How to save 10% on CPU & RAM resources
One of our providers introduced us to EasyVirt. What first appealed to us was the opportunity to use a simple capacity planning and troubleshooting solution that was independent of the virtualisation software vendor.
The first need met by DC Scope® was the analysis of virtual machine activity, which helped us make better use of our virtualisation platforms and improve capacity planning.
DC Scope® proved especially useful in effectively sizing the new virtualisation infrastructures as part of our datacentre outsourcing strategy.
Overall, we achieved a 10% saving on CPU & RAM resources. What’s also attractive is that DC Scope® enabled us to balance workloads and allocate CPU and RAM power where it was truly needed.
Ultimately, after the migration (and the adjustment of resources), users noticed a significant performance improvement, confirming the success of the rebalancing process.
We also use DC Scope® to analyse the activity of our virtual machines. The solution makes it possible to allocate only the truly necessary resources, helping to optimise the use of our ESXi platforms.
The benefits are numerous. The « Graph on demand » feature also allows us to detect errors or clear the virtualisation infrastructure of blame in the event of an issue.
What we particularly appreciate about DC Scope® is its ease of deployment, the ability to filter views for more detailed analysis of the infrastructure supporting an application, for example, and its excellent value for money.
DC Scope® is a very comprehensive solution that meets our needs well. The EasyVirt teams are responsive and accessible, and they really listen to our expectations. To go further with the solution, we wanted DC Scope® to be compatible with our XenServer environment and to include more alerting options. EasyVirt took this on board and have now included our request in their roadmap.
In conclusion, we highly recommend the solution. The installation and onboarding of DC Scope® by our team have been a success, and the insights it provides are extremely valuable for our infrastructure.
