Its flexibility allows you to implement new applications rapidly and dynamically, while significantly reducing costs. Bull can help you to analyze, define, implement the appropriate performance management tools and efficiently manage this complexity.

Bull experts
Thanks to its expertise in the management of highly available complex infrastructures, Bull offers a wide range of performance management services including consulting, training, installation and support related to performance management. Whatever their objectives may be, Bull experts help customers optimize the performance of their current infrastructures, as well as supporting them in their virtualization and consolidation projects.

Performance analysis and capacity management
Starting with a complete and detailed inventory of the existing infrastructure and an analysis of the current and future needs, Bull consultants help customers to achieve the required performance level, in either virtual or traditional environments. This may involve:

• Load simulation: to check whether the infrastructure in place is able to support not only the expected load but also potential peak loads
• Identification and removal of performance inhibitors
• Optimizations: adjusting the parameters for various elements (servers and operating system, network, storage, applications...)
• Monitoring of performance developments over time, with trend analysis. This analysis, which is delivered as a technical report to the customer, is followed by recommendations to optimize the use of current resources or to plan for future investments.
