Infrastructure Cost Actions

Turn capacity evidence into controlled infrastructure decisions.

SmartC calculates. People approve consequential infrastructure actions.

Rightsize
Align workload resources with demand.
Rebalance
Move workloads where capacity is better used.
Consolidate
Reduce unnecessary hosts, clusters, or environments.
Plan or defer expansion
Use forecasts before adding or refreshing infrastructure.

Move workloads where capacity is better used.

Before You Act

What to know before optimizing infrastructure costs.

What infrastructure is included?
On-premises and private infrastructure such as hosts, clusters, virtual machines, storage, networks, and supporting data center capacity.
How are rightsizing opportunities found?
Compare allocated CPU, memory, and storage with actual workload requirements and historical demand.
How is unused capacity reclaimed?
Review oversized and idle workloads, host utilization, cluster density, and capacity available after optimization.
How are future requirements planned?
Use historical utilization, business growth, forecasts, and what-if simulations.
Does this replace IT Asset Cost Optimization?
No. IT Asset Cost Optimization manages individual physical-asset lifecycle decisions; this product optimizes shared infrastructure capacity and workload resources.
Does this replace Cloud Cost Optimization?
No. Cloud Cost Optimization focuses on public-cloud billing and consumption; this page focuses on on-premises and private infrastructure capacity and cost.
