Case Study: ASPERA achieves rapid license compliance and software optimization with iQuate and Aspera

ASPERA - Customer Case Study

ASPERA, working with iQuate, faced the challenge of understanding and controlling software licensing in a highly complex data center environment. With changing virtualization and multi-core licensing rules, and no deployment monitoring for 2.5 years, the company was relying on error-prone spreadsheets and needed a clearer view of its Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and VMware estate. iQuate’s iQSonar discovery and dependency mapping solution, paired with Aspera’s SmartTrack SAM platform, was used to address the issue.

iQuate helped scan more than 3,000 servers in 14 days and delivered a detailed, accurate report that Microsoft accepted as complete. This enabled ASPERA to get its estate in order before an audit, avoid potentially significant costs, and achieve ROI in less than 21 days. The combined iQuate and Aspera solution is now being used to support a proactive software optimization strategy across the datacenter.
