App Resource Optimization
Eddie is the Director of Tech Infrastructure Operations and owns the migration of the eCommerce application from on-premise datacenter into the cloud. This project is estimated to save over $350k per year in infrastructure costs. With the exponential increase in load due to the pandemic, Eddie has to find a delicate balance of right-sizing his cloud infrastructure while continuing to keep the application running at an optimal level.
Current situation
Correctly sizing environments is challenging as the load conditions are elastic by nature such that even the benefits of moving to the cloud can be jeopardized by excessive cost due to unproperly provisioned infrastructure.
Cisco’s FSO - Optimization
Cisco’s FSO Optimization is based on Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO) that utilizes actionable data generated by AppDynamics to decide the infrastructure changes needed for your application to run at peak performance.
AppDynamics also measures the impact those changes had in the application’s performance and generates additional actionable data as needed effectively closing a tight feedback loop that enables a continously optimized operation.
Why should Eddie care?
Although peak performance is critical for any business it is not what makes up the business bottom line (it doesn’t matter that you have the best performance possible if your product doesn’t sell) so the less time, money and effort invested in optimizing performance, the more resources available to invest in growing the business and gaining market share.
