Capacity Management

What is capacity management?
Capacity management is a process for planning, monitoring and controlling IT resources to ensure that systems provide sufficient performance for current and future requirements at all times. This involves analyzing capacities such as computing power, memory, network bandwidth and hardware utilization.

Areas of application and benefits
Capacity Management is used in data centers, cloud and managed service environments to avoid oversizing or undersizing. Predictive planning allows bottlenecks to be identified at an early stage and investments to be managed in a targeted manner. The benefits are stable system performance, optimized cost structures and better support for growth strategies. In hardware maintenance, capacity management supports the timely planning of expansions, refreshes or TPM transitions.
