Keeping capacity costs as low as possible while delivering excellent service is complex. Common questions could be:

👉 Are there servers with too much or too little capacity?
👉 What are the primary bottlenecks and cost drivers on the mainframe?
👉 How do the mainframe and server environments interact from a capacity and performance perspective?

With ITBI we can analyze the performance and capacity data from a customer’s mainframe and server environment and recommend specific actions to reduce costs and improve service level.

Did you know that in a typical large IT installation, more than half of the servers are either idle or severely underutilized? 👀

Identifying the low hanging fruit – the expensive servers with low utilization – and rightsizing these servers typically results in savings of 10-30% – equating to millions of euros for a large IT installation.

ITBI for Servers is an advanced business intelligence analytics tool that allows customers to analyze and understand the data in order to reduce capacity-related costs, improve performance and improve availability, for example by identifying rightsizing potential.

Outsourced mainframe customers often lack transparency into how well their outsourcer is managing the mainframe capacity and performance relative to what is optimal for the customer. By asking a simple question like ‘How is the basis for invoicing calculated?’ can lead to a 10% lower invoice.

By using SMT Datas ITBI™ solution we analyze the performance and capacity data to ensure transparency between the outsourcer and the customer.
