Capacity Planning and Reporting

Major Challenges:

  • • Knowing where capacity exists and what resources are being consumed;
  • • Pro-active, realistic planning for future needs;
  • • Reducing idle and wasted space within the IT infrastructure.

To plan capacity, reporting needs to be accurate. Often IT managers are at a loss when visibility is lacking especially in the case of inherited technology. If capacity planning is an afterthought, the task of revisiting to effectively plan ahead can be a mammoth one. Be Specific Consulting can offer a fresh and objective view of the IT infrastructure under management and create a starting point from which capacity can be monitored. Using our methods and tools, a full view of the infrastructure can be obtained within a short space of time. It is then possible to plan the capacity required by tracking the patterns of natural growth.
