Foglight Evolve Operate
Unlock hidden resources and reallocate computing power. Foglight Evolve Operate allows you to discover, monitor and redistribute existing computing power and resources to improve performance and avoid future costs. Automatically balance workloads across hosts and clusters, create and decommission VMs and remove waste with a few easy clicks. Make smarter buying decisions without underestimating or over-allocating.
Reclaim under-used resources
Understanding the capacity of your hybrid environment is critical to proper resource allocation and cost control. Foglight Evolve Operate gives you the information you need to plan your infrastructure while staying within budget. Historical trend analysis and change modeling let you know the impact of infrastructure changes before you make them, and accurately determine the IT resources you need now and in the future.
Key benefits
Optimize IT system performance without spending additional budget
Make better technology investment choices with your IT budget
Plan for future upgrades more confidently and avoid surprises
Capabilities
Optimize performance, maintain budget
No IT environment is without its share of zombie VMs, excess storage or other under-utilized resources that can be reallocated, reclaimed or retired. But with Foglight Evolve Operate, automatically identifying and reclaiming such under-used resources is easy with its graphical dashboard. Having this information at your fingertips will ensure you can optimize the performance of IT systems immediately – before you spend a single cent on new hardware!
Optimize workloads before migration
Even if you know which on-premises workloads you’re going to migrate to the cloud, optimizing them before the migration takes considerable investment in time and effort. But not with Foglight Evolve Operate. Use Consolidation Advisor to get intelligent recommendations on how to best deploy combined loads across existing servers. For some workloads, Foglight Evolve Operate allows you to optimize and migrate on the spot, taking the stress out of cloud migration, allowing you to migrate quickly and easily with confidence.
Budget more effectively
Sometimes it’s hard enough to know what IT resources you’ll need for the upcoming two quarters, much less the entire year. And that’s a real problem when it comes to requesting and allocating your budget. Foglight Evolve Operate simplifies this greatly by providing you with real-world, real-time data points and trends, presented in an easy-to-share graphic interface. This data ensures you’ll have a much clearer idea of what to budget for, resulting in more effective planning.
Avoid surprises after upgrades
Updating your most business-critical applications shouldn’t have to be a worrisome, disruptive process. But we all know that in real life, updates and patches typically lead to some unwelcome surprises. With Foglight Evolve Operate, however, you can accurately predict the impact of future infrastructure changes before you make them. This makes planning for future upgrades and expansions more predictable, so you’ll avoid the risk of unexpected performance issues or downtime.
