IT infrastructure is crucial to today's enterprises and businesses, and any performance degradation on the IT infrastructure directly impacts the delivery of business services and hence the bottom line. ROI benefits are achieved by driving or ensuring additional revenues, and achieving cost savings from optimizing resource utilization. In a study by IDC research, the average payback period for a product such as Traverse is about 3-4 months and an ROI of approximately 700% can be realized over a 3 year time period. Typical annual cost savings were over $5M in the sample customer base used for the research.
There are several features in Traverse that drive rapid ROI returns for our customers, but more importantly, they help identify and determine the business impact of IT outages and poor infrastructure performance on business services.
Traverse enables IT organizations to meet service level commitments and ensure IT is an integral part of the business planning process
Traverse increases service availability by reducing recovery time and more effectively resolving root causes of system and application problems
Traverse increases the efficiency of your IT organization via a single, centralized and flexible solution that is easy to deploy and use.
Proactive Management - Prevent Downtime
Traverse stores performance data for several years, and then uses that data for trend analysis and for calculating the number of days to reach key thresholds. This proactive management avoids costly downtime.
End-to-End Service Views - User Satisfaction
Traverse's Business Container technology shows the performance of services from an end user's perspective and not as isolated silos. This enables monitoring of infrastructure from a point of view that is focussed on maximizing end user satisfaction.
Under Utilized Resources
Traverse's capacity planning reports can help highlight underutilized resources, and thus allows you to distribute your services across this infrastructure instead of purchasing additional resources.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Minimization
All of Traverse's features are focussed on lower TCO for our customers. These TCO benefits come from:
Easy to use web UI
Size controlled databases does not require any DBAs for maintenance
2-step device add feature with preset thresholds
Auto-baseline feature to adjust thresholds with minimum operator intervention
You can deploy and be fully operational with Traverse's auto-discovery and provisioning features within a few hours, and most large customer deployments of Traverse have less than one FTE (full time engineer) dedicated to running the application.
