Platform

IT organizations today are under tremendous pressure to deliver on cost reduction strategies while creating flexible and adaptable infrastructures that support next-generation application strategies such as SOA, enterprise Web 2.0, cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS).

However, many times IT is constrained from taking action due to one or more inhibitors:

• Disproportionately high IT costs due to data center inefficiencies
• Challenges meeting business demand within budget constraints
• Constraints that can impede IT's response to changing business conditions or new requirements
• Insufficient investment in innovation

Dynamic Application Service Management (DASM) addresses the operational and cost inhibitors listed above by enabling:

• Just-in-time deployment, scaling, metering and management of enterprise applications
• Rapid and incremental adoption to drive immediate ROI and to mitigate risk
• Reporting on application service levels, cost, utilization and performance, providing critical visibility across the entire shared infrastructure

Unified Process for Automating Application Service Management and Performance Optimization

To address the definition and enforcement of application service levels, enable business / IT alignment and cost-cutting priorities, the DataSynapse platform for DASM provides business policy driven application service management and execution.
