Virtualized shared resource pools have introduced entirely new capacity management challenges that make it harder than ever to stay a step ahead of contention issues. Without real-time capacity monitoring, resource bottlenecks can quickly turn into crippling performance problems. And without the right management and analytics tools, capacity optimization and planning are virtually impossible.
SolarWinds delivers capacity operations management, capacity optimization, and capacity planning features that span the needs of your enterprise at every timeframe—from minute-to-minute troubleshooting, to what-if optimization, to longer-term resource forecasting.
VMware Capacity Operations
Monitor, predict, detect, and troubleshoot capacity bottlenecks with real-time dashboards and alerts to determine:
- Where are my critical capacity bottlenecks right now?
- How can I fix my current resource contention?
- Where’s the next capacity issue going to happen?

Use advanced search-based analytics to determine optimal VM placement, explore what-if scenarios, identify capacity shortfalls, and determine application-specific capacity needs answering critical questions including:
- When will I run out of resources?
- How many app servers will fit in my virtual infrastructure?
- How much more do I need to buy?
- What if I add more hosts or VMs?
- Where should I place these new VMs?

Budget and plan for new purchases, identify and eliminate VM sprawl, zombies, orphans, and rogues, and investigate public cloud options such as:
- What departments are using what resources?
- How much would it cost to run certain workloads on Amazon EC2?

Virtualization Manager enables VMware capacity planning across CPU, memory, storage space, and storage and network IO resources. A sophisticated analytics engine allows you to create detailed scenarios that capture time variations, custom outage thresholds, and N-X (e.g. N-1 or N-2) analysis. For easy reference, you can embed each of the scenarios you create into dashboards. Capacity results are viewable in graphical or tabular formats and you can also access information regarding how the calculations were performed.
VMware capacity management has never been easier or more powerful.
