Capacity Management

Capacity Management tools and processes enable IT organizations to achieve cost reduction and risk avoidance objectives. To effectively implement enterprise-level Capacity Management process, tools must be able to manage all infrastructure components, relate capacity needs to business drivers, provide high levels of automation and integrate with other IT Service Management tools and processes.

Virtualization

The ability to identify required resources and safely allocate workloads is essential to migrate to and then manage virtualized IT infrastructures. Companies need an automated tool capable of scaling to hundreds or thousands of systems and workloads and handling complex (technical, business and compliancy) policies.

Cloud Management

Delivering capacity that can rapidly and reliably adapt (i.e. both scale up and down) to dynamic business demands is critical to cloud services implementation and delivery. Private and public cloud services providers must be able to seamlessly provision resources whenever a new business application or customer instance is requested by their users.

Accounting & Chargeback

To effectively implement IT Financial Management processes in a complex and virtualized environment requires the ability to continuously collect and process utilization data related to all components and services.

Green Data Center

To pursue Green Data Center initiatives and contain energy costs companies must adopt tools that include "Green KPIs", such as power consumption, cooling and floor space, to enable a comprehensive end-to-end capacity planning.
