Cost Efficiency
Uncover Untapped Systems Resources
Scenario: IT departments facing flat or reduced budgets in 2021 must identify all available resources—on premises or in the cloud—determine what is being used, what is no longer needed, and how to extract the most value from current investments.
Solution: BMC Helix Optimize uses Machine learning to identify infrastructure and virtual machines and storage sitting idle on premises and uncovers unused cloud resources enabling IT to allocate untapped resources for future projects—while avoiding additional infrastructure investment.

Strategize for App Demand Spikes
Scenario: An upcoming event (think Black Friday or Super Bowl Sunday) is guaranteed to attract myriad customers to the website and put pressure on apps to perform. IT must ensure the underlying server, network, and storage resources can withstand the spike in demand—without overprovisioning or overspending—and guarantee optimal performance.
Solution: BMC Helix Optimize uses modeling algorithms and business KPIs to forecast what IT resources are needed to support the increased customer demand. Advanced analytics predict potential bottlenecks or budget over-runs so they can be addressed in time.
SolutionWFH Network Capacity Failover
Enable WFH Employee Productivity
Scenario: Global events have IT leaders planning for a large percentage of employees working exclusively from home, tapping into network resources at unprecedented rates. Video conferencing apps fail and collaboration tools stall as the environment wasn't designed for the remote workforce. IT managers must ensure network bandwidth and VPN access will enable productive, secure employees.
Solution: BMC Helix Optimize analyzes capacity use, plans, and models for remote workforce, and measures network response to new virtual workforce conditions. IT managers can balance existing investments and plan for additional network bandwidth and server resources based on user workload demands and business continuity requirements.

Cloud Migration
Maximize the Move to the Cloud
Cloud Migration
Maximize the Move to the Cloud
Scenario: The business is accelerating its cloud strategy. IT leaders want to understand the cost of cloud resources before migrating. That means IT must identify the workloads and apps that would benefit from being located in the cloud, the resources required, and the configuration needed—before purchasing cloud resources.
Solution: BMC Helix Optimize uses intelligent modeling to help IT managers visualize how specific workloads would benefit staying on premises while others would be more suited to the cloud—all while considering the associated cost and performance for each option.
SolutionManaging Cloud Budgets
Avoid Unexpected Cloud Costs
Scenario: Cloud buyers such as application development teams are often unaware of the costs associated with their cloud use, causing them to exceed budget and the business to incur unexpected costs. The business is surprised by unexpected expenses, and the team is uncertain how to account for cloud usage or what apps or business services are using them.
Solution: BMC Helix Optimize assesses the available cloud resources, provides automated recommendations for right-sizing or terminating them, and will even automatically take the recommended action. IT managers and business owners see workloads that would benefit from power schedules, receive automated alerts to avoid overspending and budget overruns, and are able to better manage reserved instances.
