Data center Data center infrastructure management

1 Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is the integration of information

technology (IT) and facility management disciplines to centralize monitoring,

management and intelligent capacity planning of a data center's critical

systems. Achieved through the implementation of specialized software,

hardware and sensors, DCIM enables common, real-time monitoring and

management platform for all interdependent systems across IT and

facility infrastructures.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-capacity-planning-toolkit.html

Manufacturing resource planning Key functions and features

Manufacturing resource planning Industry specifics

1 Capacity planning is the key to success in this as in many industries, and it is in those that MRP II is less

appropriate.

Material requirements planning History

1 In the 1980s, Joe Orlicky's MRP evolved into Oliver Wight's

manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) which brings master

scheduling, rough-cut capacity planning, capacity requirements

planning, S&OP in 1983 and other concepts to classical MRP

Material requirements planning Problems with MRP systems

1 Generally, MRP II refers to a system with integrated financials. An MRP II system can include finite / infinite

capacity planning. But, to be considered a true MRP II system

must also include financials.

VMware - Other products

1 VMware Capacity Planner, an information technology (IT) capacity planning tool, collects utilization-data

in heterogeneous computing environments and compares it to

industry-standard reference-data to provide analysis and decision-

support modeling.

Peter Chen - Computer performance modeling

1 In his early career, he was active in R&D activities in computer system

performance. He was the program chair of an ACM SIGMETRICS conference. He

developed a computer performance model for a major computer vendor. His

innovative research results were adopted in commercial compter

performance tuning and capacity planning tools.

Performance engineering - Transition

1 Identify projected trends from monthly and quarterly reports, and

on a quarterly basis, execute capacity planning management

activities

Service catalog - Service catalogs for cloud computing services

1 To make selection easier and to speed service deployment, service

definitions are often standardized in cloud service catalogs. This presents

three benefits: improved capacity planning, particularly if standard

components are used; quicken service provisioning; and better buying

forecasts which helps to lower costs.

Project portfolio management - Evolution of PPM

1 In addition, as the size, scope, complexity, and geographical spread

of organizations’ project portfolios continued to grow, greater visibility was needed of project work across the enterprise, allied to improved resource utilization and capacity

planning.

WiMAX-Advanced - Inherent limitations

1 However, with adequate capacity planning and the use of WiMAX's

Quality of Service, a minimum guaranteed throughput for each subscriber can be put in place

Message queuing service - Goals

demands

Long-tail traffic - Web site provisioning for long-tail traffic

1 The ability to accurately forecast request patterns is an important

requirement of capacity planning. A practical consequence of burstiness

and heavy-tailed and correlated arrivals is difficulty in capacity

planning.

Consolidation ratio

1 'Consolidation ratio' is the number of virtual servers needed on each physical

host. Many companies arrive at that figure through trial and error by

stacking virtual machines on top of each other until performance slows to a crawl. “It’s sort of capacity planning by

bloody nose,” observes Bob Gill, Managing Director of server research for analyst firm TheInfoPro Inc. of New

York.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-capacity-planning-toolkit.html

Capacity Management - Network performance management tasks and classes of tools

1 Network managers perform many tasks; these include performance measurement, forensic analysis,

capacity planning, and load-testing or load generation. They also work closely with application developers

and IT departments who rely on them to deliver underlying network

services.

Scrutinizer NetFlow and sFlow Analyzer, or NetQoS that project the impact of

new applications or increased usage are invaluable.

Prescriptive analytics - Applications in healthcare

1 Prescriptive analytics can also benefit healthcare providers in their capacity

planning by using analytics to leverage operational and usage data combined with data of external factors such as economic data, population demographic trends and

population health trends, to more accurately plan for future capital

investments such as new facilities and equipment utilization as well as

understand the trade-offs between adding additional beds and expanding an existing

facility versus building a new one.

Operations management - Modeling

1 Also any serious discussion of capacity planning involves adjusting

company outputs with market demands.

Capacity planning

1 In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum

amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period.

Effective capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period

due to constraints such as quality problems, delays, material handling,

etc. The phrase is also used in business computing as a synonym for capacity

management.

Velocity tracking

1 'Velocity' is a capacity planning tool sometimes used in Agile software

development. Velocity tracking is the act of measuring said velocity. The

velocity is calculated by counting the number of units of work completed in a certain interval, the length of which

is determined at the start of the project.
