Cloud migration also includes concerns about costs. Traditional IT has not focused as much on reducing the consumption of resources since the datacenter was related to operating expenditures (capex) and servers were already bought. With the cloud, new best practices need to be implemented.
ProActive from Activeeon includes a Resource Manager which enables more control and visibility over the consumption of computing capacity. It is now possible to identify wastes and setup smart processes.
Activeeon’s solution includes features relevant for this purpose such as:
- A resource monitoring system to understand the consumption of resources
- Smart elastic policies which fetches new resources when the load increases and releases them when it is finished
In the journey to digital transformation, optimizing resource consumption is key to reduce the overall TCO (total cost of ownership) while taking advantage from the cloud opportunity.
