The Quiet Cost Killer in Your Infrastructure

Every IT team has them — VMs that are over-provisioned “just to be safe.” It’s harmless, right? Just a few extra vCPUs. A bit more memory. A bit more disk. But multiply that by hundreds (or thousands) of VMs, and suddenly you’re burning through compute, licensing, and cloud credits at a pace no budget can sustain.

The truth is simple: oversized VMs quietly erode your margins, performance, and credibility.

Why Right-Sizing Isn’t Optional Anymore

Today’s economic pressure means IT teams are under intense scrutiny — from finance, procurement, and even customers. Every VM that’s misaligned with workload needs becomes a line item in someone’s cost reduction initiative.

Right-sizing isn’t just a technical best practice. It’s a business necessity.

What’s Blocking You?

Most teams want to right-size, but the tools don’t help:

  • RVTools and exports give you a static snapshot
  • Cloud-native dashboards offer some insight — but only for their stack
  • Emailing spreadsheets back and forth is slow, risky, and siloed

How OneIQ Helps

OneIQ changes the game by providing:

  • Continuous, full-stack visibility across VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, and cloud
  • Workload intelligence that highlights over- and under-utilized VMs in real time
  • Secure collaboration between sellers, customers, and architects — without emailing sensitive data
  • AI-powered insights to recommend optimization, retirement, or migration targets

You don’t need another spreadsheet. You need Fullstack Intelligence®.

Find the Waste Before Your CFO Does

Right-sizing is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a way to regain control of your infrastructure, protect your budget, and build trust with every stakeholder.

Because one oversized VM won’t kill you — but hundreds might.
