Capacity Planning

Growth and change within an organisation requires restructuring of IT systems. ICM delivers a service that optimises the performance of existing resources and makes provisions for the future, while at the same time keeping your systems as streamlined as possible through consolidation and virtualisation.

Capacity Management looks at the existing technology, and using current convergence techniques such as server consolidation and virtualisation, seeks to simplify and unify disparate systems. This service reduces server downtime by identifying and reutilising underused servers, thereby improving server performance and availability. Consolidation leads to simple management, economies of scale and the ability to improve the accuracy of your IT budget.

The day-to-day activities of maintenance, troubleshooting and installation can often be time consuming, leaving little time for planning and forecasting activities. Capacity Planning requires system, network and database administrators, and where possible end users, to develop a formal system of measuring and analysing the pressures being put on the system.

Capacity Planning can help your organisation to:

• Accurately and efficiently provision new applications
• Reduce, delay and sometimes completely avoid costs
• Justify upgrades with objective analysis
• Optimally configure systems to accommodate forecasted changes in business
• Migrate systems to take advantage of new technology
• Consolidate servers to simplify management
