Case Study: Leading International Clearing House achieves over £1,000,000 cost avoidance in six months with Fortra Vityl Capacity Management

Leading International Clearing House Achieves Cost Avoidance of More Than £1,000,000 in Just Six Months

This global clearing house, which supports major exchanges and OTC markets and runs hundreds of UNIX/Windows servers with nearly 1,000 VMs, needed to reduce costs and eliminate siloed decision-making while ensuring faultless, high‑performance service. The newly appointed capacity planner formed a cross‑silo capacity management group and sought an ITIL‑aligned tool to standardize reporting, free administrator time, and demonstrate clear business value.

They implemented Vityl Capacity Management across the entire IT estate in about a month, automating metric collection and virtual‑machine reporting and enabling shared, data‑driven decisions. The tool paid for itself within a quarter, saved an estimated £400,000 in the first three months (and more than £1,000,000 in cost avoidance in six months), eliminated manual reporting work, and improved ROI and support for the organization’s virtualization strategy.
