CareGroup Healthcare System Ensures App Performance While Increasing Utilization and Service Levels

Challenge:

• Needed entire performance story about applications running on shared infrastructure to do service level capacity planning
• Needed to understand "performance utilization" to support capacity expansion and tiered storage strategy

BalancePoint Analysis and Recommendations:

• Akorri Complements CareGroup’s Existing Software Products CA eHealth, Onaro, Symantec i3, EMC Smarts, ECC Symm Optimizer, ECC Workload Analyzer

  Provides an index of how heavily utilized the infrastructure is from a performance viewpoint, across the full data tier, to identify the resources that may be constrained with growth, to avoid over/under investment in key areas
• Ensures migration of data from Tier 1 to Tier 2 resources are done while maintaining SLAs and continued headroom
• Over-provisioning undertaken to reduce risk of lack of “true picture”

Akorri Solution & Results:

• BalancePoint™ enabled resource consolidation, significant cost savings and delay in purchasing additional costly tool.
• Only took one hour install and two hours training, same day visibility and value
