How to Identify Trends, Maximize Spend and Reclaim Waste in your Big Data Cluster  

IT spending in 2018 in North America was estimated by Gartner to be $1.23 trillion. In today’s continuously competitive environment, enterprises need to make these investments count. Operations needs to make informed purchasing decisions to ensure they are optimizing infrastructure resources and continually improving application performance. Last week we unveiled Pepperdata 360° Reports, designed to help them do just that.

Leveraging the hundreds of metrics we continually collect, Pepperdata correlates this data into reports that can be used for capacity planning, chargeback and resource management. Our customers use Pepperdata 360° Reports to understand what they’re spending, uncover where wasted capacity can be reclaimed, and learn where adjustments can be made to save money, maximize capacity and improve application performance. Following are five 360° Reports available with Pepperdata Platform Spotlight.
