Hyperformix, a market leader in solutions for IT capacity and performance, today announced important enhancements to the flagship products of its portfolio, Hyperformix Capacity Manager and Hyperformix Data Manager. These new releases provide unparalleled capabilities for capacity planning of virtualized environments and for communicating complex technology options to business users.

As organizations deploy virtualization to cut costs and streamline operations, it’s critical to make informed decisions to make optimal use of virtual resources. Most organizations lack the ability to foresee performance and capacity requirements, and so have no effective means to budget for IT support of business services, reduce IT costs or extend the value of current infrastructure.

“Hyperformix software answers questions that nobody else can about future performance, capacity, user experience and costs, so organizations can maximize the benefit they get from virtualization,” said Bruce Milne, Vice President of Products and Marketing for Hyperformix. “Our customers look to us to help them accurately plan and communicate what it will take to support business services in IT, and where cost saving opportunities exist. These releases deliver powerful new capabilities to model new and existing virtual environments and to increase the transparency of costs in IT.”

Capacity Manager 4.0 and Data Manager 3.1 deliver tremendous value for organizations:

• Extensive support for optimizing virtual machines and hosts helps cut costs and consolidate operations without compromising service quality. Automatically identifies underutilized virtual machines and safe consolidation candidates.
• Broad support for virtualization environments from VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, Sun, HP and IBM, in addition to the industry’s most comprehensive support for modeling hardware, OS and other components.
• Innovative reporting and automated dashboards engage business users and convey complex data in an interactive format, allowing users and IT stakeholders to quickly and intuitively identify cost saving opportunities. Business data such as hardware costs and power consumption can be correlated into reports for informed decisions.
• Solution kits help users successfully navigate common business problems such as server consolidations, new functionality rollouts or SAP upgrades.
