TODAY’S CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
PROBLEMS
3
4. Copyright © 2012 TeamQuest Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
• Basic Analytics
– Monitoring trends
– Siloed problem analysis
– Capacity planning focused on optimizing server cost versus performance
• Extremely technology-centric
– Servers, mainframes
– Occasionally storage or network – in isolation
• Big value and return, but also a big effort
– Requires highly trained staff
– Requires building a central, long-term repository (CMIS)
– Problems with scalability of staff and tools … Politics!

Needed: Cross-enterprise Capacity
Management
7. Copyright © 2012 TeamQuest Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
“What is the health of the
infrastructure?”
“How efficiently are
we using the
infrastructure?”
“How many of those do
we have?”
“Changes compared to
the last reporting
period?”
“What’s the capacity
forecast?”
“What were the
exceptions?”
“What’s the risk
assessment?”

The Environment:
Continuously Changing

• Continuous consolidation and repurposing
– Least used (servers, virtual servers)
– Most power (use, cost)
– Most expensive (total OpEx)
– By application
– By specific point in time
• Financial Optimization
Virtualization Optimization
10. Copyright © 2012 TeamQuest Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
• Asset database
– Server CapEx, OpEx and licensing costs
• Service catalog
– Mapping of applications to servers/virtual servers
• Power consumption
– kWh per server
• Power cost
– Spreadsheet: cost per kWh over time
• Resource utilization
– By server, virtual server and application

What Is Needed:
Leverage Existing Solutions and Data

• Build a huge “data mart” (i.e. PMDB)
• Complexity = (data ETL) x (# sources) x
(maintenance effort)
• Compliance: Data duplication, privacy, audit,
etc…
• Extremely costly and time-consuming
• Not Agile
• Lock in

APPROACH
A Better Solution

• Federate data, don’t centralize it
– Technology (e.g. server, network, storage, etc.)
– Service (catalog, metrics, tickets, etc.)
– Business (KPIs, plans, transactions, etc.)
• Automated analytics across all data sources
– Flexible and adaptive
– Turn data into actionable information
– Single-pane-of-glass capacity management
