IT Systems Management - Capacity Management

Traditionally, IT organisations have addressed hardware resource constraints by throwing extra server capacity at the problem. However, the past few years have brought declining growth for IT budgets, and companies are finding it more difficult to control costs while maintaining acceptable service levels. In today's environment, you must be able to account for your technology resources and optimise them for the future so that you can cost-effectively manage change with agility.

BMC Performance Assurance

KTSL provides BMC Performance Assurance tools that enable effective ITIL® capacity management processes by ensuring that the capacity of the IT infrastructure matches the evolving demands of the business in the most cost-effective and timely manner. Real-time and historical analysis ensures your ability to identify and resolve application bottlenecks and performance issues. Advanced statistical analysis and predictive modelling identifies trends, providing rapid recognition of normal and abnormal usage, and reveals the impact of changes on your business before service levels are threatened.

Key Features & Benefits

• Establishes a common view between IT and business to reduce finger pointing and speed problem solving via workload-oriented modelling
• Discovers exceptions to normal performance in environments via statistical analysis to concentrate scarce resources on true business problems
• Controls costs while setting achievable service level goals by determining the business impact of resource changes with predictive modelling
• Prevents service problems by predicting impact of change on application responsiveness through multi-system workload-oriented predictive modelling
• Optimises and tunes existing systems/applications to maximise usage and defer spending using advanced modelling capabilities
• Reduces risks by making correct business decisions based on complete and accurate data and performance analysis
• Saves problem resolution time by using statistical and modelling analysis to identify the root-cause of throughput and other performance bottlenecks

KTSL has experienced capacity planning consultants who will be pleased to discuss your provisioning requirements with you. Please contact us for more information.
