Successful data centre initiatives such as server consolidation and disaster recovery require considerable upfront planning and analysis to ensure a maximum return on investment. Previously, data centre managers had to rely on best guesses to identify underutilized or under-protected servers and allocate sufficient resources for current and future needs. PlateSpin PowerRecon is a powerful and sophisticated analysis and planning solution that takes the guesswork out of complex server consolidation, disaster recovery, capacity planning, asset management and green data centre initiatives.

PlateSpin PowerRecon provides new levels of intelligence, visual analysis and forecasting for optimizing the data center by collecting hardware, software and services inventory for all server workloads with absolutely no manual effort. PowerRecon remotely gathers workload utilization statistics for a clear and concise picture of the application services running in the data centre and how their resources are being used. PowerRecon supports the green data centre by allowing organizations to assess the potential cost savings in power, cooling and space that can be achieved through consolidation.

With broad support for today’s distributed, multi platform environments and unprecedented scalability to accommodate the world’s largest data centres, PowerRecon provides a true enterprise-scale workload profiling and planning solution. When combined with PlateSpin PowerConvert, organizations gain a complete end-to-end solution with tightly integrated planning and execution for data centre initiatives.
