Akorri announced that Vancouver Coastal Health has implemented its flagship BalancePoint management solution to ensure success of the company's data center virtualization and consolidation efforts. Using BalancePoint, Vancouver Coastal Health was able to continually increase the density of its data center while improving storage utilization and maintaining optimal service levels.

"With no room to build another data center or to add more servers, virtualization was key for us to keep up with capacity demands. However, as soon as we began virtualizing applications, we experienced intermittent performance issues with no clear visibility into root cause. We looked for management solutions with cross-domain knowledge between virtualization, physical servers and storage, and found only Akorri BalancePoint," said Ben Haley, Regional Supervisor, Information Management Information Systems, Vancouver Coastal Health – Providence Health Care. "BalancePoint has allowed us to consolidate our data center with confidence, ensure our continued success in our virtualization initiative, and improve storage utilization - all while maintaining the best levels of service for our organization. Now we are looking to BalancePoint to not only aide in planning for future capacity but to manage performance in a number of our environments as we continue to look for ways to consolidate and virtualize."

"We are thrilled we were able to give Vancouver Coastal Health the tool it needed through Akorri BalancePoint to help ensure high performance in its virtualized environment," said Dan Sottile, senior vice president of Long View Systems, a North American IT services and solutions organization and a leader in delivering IT infrastructure and virtualization solutions. "We are committed to ensuring clients get the best solution for their needs, and have complete confidence that Akorri provides this solution."

"As a government agency Vancouver Coastal Health has to ensure operational excellence with its IT infrastructure choices," said Tom Joyce, President and CEO of Akorri. "With BalancePoint, they have made the best possible investment to maintain this level of service and also support important data center efforts such as ITIL and Green IT. There is no other solution that comes close - comprehensively managing and optimizing performance in virtualized environments the way BalancePoint does."
