Agility Planner
Enterprises can use Agility Planner to quickly evaluate existing and newly requested workloads and determine their suitability for deployment as services or in the cloud. Planner uses your existing application, server, and infrastructure information (from standard information sources like CMDBs) to:
- Analyze, classify, and score each workload according to a programmable criteria set
- Generate Cloud Readiness™ and Cloud Value™ scores
These two metrics identify workloads that are best suited for deployment in cloud environments, and allow planners and architects to prioritize migration activities and the development of new application stacks. Also, Planner recommends which deployment environments and virtual machine image types are most appropriate for each workload by automatically comparing workload needs to leading market offerings. In addition to identifying top priorities for migration or development, Planner helps IT managers quickly eliminate applications that are unsuitable for migration.
