BMC Software is introducing the TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10 solution to extend its current cloud capabilities to the OpenStack platform and to help align IT infrastructure needs with business priorities.
"Businesses are struggling to understand the dynamics of performance within the cloud and need cost-effective and agile solutions to better manage IT infrastructure,” said Tim Grieser, Program VP, Enterprise Systems Management Software at IDC. “With the addition of OpenStack cloud support, BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization extends its support for physical and virtual environments and provides a level of overall visibility that allows enterprises to cost effectively leverage cloud resources and tie recommendations directly to business outcomes.”
The BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization solution uses advanced analytics to define the most agile, cost-effective IT architecture based on business goals, capacity usage patterns, predicted growth and planned projects. IT can now expertly manage capacity across all compute environments -- physical, virtual, and cloud including data center resources like storage, network and database.
Key new features in TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10 include:
- Full-stack Cloud Capacity Management – Visibility has been extended to OpenStack-based private and hybrid clouds to give IT a better grasp on when and where to leverage cloud technology.
- Reservation Analytics – Reservation analytics prevents over commitment of reserved resources allowing IT to more accurately plan provisioning and reservations and aligning to expected business growth and new business demand.
“As the hype around technologies such as cloud and virtualization fades, IT is faced with the grim reality of delivering on its promise of agility, staff efficiencies and cost effectiveness,” said Bill Berutti, President of the Performance and Availability Business at BMC. “TrueSight Capacity Optimization helps IT live up to these promises by moving to a proactive approach that helps optimize existing data center assets by improving utilization rates, eliminating the risk of outages and preserving capital budgets. This allows cost savings to be tapped by the business to fund new and innovative digital services.”

Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans.

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another. The original plan said three weeks. "We didn't switch vendors," she told me. "We rebuilt half our integrations and discovered what we'd actually been depending on." Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
