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
