Managing and Optimizing YourData Center with
PlateSpin Solutions
6
Datacenter is full of inflexible platforms

• Workloads cannot be easily re-hosted across
  platform boundaries

7
Workloads and Resources operate unbalanced

• Servers with many resources are handling small
  workloads(under-utilization/wastage)
• Servers with small resources are handling large
  workloads(over-utilization/risk)

8
If you could

• Measure workloads and resources effectively
• Move workloads easily in your datacenter, then
• You could optimize resource supply and workload
  demand saving money and reducing risk

Large Resource Supply
Small Resource Supply
Small Workload Demand
Large Workload Demand
BALANCE BETWEEN WORKLOAD DEMAND AND RESOURCE
SUPPLY

Workload Profiling(Cornerstone Technology)

• The workload profile captures information about
  the encapsulated data, applications and operating
  systems residing on a physical or virtual host to
  raise awareness of state of business services in
  the data center

10
Workload Portability(Cornerstone Technology)

• Workload Portability enables server workloads to
  be migrated within and across different data
  center infrastructures to increase flexibility
  overall
