Case Study: Rent-A-Center achieves unified private cloud visibility and $600,000 in recovered infrastructure resources with Blue Medora

Rent-A-Center Clears Private Cloud Visibility Issues with Blue Medora

Rent-a-Center, a large retail company with more than 3,000 stores, struggled to monitor a decentralized IT environment made up of servers, switches, storage, and other infrastructure spread across multiple tools. The company needed a way to centralize operations management beyond VMware and gain visibility into hardware and physical dependencies, so it turned to Blue Medora and its True Visibility Suite for VMware vRealize Operations.

Blue Medora’s solution brought Cisco, HPE, NetApp, SAP HANA, and other infrastructure metrics into a single pane of glass within vRealize Operations, along with relationship mapping and capacity planning. The result was faster root-cause analysis, better provisioning, and recovery of 15–20% of deployed infrastructure resources, worth about $600,000 for Rent-a-Center.
