation decisions. Companies can plan for the future, with the ability to
predict when memory, processors and storage resources will be exhausted. More importantly,
it offers re-allocation suggestions to prolong that timeline. Built-in reports identify
Microsoft Hyper-V clusters that have excess hardware capacity so companies can target them
as the destination for new virtual machines or re-allocate resources to clusters that need
them. Cloud Reporter enables auditing, capacity planning, and virtual machine right-sizing
for Hyper-V.
This ability to forecast when resources will become scarce empowers companies to
prevent unplanned downtime due to resource exhaustion. Gartner.com estimates the average
downtime cost at $42,000 per hour and that it is not unusual for an organization to reach
a cumulative total downtime of downtime of 87 hours per year. These costs can be reduced
and managed with Cloud Reporter.
Cloud Reporter's built-in reports show current capacity demands of a virtualized
infrastructure as well as future requirements based on current consumption patterns.
Companies can make better use of existing resources, freeing them from one virtual machine
and assigning to another in response to workloads. In doing so they can avoid rushed
purchases of hardware and can manage their IT equipment expenditures in a controlled and
predictable fashion. What-if scenarios allow end users to take into account up-coming
projects (e.g. rolling out virtual machines) or hardware changes (e.g. adding hosts,
adding RAM to hosts) in the capacity forecasts and improve the accuracy of the
predictions.
"System Center 2012 R2 introduced industry-leading new capabilities for the ecosystem
to build on," said Brian Hillger, Director, Product Marketing, Microsoft. "For example,
Cloud Reporter works with System Center to help customers determine resource needs over
time to help them plan for the best way to deploy virtual machines and place them on the
appropriate cluster. It helps our customers forecast hardware requirements in the future
by evaluating past resource consumption to determine trends."
"Companies around the world rely on Savision to manage their IT infrastructures," said
Diana Krieger, CEO of Savision. "As companies increase their adoption of cloud computing,
Cloud Reporter will help them optimize their resources and the underlying hardware
investments on which the cloud runs, ensuring seamless operation no matter the rate of
growth."
Savision's solutions have been adopted by international companies around the globe,
including Dublin Airport Authority and IDEXX Laboratories. Their products and services
accelerate resolution time of IT problems, provide improved organizational efficiency and
reduce business down time, allowing customers to realize over 20% cost reduction. Founded
in 2006, Savision is headquartered in the Netherlands and has offices in New York and
Ottawa. Savision's founders and executives bring years of enterprise systems and
application management experience from large IT service companies.
