PlateSpin PowerRecon Virtual Infrastructure Edition addresses two key areas of virtual infrastructure management. With powerful new chargeback and virtual machine growth reporting features, PowerRecon automatically converts IT resource usage data into billable values over set time periods and delivers chargeback reports to business units. VM growth reports help organizations control the expansion of virtual machines and avoid virtual sprawl.
The cost savings and environmental benefits of virtualization are closely aligned. By consolidating servers into more energy-efficient virtual machine hosts or blade servers, organizations can retire old, power-hungry hardware and optimize underutilized servers to achieve significant savings in space, power and cooling requirements. PowerRecon makes the green data center a reality by allowing organizations to assess the potential cost savings in power, cooling and space that can be achieved through consolidation.
