Capacity Planning and Resource Management
Tighten the link between business planning and IT expenditures
You must balance your need to meet service delivery requirements against the need to limit your costs. You want to be able to successfully predict when IT should provision new infrastructure to meet specific business demands in a way that speeds return on investment and ensures service level does not suffer.
To achieve this, you could simply purchase additional expensive hardware that meets your service goals, but fails with respect to cost containment and results in unnecessary capital expenditures for underutilized equipment. Traditional capacity planning tools can only show you part of the picture. What you need is a way to make informed decisions based on historical data, current trends and anticipated future behavior.
How much more effective would your capacity planning be if you could:
- Predict how growth in one line of business would impact specific IT resources?
- Monitor tiers and machines on a real-time basis?
- Make intelligent and timely hardware provisioning decisions?
- Achieve cost savings through optimized capital expenditure?
- Ensure infrastructure and service availability?
- Meet your customer's service delivery requirements?
