Perspective Dashboards – Capacity Planning
How can I easily determine capacity limits?
Perspective Dashboards – Capacity Planning
I need to model loads and predict capacity
Scenario-based modeling helps to understand the impact of change
Trend Visualization
Visualize capacity trends• History• Show upper and lower
bands (min/max)• Alarms based on trends and
forecasts• Customizable for any metric
Back to Perspectives
ChargebackHow can I easily identify
costs for resources used?
How can I report/bill for these costs?
• VMs are pre-configured with a fixed cost
• High predictability to a VMs cost throughout its lifecycle
• Allows the end user to specify a set of CPU and memory counts as well as share allocations
• Charge for those VMs that need more beyond the base configuration
• Metered costs possible atop this model
ChargebackTiered Flat Rate (TFR)
ChargebackMeasured Resource Utilization (MRU)
• Calculations are performed by determining:
• Each VMs actual utilization• Applies the appropriate cost/unit
calculation for each resource based on the weighting configuration.
• Partial Cost Recovery• IT absorbs costs for a portion of the
infrastructure that are going unused• Full Cost Recovery
• IT is not a cost center, rather it charges the full costs to customers or the business
