Case Study: Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena achieves higher server utilization, lower IT costs and reduced business risk with BMC Software TrueSight Capacity Optimization

Leading Italian bank MPS boosts IT resource utilization, cuts costs, and reduces business risk with strategic capacity optimization

Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS), one of the world’s oldest banks, needed to improve utilization of its distributed server environment to reduce IT costs and support timely delivery of digital services. Its capacity management team sought an accurate view of the server landscape and usage to safely rightsize resources without risking application performance.

By deploying BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization, the team aligned resources with business services and removed excess capacity. Average server utilization rose from 5% to 30% (a 500% increase), virtual machines were reduced and many physical servers decommissioned, and disk/storage needs fell by roughly 15%, lowering costs and business risk while maintaining application performance.
