What is Capacity Planning?

Illustration of IT items with focus on a question mark

Overview

Capacity planning?is the process of predicting and forecasting the need for IT infrastructure resources by collecting the capacity of the current environment and using tools to measure it against future requirements.

Siloed processes are making it increasingly difficult for infrastructure administrators to manage their infrastructure efficiently and meet the demands of business. They may be faced with the questions:

  • What is the risk to my current environment due to non-ideal cluster configurations?
  • What is the impact of bringing down a server or an enclosure?
  • Are my clusters well balanced to handle planned or unplanned downtime?
  • Do I have enough infrastructure resources to meet future capacity needs of my business?

Many require a capacity planning solution which provides you with:

  • A unified view of the physical and virtual infrastructure layouts
  • A capacity optimization engine that is able to forecast and model future capacity needs
  • A platform to assess infrastructure risk and remediate before downtime strikes
