Galileo Active Monitoring (GAM) offers a wide range of solutions to help you easily install, configure, and manage one of your most critical monitoring components. This post will provide the basic steps to get you up-and-running quickly.

I remember how excited I was to build my first Network Operations Center (NOC). It was a new idea at the time (yes, I know I’m dating myself), and boy, did we feel like we were cutting edge. The mere idea that we needed a place and a set of tools to monitor our entire infrastructure (because it’s never really been about just the network) was a big transition at the time. How things have changed.

This video blew us away. In 15 seconds, Frito-Lay illustrated the deliciousness of Tostitos® Salsa comes down to 3 simple, wholesome ingredients with transparent packaging that enhances the flavor experience. With ultimate visibility, you can see the quality right through the jar. Man, we couldn’t stop talking about the genius of it all. We boiled that 15 seconds down even further. “3 ingredients. Chop, chop. Yum, yum.” (By my count, that’s 8 seconds)

A large U.S.-based insurance provider was experiencing rising database software licensing costs. In order to reduce the software licensing costs, the organization needed to complete a comprehensive infrastructure analysis of over 200 physical servers. 75 percent of these physical servers supported one software application, their database solution. Additionally, the software routinely only utilized between two and four cores, despite having 24 cores on each server.

In 2020, we started an internal project to price our data center systems to understand what they might cost to run in the AWS or Azure cloud environments. We initially used some of the online pricing tools available from these vendors, but they were slow and difficult to use in bulk. You can find the public cloud tools here: AWS and Azure. We were forced to add individual systems one at a time and pick options for each because of the nature of these tools.

Are you migrating to Azure or another public Cloud? A client of ours did, and they didn’t use Galileo Cloud Compass. Do you know what happened? They didn’t experience the savings they expected, and their Azure invoices were a lot more than expected—about 60% more. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that they didn’t have an accurate way to price their workload for the Cloud. Just think about understanding the pricing model for each of the major Cloud vendors!

If you’re going to move assets to Azure – or any public cloud, you’re going to need some help. As a cloud consulting firm with a top-notch infrastructure performance monitoring application, we help enterprises navigate obstacles on the path to the cloud all the time. We’ve also felt the pain of sizing and pricing in our cloud journey, too. That’s why we created Galileo Cloud Compass (or GCC as we sometimes call it).
