In what situations can capacity planning help you?
- Simulations of system resources load development and distribution of the load between various applications, services and users. If, for example, a bank wanted to introduce new e-banking services to the market, it would need to compare several development scenarios and plan future resource allocation so that the system would not fail when the load increases.
- Automated reporting and interconnection of different business metrics. The management will always have accurate and detailed information available on current performance and usage of IT resources. Moreover, various metrics can be observed that reflect the company performance, such as the number of processed loans/invoices or the number of users working with the application in relation to capacity usage of the operating system, databases and applications.
- Proactive load monitoring. Monitoring of IT resources capacity and the possibility to compare it with data from the past or anticipated development allows you to react to potential problems in advance. When the situation is expected to deteriorate, the system can issue a warning few days ahead so that the people responsible have enough time to fix the problem without threatening the company performance.
