Case Study: Metzler Bank achieves greater infrastructure efficiency and SLA protection with IBM Turbonomic

Metzler assures application performance and preserves client SLAs with IBM Turbonomic

Metzler Bank, one of the world’s oldest banks with a global infrastructure spanning Europe, Asia, and North America, needed better visibility and control over its VMware-based environment to meet rising resource demands from development teams. Working with IBM, the bank looked for a way to manage performance more effectively while avoiding unnecessary hardware purchases.

Metzler Bank implemented IBM Turbonomic Application Resource Management software to automate sizing decisions and vMotions across clusters. IBM helped the bank identify underutilized VMs, improve infrastructure efficiency, and maintain application performance and client SLAs; as a result, Metzler accommodated 10% VM growth without buying additional hardware and improved 24x7 performance assurance.
