Cloud capacity optimization

Maximize the efficiency and resource utilization of your cloud environment. Plan for growth and optimize placement with historical usage data, forecasting, and what-if-modeling.

Optimize the capacity of your cloud with the following information:

Virtualization infrastructure overview. Identify the over- and under-utilized resources and idle virtual machines in your cloud.
Sizing recommendation. Get recommendations on how to optimize your current resources without impacting the service levels or product performance. These recommendations are based on the historical resource usage, demand trends and available capacity.
Entity usage overview. View the usage summary pages for each entity in your virtualization environment.

By using this information, you will be able to analyze the capacity, usage, and allocation trends for various resources in the cloud. You can draw reports based on the utilization and consumption of the resources and tune your infrastructure for maximum efficiency by reclaiming unused resources.

Forecast the resource utilization of entities in your environment and determine the use of underutilized resources. This way, you can efficiently plan the allocation of resources in your environment and determine the impact of adding additional resources.

Recommendations can help you uphold the health of the hosts and data stores, as well as resolve incorrect virtual machine sizing problems and achieve better virtual machine performance.
