Vantage return on investment
Vantage continuously monitors application performance, alerts you to problems before end users are affected and reports on performance trends over time. Using Vantage, you can resolve performance issues proactively and tune application performance to improve response times and reduce infrastructure costs.
The return on investment for Vantage is significant. The savings include:
Greatly reduced troubleshooting time. Application performance issues frequently go unresolved for days, weeks or months while the technical staff plays the "not me" finger-pointing game. Much time is wasted in analysis and meetings as you try to identify the real cause of the problem. This can involve technical staff from network, server, database, applications, mainframe and even business units. With Vantage, the problems that use to take you hours, days or weeks to diagnose can be pinpointed within an hour. That means the right technical group can take ownership to solve the problem, and you don't waste precious technical resources.
Reduced infrastructure costs. In the past, Operations only recourse with poor-performing applications was to throw more money (equipment) at the problem. Network bottleneck: Add more bandwidth. Too much time on the server(s): Upgrade to faster machines. Vantage helps you delay upgrades and reclaim infrastructure costs in the following ways:
| |
By monitoring application use and understanding utilization in relationship to your key business applications, you can get rid of unnecessary traffic and make appropriate trade-off decisions for bandwidth costs vs. performance. You can even charge back bandwidth consumption by application or user groups. For new application deployments, Vantage helps optimize applications and forecasts the right bandwidth needed to support the application service levels by location. |

- Server "right sizing" balances cost and performance. Whether it be a full server consolidation project or upgrade cost avoidance, Vantage provides the critical metrics for smart decisions. Application optimization can also play an important role in limiting resource consumption. Vantage can pinpoint which areas of the code could be modified to greatly reduce processing time and increase response times.

Improved service to the business. Proactive application service management results in better service to the business. Attacking and solving performance issues before users complain or applications fail improves productivity and serves customers better. Planning ahead for new applications, optimizing the code, establishing achievable service levels and linking costs to the business clearly demonstrate the value of IT to the business.
