Capacity Management

Single view capacity management solutions have arrived.

Concord Capacity Management ensures computing capacity is in place to meet business needs in a time and cost efficient manner.

Capacity Integrator is ideal in thousand plus host, heterogeneous environments. The tool consolidates all interfaces, hosts and storage subsystems into a single view. This consolidation of actionable data allows clients to focus resources properly and proactively.

Marketplace Current State:
Many current capacity monitoring systems enable administrators or operations staff to view one system at a time in exhaustive detail. Many are used to send alerts once static capacity thresholds are reached or crossed. This only provides you with the ability to be reactive, often generating a large number of false alarms, the investigation of which is an inefficient use of time for your operations staff.

Key Benefits of Concord's Capacity Integrator
  • Generate prioritized lists of actionable capacity issues (i.e. nearing over-capacity, most underutilized, fastest changing, most variable, etc.) that help optimize the utilization of your computing infrastructure.
  • Auto-sort performance metrics for thousands of entities to discover outliers.
  • Identify trends in system and application utilization over time to effectively increase lead times associated with new procurement and provisioning.
  • Create role-specific views to better manage computing resources and ensure a greater ROI for IT investments.
  • Concentrate on the architecture and root-cause analysis of trouble issues and planning with less time devoted to interrupt-driven and reactive remediation of performance-related issues.

Common Issues We Solve
  
Sprawl Many hosts and storage devices.
Heterogeneity Linux, VM, Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris.
Multiple vendor tools

Too many devices managing particular platforms: BMC Patrol, Tivoli, HP OpenView, Microsoft SCOM/MOM, EMC Control Center, VMware,VCenter, etc.
Alarm/alert overload Too many alerts for the IT staff to handle, leading to alert censoring, suppression or staff disregard.
Poor performance Persistent computing-resource performance related trouble incidents.
No consolidation reporting/single view Desire for a central means understanding capacity.
