“
The speed and ease with
which we can recover
using PlateSpin Forge
makes the solution
extremely attractive as
we look to improve our
recovery time and point
objectives across a broad
range of our server
workloads.
John Shaffer
Director of Technology
Greenhill & Co
“
“Managing our enterprise
data center means
keeping track of large
numbers of physical and
virtual servers and
continually monitoring
them to make sure we
minimize expenses and
maximize resource usage.
PlateSpin's capacity
planning and workload
profiling takes away all
the guesswork; I wouldn't
be able to do my job
without it.”
“
By using PlateSpin, we
were equipped with
irrefutable data and
analysis on our sprawling
and underutilized
infrastructure, we
identified the need to
completely rethink our
data center... reduce the
cost of our annual server
hardware refresh, as well
as slash our power
consumption, cooling
costs and carbon
emissions.
