Data Center Customer Quotes
"Customers depend on our organization to provide high-availability connectivity ecosystems where they can build the best possible networking solutions for their businesses. We're excited to bring Aperture Configuration Management to the colocation market to provide the information and analysis we need to better optimize efficiency, plan and manage capacities, and improve availability for our customers." "We are a world-class operation with data centers that support intensive research operations and patient data that is needed around the clock. We needed a data center service management solution that would allow us to optimize our operations, mitigate any risks within them, and enable us to be ready to meet the organization's requirements." "We expect Vista 500 to help us by providing better access to configuration records when we are planning changes in our data centres. We want to maintain a pictorial plan for new installs, changes and removals, with easy access to this information for all who need it. It will also help us to identify the best place to position equipment to make best use of our space, cabling infrastructure and cooling. We're implementing now with the help of Aperture's consultants."
"Efficient auditing and management of a data centre facility of this size and complexity demands Aperture, a tool that is focused and dedicated to the task. It is vital that we extract maximum value from our data centers. Obviously we need our services to be resilient, reliable and cost-effective for end customers, but we must also fulfill compliance and regulatory obligations as well as enhancing our increasingly impressive green credentials."
"Having tighter control was central to our plans to open the UK data centre in 2003 and will play an important part in its expansion in March 2008. The process control has improved the quality and consistency of our installs. Before using Aperture VISTA, all our data was in spreadsheets. Aperture VISTA gives us a visual interface which makes it easy to search for and locate our equipment as well as making it much more intuitive. We've seen such an improvement in the UK through using Aperture VISTA that we're now beginning to populate our data centres in France with it."
"We are in the business of providing excellent patient care and therefore, it is critical our systems are always up and running. As our processing requirements increased exponentially in recent years, we needed advanced tools to track and manage the stresses on our data center. Aperture VISTA gives us the control we needed over our data center as well as a clear view into the physical aspects affecting its performance and an ability to respond to challenges as they arise."
"Two major challenges we faced were to ensure our data centers were cost, power and space effective, and to ensure that we had a good view of capacity to plan for the future. We knew we needed to implement a technology that would decipher the configuration management complexities of today's data centers; avoid operational errors and maintain the smooth running of our enterprise. The benefits of using Aperture's VISTA were immediately obvious. The technology encapsulates everything you learn about data center best practice."
"With the addition of Aperture to the growing family of BMC Atrium CMDB integrated solutions, we accelerate our customers' ability to comprehensively and efficiently plan, manage and optimize data center configuration changes. We look forward to working with Aperture to help our mutual customers realize the significant ROI of comprehensively integrating data center availability, performance, capacity and change management processes."
"Our data centers are absolutely essential to the delivery of clinical information to our hospitals and the critical need of this information to be on time and available, so in this area we only work with companies which we know and trust, such as Aperture. The foundation for managing the data center is based on the management of capacity: whether it's cooling, power, or space. Aperture VISTA Capacity Management will allow us to accurately and meticulously plan the growth and lifecycle of our data centers and all of its components while understanding the effects different scenarios have on future capacity. This will prevent downtime, ensure the longevity of our data centers, help us manage projects and save us money."
"Power and cooling are the two fundamental resources we must track and stay ahead of. Finding out you have a problem two months prior to having a problem is not soon enough. Capital planning and readiness takes nine to 18 months, so a system that gives us a trending method is a huge advantage for us."

"Enterprises are facing a period of rapid data center expansion as they and their customers create and store more rich content and make more copies of their data for decision support and improved application availability. Hard-pressed enterprises will need to maximize their use of current data center capacity by leveraging best practices and carefully managing data center infrastructure and architecture to avoid potential outages due to power and cooling capacity issues. While storage capacity expansion in current data centers is inevitable, improving or even maintaining data center availability will require a keen understanding of future storage trends so that proper planning for data center capacity growth can ensue."
"Aperture VISTA provides unparalleled visibility and management of data center elements and infrastructure. "This comprehensive database of over 30,000 data center objects, from power rails to racks, compliments our proven track record in operational planning and design. By bringing the knowledge and level of detail in Aperture VISTA together with our consulting capabilities, we will be able to grow our engineering services. We're extremely excited about this business partnership and look forward to working closely with the Aperture team."
"Having accurate, consistent and readily available knowledge of your data center inventory and what you have running where, together with your power, cooling and space capacity is not easy to achieve. VISTA will provide a central repository, so we can see this information both on a data center basis and globally. VISTA will also bring consistency to our processes for managing data centers. For anyone who needs to understand what is consuming resources in the data center, VISTA is an important tool."
"Sun is committed to providing our customers with the most efficient servers that deliver high performance and reliability while minimizing space, power and heat consumption. Our eco-responsibility and virtualization initiatives, including Project Blackbox, extend the value of Sun infrastructure to our customers - making them better corporate citizens while improving their bottom line. Aperture will empower enterprises to fully utilize the industry-leading efficiencies we build into our servers and create the most optimized configuration for their data centers that fits their business needs."
"There were definitely undocumented assets. When you have seven or eight teams managing the hardware, each using a different process, there was really no way to get a systemwide understanding of what we had in our various data centers."
"We found we had IT equipment on the floor that people within the company had thought we had gotten rid of years ago," he says. "We looked deeper and found out we were also still paying lease and maintenance on the equipment. We even found that we were paying lease and maintenance on equipment that been removed from our data centers."
"Fujitsu needs to ensure that its data centres are as efficient as they possibly can be to provide the best cost performance for our data centre customers. Aperture VISTA enables us to both fully exploit the resources available, and prove that we've done so. Building and equipping a data centre costs up to £70m - a major investment. We use VISTA to help ensure that we've sweated existing data centre assets to the full."
"Before deploying Aperture VISTA, we were using spreadsheets and data tables to record trends and enable predictive reporting. This was inaccurate, time consuming and prone to error. By using Aperture VISTA we are able to centralize information in a single data base which enables us to maintain accurate and reliable configuration information while enabling the better utilization of operational staff by freeing up valuable time."
"After seeing a demonstration of Aperture VISTA's capabilities, Unisys knew that managing the physical elements of the Government Transformation Center (GTC).
