Optimize IT Capacity with Capacity Planning Solutions- see icons below
Heavy Agents kill the Servers
No Baseline Data
What is my IT Capacity?
User Demand is Outgrowing IT Capacity
Proof for Budget Requests
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Manual Reporting Nightmare: Becoming sick and tired of using Excel to manually track and report on capacity planning and management. Sending reports out via e-mail or manually posting reports to websites is just too time-consuming. Why can't this be automated?
Automate, Automate, Automate: Look for pre-built capacity reporting templates that can be automated to fit your needs. Automatically generate and send capacity reports that track critical enterprise resources, services, and mission-critical application availability.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Too Expensive and Painful:
There is no budget for expensive capacity planning tools and frameworks like BMC Partol, IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter, TeamQuest, and HP OpenView. Even if we had the money, we don't have the in-house expertise to use these complex and hard to use products. We have no time or desire to deploy them.
Look at Framework Alternatives: Consider these functions paramount - self deployable, easily manageable, with no consulting needed. Find all-in-one capacity planning software that fits your needs without the headaches of the big frameworks. Evaluate capacity planning tools to find what will work best in your environment.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Heavy Agents kill the Servers:
Bloated framework agents create too much workload on the servers when monitoring. I need to monitor and report on capacity with the deep metrics. I need agents that are light, robust, and don't overload the servers.
Use invisible agents (passive and lightweight: Look for 'invisible' yet powerful agents that are lightweight and add no load to your servers. Make sure they are still powerful enough to capture the detailed server metrics you need for smart capacity planning.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
No Baseline Data: At the moment, it's tough to make strategic decisions on purchasing new hardware or to know if a server consolidation project is justified. Without data, IT can't support the business. I feel like I'm driving without headlights.
Build a Capacity Data Warehouse: Take frequent snapshots of your entire enterprise server environment and always keep at least 2 years of data. This gives you the baseline data needed for accurate capacity planning.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
How much Compute Capacity do I Have?:Business units want to roll out a new application and management is looking to you for the answer. How do you find an easy to use report to help you with those decisions when it can be difficult to compare capacity across different platforms?
Understand the Horsepower of your Infrastructure: Find a solution that can collect and consolidate data from the platforms in your environment. Then, define and measure an enterprise CPU metric (ex. a Power Unit). Now you have the ability to report on total enterprise CPU capacity and see what your total remaining CPU capacity is.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
User Demand is Outgrowing IT Capacity:
Applications are starting to grind to a halt and it's affecting your IT Service Level Agreements. Management is starting to ask questions and you don't have the answers.
Measure the User Experience: Correlate end-user response time with server capacity to learn the real story. Graph it. Then, continue to track detailed metrics to proactively find common capacity bottlenecks like CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, and Network I/O.
The Problems:
The Solutions:
Budgeting for IT: It's important to know how much hardware is needed to support new applications being rolled out next year. How much of it can the current environment handle?
Know your IT Capacity Cold: Produce trend-line graphs that easily show projected growth rates in your infrastructure. This helps determine how much capacity is remaining in the environment.

advertised. It is even more refreshing to find that there is really something to back it up.
I hope the following sections will do some justice to
what an impressive product this is." -

to monitor my systems, I didn’t have to deal with it. To quote a late-night infomerical,
“set it and forget it”!" - Bill Bradford, SunHelp. For the full review, please visit here: The SunHelp
