Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer

CIWO

Infrastructure and applications are getting more complex and distributed by the minute. The result is a dizzying array of monitoring, orchestration, and management solutions that still can’t seem to ensure workload performance.So what if your data center had a brain that could continuously analyze workload consumption, costs, and compliance constraints—and automatically allocate resources in real-time?For IT teams that are challenged with performance, efficiency, and compliance issues, Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO) is a decision automation engine that provides applications with the exact resources you need at the right time and in accordance with business policies. This frees your staff from the day-to-day management of infrastructure and resource availability and gives IT teams time back to drive innovation for the business.Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO) extends the capabilities of Cisco Intersight well beyond just Cisco servers and hyper-converged infrastructure. It provides greater insights and decision automation across the entire hardware and software stack. Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer is truly an intelligent hybrid cloud resource management solution to help you reduce costs while ensuring SLAs. It helps bridge the gap between applications and infrastructure to ensure application performance. You can seamlessly optimize resource management across virtual resources, applications, public cloud, and a broad third-party ecosystem. IWO gives teams the ability to better collaborate and take strategic actions.

Optimization Based on AI-assisted AnalyticsCisco Intersight Workload Optimizer is part of Cisco Intersight, a management platform that offers monitoring, policy management, hardware and software deployments, and IT operations automation in a single SaaS solution. As with all cloud-delivered solutions, it takes away the trouble of maintaining the software itself (setup, monitoring, upgrades, etc.) and provides full lifecycle management of the IT environment from anywhere – even from a mobile phone!Intersight Workload Optimizer works with AppDynamics, Cisco’s application monitoring toolset, to further enhance and connect insights to the end-user experience and business outcomes. AppDynamics baselines application and business performance and identifies and flags changes in application performance that are the result of underlying resources constraints. This information is then shared with Workload Optimizer so that the software can make informed resourcing decisions and adjustments, enabling IT teams to:

Avoid application performance issues with a unified view of infrastructure and applications and continuous, automated, analytics-powered infrastructure optimization that dynamically right-sizes resources to application demands, before IT staff and users experience a bottleneck

Continuously optimize critical IT resources, resulting in more efficient use of existing infrastructure and lower operational costs for both on-premises and in public clouds

Take the guesswork out of planning for the future with the ability to quickly model what-if scenarios – based on the real-time environment – to accurately forecast capacity needs.
