Capacity Planning: VMTurbo Planner Answers 3 Common Questions
In contrast with other VM capacity planning tools that project based solely on CPU and memory, the VMTurbo Planner considers all major resources in its analysis, including CPU, Memory, I/O, Network, and Storage. The Planner produces detailed actionable execution plans and capacity management actions. And where other tools base the analysis on extrapolating current trends, the Planner can explore a rich set of "what if" scenarios.
The Planner is part of an integrated suite, built on a common architecture, with seamless integration of the tools, data, analytics, and user interface, leveraging VMTurbo's Economic Scheduling Engine. The suite eliminates the need to learn multiple products with multiple interfaces. Furthermore, the Planner leverages the same database as the rest of the suite, so there is no redundant data collection, and capacity planning can take into account historic data such as peaks.
This tutorial illustrates how you can answer three common questions:
- "What is the optimal workload allocation for the current environment?"
- "What would the application resource demands be for an added load?"
- "What will the application resource demands be at a future date?"
