EMC’s Consulting Business Intelligence for Infrastructure puts in place a business intelligence system that extends your infrastructure reporting and management systems. We add the ability to perform key performance indicator (KPI) reporting, analytics, and alerting of infrastructure performance and capacity.

Optimizing and maintaining the proper balance of equipment, planning new purchases, and determining when to consolidate, virtualize, or migrate requires the analysis of vital infrastructure, server, application, networking, performance, and inventory data. Unfortunately, inconsistency in the level of details provided by typical infrastructure monitoring and reporting systems hinders the ability to make accurate, timely decisions.

Using Microsoft SQL Server and PerformancePoint Server, EMC Consulting integrates capacity-planning data with inventory-performance data from your heterogeneous infrastructure. We create a multidimensional “cube” to analyze performance and capacity data over time. We add KPI-based trend analysis and forecasting capabilities that measure data collected against your business goals.

You’ll be able to view data in a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server-based dashboard that will allow you to identify an issue at a glance, drill down into the problem to ascertain a root cause, and spot trends.

EMC Consulting improves decision-making with real-time visibility into your infrastructure. We help you:

• Proactively identify issues
• View combined heterogeneous infrastructure, servers, applications, and networking inventory with performance metrics
• Increase productivity as the system eliminates wasted time and cleans up incomplete and poor data
• Better allocate infrastructure to business units
• Receive outage notifications immediately
• Make faster decisions with accurate, up-to-date information
