vOPS™ Capacity Manager
Predictive analysis of system metrics to identify future performance bottlenecks
and model available VM capacity across server and storage resources.
Forecast and Manage Virtual Environment Capacity
vOPS Capacity Manager, part of the VKernel vOperations Suite™, models available
VM capacity across server and storage resource and uses predictive analysis of
system metrics to identify future bottlenecks. Capacity Manager is unique in
using advanced analytics to calculate the maximum number of VMs that can safely
fit on existing equipment. By using this capacity planning solution,
virtualization administrators are able to accurately plan for additional VMware
capacity and avoid VM performance issues.
Key Features:
• Capacity Availability Map provides a count of available VM slots in the
current or future state of the environment based on existing VMs, customizable
VM profiles, average VM size or maximum VM size
• Future Bottlenecks Report forecasts upcoming VM performance issues, time to
issue, and constraining resource
• Reserved VM Slots assign CPU, memory, storage, and disk I/O capacity to future
VM placements then removes this capacity from additional modeling considerations
Operational Benefits:
• Understand current and future capacity bottlenecks to stay ahead of
increasing virtual machine demand
• Gauge available capacity by modeling future virtual machine loads
• Identify resource constraints to procure the right hardware
• Support capacity management and planning for mixed Hyper-V/VMware
Business Benefits:
• Avoid SLA violations and crisis hardware procurement through accurate
purchasing forecasts
• Eliminate overbuying of hardware through accurate capacity planning and
availability insight
• Defer equipment purchasing and maximize hardware use through higher VM density
• Reduce downtime and firefighting by avoiding forecasted performance problems
Integration Capabilities:
Integrate VM slot availability and reserved VM capacity data into:
• Self-service portals
• Orchestration engines vOPS Capacity Manager is simple to download, easy to
deploy and provides immediate measurable value.
