Effective Capacity Management – bringing IT and Business together


The need to consider a unified approach to Capacity Management is valid and urgent now, as the complexity in infrastructure increases.

Each technological change, such as virtualization or Cloud, tends to bring the addition of a point solution, in capacity and other areas of infrastructure management.

More point solutions means it becomes more difficult to maintain consistent and unified processes for tasks such as capacity and change management across the enterprise. 

This breadth of coverage for an ever more diverse environment is a concern that needs to be addressed.  With the widespread implementation of virtual technology, often now to enable Cloud computing to be adopted, managing capacity is a major concern.

As businesses migrate to a mix of private and public Clouds, with infrastructure resources under varying degrees of control for the organization, there are valid concerns about:

-           Planning what resources are really needed

-           Deciding how best to provision those resources

-           Ensuring those resources are used effectively

The total capacity management coverage and clear advice on process available from Metron removes the need for these concerns.
