Case Study: Fortune 500 Firm achieves 17% VM placement savings with Densify

Fortune 500 Firm - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Firm, a Fortune 500 banking and payment technology provider, was facing capacity risk in its virtualized infrastructure and had been over-provisioning hardware to compensate. It lacked visibility into each VM’s true resource requirements, which limited savings and would have made the challenge worse as it adopted its NextGEN cloud. Densify was brought in to address the issue.

Densify’s analytics showed the true infrastructure needs of each VM, allowing the company to change policy and densify the environment without adding operational risk. The result was 17% cost avoidance from improved strategic placements after 4 months, along with a better instance-to-asset ratio on the NextGEN platform and lower cabling, power, and cooling costs.
