Capacity Planning Challenges and EGI Solution Benefits
In order to accommodate increases in computing resource demands and ensure your assets are efficiently deployed, you need a strategic vision of your business’ potential for growth. EGI understands how today’s capacity planning can affect tomorrow’s operational effectiveness and can help your company increase asset utilization, reduce system downtime and a build a more productive IT infrastructure.
Issue
Datacenter Space Constraints
As physical infrastructure equipment increases due to enterprise growth, increased data storage and other factors, data centers are becoming overcrowded. With physical space at a premium, enterprises need to figure out how best to organize their IT assets for maximum efficiency.
Benefit
Datacenter Rationalization
EGI capacity planning solutions can help you do more with less, and strategically plan to accommodate growth. Powerful solutions including server rationalization/consolidation, asset redeployment, grid computing and more can help you grow in capacity, without increasing your physical space requirements.
Issue
Inability to Forecast Demand
Companies that are growing often do not take into consideration the massive changes in resource requirements that accompany that growth. The additional pressures of compliance data retention can strain your computing resources to the breaking point.
Benefit
Strategic Scalability
With EGI’s capacity planning solutions, your company can employ a strategic plan to predict and accommodate demand before it occurs. With flexible, scalable architectures designed and expert capacity requirements analysis from EGI, you can plan to add just the resources you need, in lock step with your growing demands.
Issue
Poor Resource Utilization
Often, an enterprise’s limited computing capacity is due to the tendency to constantly add new equipment to meet changing or increased demand, often resulting in over-bought and underutilized assets.
Benefit
Efficient Resource Utilization
EGI’s asset redeployment capabilities leverage your existing resources to provide better performance and greater utilization. This can lead to increased efficiency and profit, without additional purchases.
Issue
Budgetary Limits
Acquiring the necessary increased computing capacity when budgets are restricted can be a difficult proposition. Organizations need to find ways of meeting increased demands while adapting to spending constraints.
Benefit
On-Demand Computing Resources
Flexible growth strategies like EGI’s “pay as you go” plans and on-demand capacity purchasing allow companies to add computing resources as the organization grows – a step at a time. Combined with strategic asset redeployment and consolidation, EGI can help you meet your needs in the most efficient way possible.
Issue
Datacenter Moves
When it comes time to relocate, reconfigure or realign enterprise datacenters, continuity of enterprise operations as well as asset safety and security can be major issues.
Benefit
