Capacity Planning has the main objective of ensuring the adaptation of the IT service levels to the organization’s needs.

The solution helps the IT Managers to plan beforehand and become familiar in detail with the capacity required by the services as to avoid bottlenecking and to reduce costs. The risks of performance loss are identified and eliminated before they become a problem. There is a constant process of capacity planning, which determines the workloads of the several IT services and maintains the performance levels in accordance with user expectations.

Its implementation and continuous use allows for a migration from a corrective action scenario to a preventive and planned action scenario in a comprising manner, which reduces costs, optimizes performance and increases availability.

With a Capacity Planning solution, the IT managers plan with antecedence and become familiar in detail with the capacity required by the services so as to avoid “bottlenecks” and to reduce costs. The risks of performance loss are identified and eliminated before they become a problem. There is a constant process of capacity planning, which determines the workloads of the several IT services and maintains the performance levels in accordance with user expectations.

The working process dynamics within an organization is quite agile.  New market opportunities require a fast adaptation of strategies and actions, which are necessary for their implementation. In this scenario, changes in business processes are constant, which affect the demand for new IT services in a direct and immediate manner.

Capacity planning must be treated as a constant process in order to make it possible to render planned, on time and on budget of the users’ demands. The success of the implementation of a Capacity Planning solution is the understanding that a planning cycle is being implemented and not only a precise corrective action.
