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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
