VMware and Digital Fuel

ACQUIRED IN JULY 2011

Digital Fuel’s portfolio for IT costing, budget, chargeback, cost optimization, vendor management and SLA management helps companies plan, manage and optimize cost and value in cloud-based dynamic IT infrastructures. These solutions give companies a broad range of IT financial metrics, from physical and virtual systems to compute, storage and networking resources, whether those resources are on-premise or sourced from public cloud providers.

Combined with our existing virtualization management products, Digital Fuel's acquisition gives our customers a complete picture of IT costs and value. A comprehensive and unified financial understanding of IT costs will help customers make good business decisions, aligning financial trade-offs to business priorities. With Digital Fuel and VMware, IT can engage more effectively with business stakeholders through meaningful measurements and reports, including a Bill of IT Services, chargeback, service level reporting, and vendor scorecards.
