Managing IT Workload Performance to Meet Business Needs: Predicting
the Impact of Growth and Change
The alignment of business with IT remains a top priority for enterprises. IT departments must deliver and support the applications and data that provide key business functions. IT must also be capable of providing the levels of service required by lines of business in terms of application performance and availability under realistic operating conditions. IT departments are expected to address these challenges on a daily operational basis, as well as proactively assess requirements to meet evolving needs as the business grows and changes. IT is often in a situation of day-to-day firefighting, without the tools or resources to understand the big picture in terms of the business services being delivered to end users and the impact of growth and change on the performance of these services.
This paper examines how workload performance analysis and predictive modeling capabilities can be used in understanding and managing the performance of enterprise systems and applications, and how this approach benefits business executives, line-of-business (LOB) managers, and IT management alike. This paper also discusses the BEZVision™ software suite for performance management of business workloads offered by BEZ Systems, an independent software vendor.

Optimize Resources to meet Business Goals
Abstract: The introduction of dynamic operating environments through the application of Utility computing technologies poses special problems in assuring optimal allocation of resources to assure the consistent reliable delivery of business services. IT services directly link to the achievement of business goals. The complexity of the relationships, interactions, and interdependencies between resources and operations required to deliver services requires automated management tools. Dynamically changing resource allocations place unique demands on planning and management in order to balance current demands with the achievement of business performance goals. This paper provides a discussion about the unique challenges of managing the allocation of resources in a dynamic changing operating environment. BEZProphet™ from BEZ Systems provides an example of a solution designed to address these challenges.
