Syncsort's New Cloud Capabilities Address Growing Requirements for Capacity Management Across Increasingly Complex Hybrid Environments

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 littleor 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 (News - Alert) i.
