The Challenge
With more than 9,000 devices and complex infrastructure comprised of virtualization technologies such as VMware, Hyper-V and RedHat KVM, the company prioritized a solution which would help it manage its software estate and associated licensing lifecycle management. There were already some utilities in place, so a complementary solution was needed which would protect existing investments and deliver all the benefits of an advanced SAM (Software Asset Management) program at an enterprise level.
The Solution
Given the complex nature of the estate, POCs (Proof of Concept) were conducted covering Certero for Enterprise SAM, Certero for Oracle and Certero for IBM, with the express objective of capturing a complete and accurate inventory of the hardware and software estate. This highlighted several positives including ease of configuration and high levels of automation. At the same time the Certero team impressed with their flexible and responsive approach.
“Certero’s products are easy and quick to deploy. We now have full visibility of all software deployed across all our systems – from desktop to datacenter – with a clear understanding of how it is actually deployed on the underlying infrastructure. ELPs (Effective License Position) can be created in real time and the easy to use reports mean that management information is readily accessible. Improved visibility, knowledge and far less reliability on manual processes puts us in a position of strength – able to optimise licensing, control costs and investment decisions.”
