Capacity Management and Planning describes the science of understanding, estimating and provisioning IT resources to meet the current and future needs of the organisation. IT teams too often encounter the capacity planning paradox.
On the one hand, there are firms unable to predict when and where an outage or bottleneck will occur. On the other hand, most IT environments have a wastefully high level of excess capacity, with many machines sitting idle.
ITRS Insights Capacity Planner helps both business and IT users translate existing monitoring data into actionable advice on identifying future capacity constraints and freeing up underutilised IT resources.
Challenges
Organisations often struggle with calculating whether there are enough IT resources to handle an increasing number of transactions or users. The data needed for capacity planning is in siloes, IT teams often lack specialist capacity planning knowledge, and predicting the future is difficult.
Today’s IT environment makes the job of a capacity planner more difficult with applications distributed across different regions and platforms (physical, virtual, cloud and containers).
