Monster.com Saves Through Resource Consolidation

Challenge:

  • Insufficient visibility into application contention across storage and servers
  • Uncertainty in ability to meet service level objectives

The Manual Response:

  • Several hardware utilities & management tools run periodically
  • 2 hours to stage, monitor, & collect
  • 3 hours of analysis each day in review
  • Needing clear visibility into application contention and linked hardware hot spots
  •  Akorri Complements Monster.com’s Existing Software Products
    Mercury BAC, NetIQ, Nagios, Navisphere
    No cross-domain analysis – only silo infrastructure analysis
  • Snapshot views gave inaccurate assurance, no time series impact analysis
  • 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
