Justifying capacity management by demonstrating the ROI - Unmanaged capacity ( 2 of 5)

Today I'll be talking about indicators of unmanaged capacity, signs to look out for that will help with your justification. 

If you don’t know pro-actively when resources are going to run out of capacity then that capacity is unmanaged.

 

Indicators will manifest in the following ways:

 

•      Capacity related incidents

•      Reactive mode of operation for capacity incidents

 

•      Lack of visibility into system resource utilization

 

•      Poor performance that is the norm

 

•      No ownership of capacity concerns

 

•      Using excessive hardware to ensure capacity

Use these indicators and relate them back to the cost to the business. 

On Monday I'll be discussing why there is a need for a Capacity management tool in modern environments.
