Organizations are increasingly moving to a utility based platform for providing IT services, creating the need for a flexible usage chargeback model. In the past it was simple to bill departments for the cost of purchasing and maintaining their own servers, but with the trend towards consolidating multiple applications onto a single server, and a number of departments sharing server resource, chargeback becomes more problematic.
Enable utility-based chargeback with SmartPeak WLM Reporting Module
SmartPeak WLM enables utility-based chargeback in a consolidated environment by analyzing system resource utilization. Reports can be obtained for the overall use of CPU and memory, in addition to comprehensive reports on the consumption of resources by given applications or users.
- Determine overall usage on an application/user basis
- Analyze resource load over desired time period
- Drill down to identify users and application resource loads
Analyze overall consumption of resources for capacity planning
Identify which applications may need migrating to more powerful servers, which desktops and servers require upgrading, and where spare capacity is available in your infrastructure.
