Capacity Planning Challenges
Right-size Your Environment
Where are my most utilized resources, WAN links, disks, CPUs, etc?
What about my least used resources?
Can I save money by right-sizing?
How much capacity do I need?
Understanding Usage Trends
How are my WAN links being used today?
What are the top protocols, hosts, and conversations that are consuming bandwidth?
Timing is Everything
How soon will I be needing additional capacity?
How does that align with required provisioning time?

Don’t Plan with Watered Down Data
While other solutions roll-up data over time, giving you “watered down” averaged data to plan with, SevOne stores all as-polled data for one year+ without rolling it up, allowing for better planning!
