Case Study: International Aviation IT Service Provider achieves 24/7 global uptime and major cost savings with Fortra's Vityl Capacity Management

IT Service Optimization at an International Aviation IT Service Provider

A wholly owned subsidiary of a major airline and one of Europe’s largest IT companies (1,300+ employees, ~€270M turnover) supports mission‑critical aviation systems with 26,000 workstations, 236 local networks and roughly 1,000 servers running 600+ applications 24/7. With weak economic conditions, tighter IT budgets and a rapidly growing, heterogeneous server estate, the provider needed to optimize capacity, avoid downtime and make smarter investment decisions.

They standardized on Vityl Capacity Management to monitor web, application and database tiers across mainframes and ~350 UNIX/Windows servers, supply monthly capacity reports and highlight bottlenecks. The platform‑independent solution improved error detection and planning, enabled consolidation, reduced hardware and operating costs, and today helps keep services running continuously while supporting the full global environment.
