New Release of Athene™ Handles Evolving
Enterprise-Wide Use Cases for Optimizing Workloads, On-Premise and
in the Cloud
Syncsort, the global leader in Big Iron to Big Data software,
today announced major enhancements to its Athene™ capacity
management software, including the addition of Athene™ Cloud. The
new cloud capabilities, and enhanced reporting and integration,
support the growing need to optimize workloads to meet service
performance objectives and control costs, both on-premise and in
the cloud.
The new release, part of the Syncsort Optimize family of
products, extends the ability to manage enterprise-wide workloads
to the cloud. For organizations without internal capacity
management teams, Syncsort now delivers Capacity
Management-as-a-Service for on-premise and cloud environments. The
new cloud capabilities enable organizations to easily scope
on-premise to cloud migrations and workload optimization for hybrid
cloud environments.
“With the trend toward creating new workloads and migrating
existing workloads to the hybrid cloud, organizations have an even
bigger challenge in avoiding running up big costs by
over-provisioning capacity and impacting performance,” said David
Hodgson, CPO, Syncsort. “Infrastructure and operations leaders
require a single capacity management solution for the enterprise
that contains costs and prevents performance issues by avoiding the
use of too little or too much capacity. The new capabilities in
Athene are focused on optimizing workloads for critical business
services, on-premise and in the cloud.”
The new release also features advanced, enterprise-wide
reporting and integration capabilities that help capacity managers
optimize workloads across more environments, including IBM i.
Key EnhancementsTo provide a more comprehensive view of
enterprise-wide service delivery and control costs in an
increasingly complex enterprise-wide environment, the new release
of Athene includes:
- Addition of Athene Cloud, a cloud-based
offering that eliminates the need to buy, install or maintain a
server, and managed services provided by Syncsort for organizations
without capacity management teams
- Enhanced monitoring and reporting,
including user-defined metrics, across multiple data centers,
on-premise and in the cloud, to improve enterprise-wide workload
optimization and cloud migrations
- Ability to integrate IBM i capacity and
performance data to an enterprise-wide service of key
infrastructure platforms like z/OS, VMware, Hyper-V, Unix, Linux,
SQL Server, HP, Oracle, IBM Tivoli, Windows, Exchange, OpenVMS
- Secure data transfer for hybrid cloud
architectures that meet critical PCI compliance requirements
