Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business-critical application that has a wide ranging, intracompany impact across business units, departments and functions. Organizations deploying ERP software such as Oracle PeopleSoft are under pressure to reduce cost and risk, control change by accelerating deployments and increase the availability of their application.

Increasing complexity in the data center is compelling companies to release products designed to help organizations standardize, simplify, and automate the management of these systems. Due to the nature and scope of an ERP application, it has organizationwide implications ranging from tactical cost cutting targets to long-term strategic initiatives.

Cut Costs; Boost Value

Organizations are dramatically downsizing their average deployed server, while radically increasing the total number of servers. In some cases, that includes a migration of the PeopleSoft database and the underlying database operating system. This provides organizations an even greater opportunities for saving money and building business value.

Apart from cost cutting, capacity planning helps organizations to better optimize memory, boost overall use of CPU resources, and simplify deployments that take a large amount of time. Ultimately, the greatest advantage is to be able to predict IT costs more accurately.
