Looking closer … increased visibility
• Capacity across IT
• Capacity across facilities
• Unified view
Indication of productive and
unproductive power usage
Unproductive power = potential to
reduce IT Equipment
Reduced IT equipment = increased
efficiency & less power

Adopt a phased approach to getting started …
Centralize your data archiveStep #1
• Consolidate data collection practices
• Aggregate capacity-related data from across the organization
Map your service relationshipsStep #2
• Leverage your CMDB to understand infrastructure – services dependencies
• Visualize, map and manage capacity
Model trends, plan capabilitiesStep #3
• Historical and real-time capacity = clear understanding of capacity constraints
• Utilize “what-if” scenario analysis to gauge impact of future growth

Editor's Notes Graph Upper Right: The graphing on the right half is a modeling of expected growth based on expected scenario
Step #1:
Step #2: Once the centralized data source is created, organizations should establish relationships between capacity and the workloads associated with specific applications and business services.
CMDB maps the dependencies between your infrastructure and resources capabilities on one hand and the applications and services supported by business on the other
