Start-stop automation for servers - efficient, sustainable, flexible

Customer requirement

A company planned the cloud migration of its test infrastructure in order to use server resources flexibly and efficiently. The aim was to use server capacity as needed - to reduce costs, comply with internal guidelines and reduce energy consumption.

Challenge

Complex, hybrid infrastructures with many dependencies between applications and services made automation difficult. At the same time, central control and compliance had to be guaranteed.

Project highlights

Energy and cost savings through demand-driven utilization
Automated control based on schedules & loads
Reduced resource consumption & susceptibility to errors
Integration into hybrid cloud environments

SPIRIT/21 solution

SPIRIT/21 implemented an automation platform that intelligently controls server-based actions based on schedules or load trends. Self-services enable individual configurations, and integration in cloud environments rounds off the solution.
