Imagine trying to build and operate a factory without knowing how much your electricity costs per kilowatt or how much power you need on a day-to-day basis. It would be crazy to think you could actually manage your costs as your needs change over time. But this is how most companies manage their computing infrastructure today. They know how much they initially paid for it, but have virtually no insight into how much it costs to operate on an ongoing basis, or even how it’s being used.
For decades, most companies have been supplying their own computing resources. But, with recent advances in networking and computing technology, they’re now realizing there’s a more cost effective way to do business. Cloud and virtualization technologies provide a more efficient way to supply and consume those resources. But without a standard way of measuring computing resources, companies are unable to measure their cost of production, track resources or quantify and cost compare their data consumption needs.
We show you how, thanks to 6Fusion, there’s now a standard for computing resource consumption.
