Case Study: One of the Largest U.S. Health Insurers achieves major time and cost savings with Fortra's Vityl Capacity Management

Large Health Insurer Abandons Buy More Hardware Policy, Saves Time & Money

One of the largest health insurers in the U.S. faced a costly, unsustainable "Buy More Hardware" approach because its IT team lacked reliable visibility into a heterogeneous mix of physical and virtual systems. Engineers relied on native Unix tools and brittle scripts, with performance data scattered across formats and locations, forcing time-consuming manual troubleshooting and heavy overprovisioning to avoid service impact.

The company deployed Vityl Capacity Management as a Capacity Management Information System, quickly installing agents across QA and production to consolidate and analyze performance data. The solution surfaced hidden Oracle and WebSphere issues, enabled automated alerting and ticketing, and supported proactive remediation. As a result the insurer expanded coverage to 350 physical and 650 virtual servers, reclaimed about four hours per day per administrator, resolved spikes before they affected users, and reduced unnecessary hardware spend.
