Benefits to you
Insight Dynamics - VSE enables you to proactively
deal with potential issues (such as performance,
power and space constraints) before they become
problems that impact your business
Manage system resource/power usage to avoid
system overloads and outages. Analyze workload
usage for shifting non-essential workloads to
off-peak hours
Use the infrastructure orchestration capability of
Insight Dynamics, and the fast provisioning it
enables, to make provisioning automated with the
self-service portal
Create workflows customized for your environment
with a visual designer to automate pre- and postprocessing
tasks
Using the five-star rating system, you can see in
real time the best fit for your logical server, then
drag and drop it in the new location
Create disaster recovery plans that encompass
both physical and virtual servers in the failover of
services and learn to how to recover back after a
failover
Quickly evaluate different scenarios for
consolidating older and underutilized physical
servers onto virtual machines. Plan for efficient
CPU, memory, I/O bandwidth, and power
consolidations
Extend the life of your data center by quickly
identifying and consolidating inefficient systems
onto fewer, more power-efficient servers
