Planning and managing IT infrastructure resource usage and costs has become more and more complex, as technologies such as cloud services and containers require IT organizations to have better insight, since they may not own the physical assets on which the technologies are run. Without the proper insight into resource usage and performance, it’s easy to waste resources, overspend, and experience application failures due to infrastructure constraints.

Enter BMC’s TrueSight Capacity Optimization, which provides visibility into the entire IT infrastructure—physical, virtual, containers, and cloud—so IT can easily add, remove, or adjust compute, storage, network, and other IT infrastructure resources to meet changing application and service demands. Service views, forecasting, modeling, and reservation capabilities provide the insight for future resource needs and the ability to control the timing and cost of new capital and operating expenditures.

Below is the definitive list of user reviews, analyst reports, and customer stories to assist in your evaluation of TrueSight Capacity Optimization as the premier solution for your organization’s resource utilization and optimization needs.
