Capacity Management
Common Issues:
Not knowing how much power, space and cooling you are consuming and how much it is costing your business
Not knowing what your current and future instance costs are
Not being able to predict and respond proactively rather than reactively to operational changes in capacity requirements
Not being able to determine future requirements based on current capacity usage
Not knowing how much capacity you need to migrate to cloud, and what the instance costs would be
Common Effects:
Inability to respond quickly to capacity requests and costing exercises
Failure to meet SLAs, RTOs, MAOs, and RPOs
Inability to align capacity requirements with procurement cycles
Suboptimal purchases due to unclear view of current and future capacity requirements
Outages or services impacted due to capacity issues
Regularly over or under capacity
- Poor customer experiences and opportunity for competition
How we can help:
Assist with automating infrastructure capacity reporting and analysis so:
Power, space, cooling and other capacity can be managed more effectively, reducing costs and maximising investments
Future capacity requirements can be predicted and managed proactively to ensure services are not impacted
Sizing exercises can be performed to determine if capacity requirements can be achieved, and ensure the right amount of capacity is purchased at the right time
SLAs, RTOs, MAOs, and RPOs can be met
The number of outages and their duration are reduced, ensuring customer satisfaction is high
- Purchasing of capacity can be aligned with procurement cycles where possible
