How do you balance costs to support the business demands with the risk of a capacity related outages?
With Capacity Planner’s growth modelling capabilities and predictive analytics, you can be sure you have clear insight into your supporting infrastructure requirements.
- Is growth exceeding expectations in one area and behind in another?
- Does hardware need to be re-allocated to support it rather than buying more?
- Is storage efficiently used?
- How much of your storage is allocated but unused?
With Forward Thinking™ Scenario Modelling, you can:
- model multiple scenarios for change
- each with differing outcomes
- make informed evidence-backed decisions
