Capacity Management

Single view capacity management software has arrived.

Concord’s Capacity Integrator Solution will improve IT service quality while reducing infrastructure costs.

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.

Capacity Integrator Benefits
  • Receive prioritized lists of actionable capacity issues (i.e. nearing over-capacity, most underused, fastest changing, etc.).
  • Tool auto-sorts performance metrics for thousands of entities to discover outliers.
  • Centralized web-accessible dashboard provides capacity information from many sources, including both storage and host-performance data.
  • Tool creates role-specific views.

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.

– The Integrator tool and process requires data to be collected by some means. If this is not already in place, Concord can help with the selection and deployment of such a framework as 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.
