IT Infrastructure Optimization

True IT infrastructure optimization is proactive, not reactive.

Optimizing your IT infrastructure means more than just monitoring your IT infrastructure. ASG-PERFMAN collects both physical and virtual performance data across the enterprise and analyzes it automatically—making it easy to see where your problems are, where your opportunities lie, and to assess what needs to be done to capitalize on both.

Virtualization & Cloud Computing

While the promises of virtualization are great, many organizations are not prepared for the challenges that a virtualized data center present in managing the new environment. A virtualized data center is more complex and offers unique challenges not faced in the physical environment. Issues commonly faced include VM sprawl, poor capacity management, performance bottlenecks and difficulty pinpointing and resolving performance issues. In fact, virtualization may result in exactly the opposite of what was originally intended—too many relatively lightly used VMs causing the unnecessary consumption of server resources.

ASG-PERFMAN has developed a virtualization lifecycle management solution that eliminates these issues and ensures that both the physical and virtual infrastructure are performing at their optimal levels at all times. Based on ASG-PERFMAN’s decades of experience managing thousands of heterogeneous platforms for hundreds of clients around the globe, our approach starts before the first application is ever virtualized, and continues through the entire life cycle of systems management

ASG-PERFMAN also enables Green IT by giving organizations the visibility to optimize their data center. Whether through server consolidation and virtualization or better management of the existing IT infrastructure, ASG-PERFMAN can accurately measure and forecast the usage of servers that drive utilization. In fact, our clients have found that they see the benefits almost immediately.
