“One of our suppliers introduced us to EasyVirt. What initially appealed to us was the possibility of having a simple capacity planning and troubleshooting solution that was independent of the virtualisation solution provider.
The first need covered by DC Scope® was the analysis of virtual machine activity in order to improve the use of our virtualisation platforms and thus improve capacity planning.
DC Scope® was particularly useful in helping us to efficiently size new virtualisation infrastructures as part of the outsourcing of our data centres.
Overall, we gained 10% on CPU and RAM resources. Another attractive feature is that DC Scope® enabled us to balance loads and allocate CPU and RAM power where it was really needed.
Ultimately, after migration (and resource readjustment), users noticed a significant performance gain. This proves that the rebalancing was successful.
We also use DC Scope® to analyse the activity of our virtual machines. The solution allows us to allocate the resources that are really necessary and thus rationalise the use of our ESXi platforms.
There are many advantages: the ‘Graph on demand’ feature also allows us to detect errors or clear the virtualisation infrastructure in the event of a problem.
What we particularly appreciate about DC Scope® is its ease of implementation, the ability to filter views for a more detailed analysis of the infrastructure that makes up an application, for example, and its value for money.
DC Scope® is a very comprehensive solution that meets our needs well, and the EasyVirt teams are available and close to us. They really listen to our expectations. To take the solution further, we wanted DC Scope® to be compatible with our XenServer fleet and to have a little more alerting. EasyVirt took our needs into consideration and has just incorporated our request into their roadmap.
In conclusion, we highly recommend the solution. The installation and implementation of DC Scope® by our team has been a success, and the feedback has been very positive for our infrastructure.
