Perform “What-If” Impact Analysis to Model Effect of Capacity Changes
Respond quickly to changing market and business requirements by simulating one-time, real-world use cases. Whether your company is acquiring or consolidating businesses, adding new headcount, or deploying multi-tiered applications.
CapacityIQ allows you to model various scenarios to understand and quantify the true business impact. With the right capacity intelligence, you can make informed purchasing, provisioning and planning decisions.
Identify and Reclaim Inefficient, Unused CapacityManaging or monitoring your VM or workload requires a lot time, resources and discipline— a very tedious and consuming task. As a result, your datacenter environment may not be fully optimized.
With CapacityIQ, you can easily and quickly identify any idle or inactive VMs in your datacenter. By right-sizing or decommissioning these VMs,you can safely free up any unused capacity in order to eliminate waste and reduce costs in your organization.
Forecast Timing of Capacity Shortfalls and BottlenecksYour job is to deliver the right capacity at the right time—whenever and however it is needed. In a dynamic environment, this can be very difficult without the right tools.
CapacityIQ continuously profiles, analyzes and tracks your capacity needs at multiple levels: VM, host, cluster and datacenter. Based on historical capacity consumption patterns, CapacityIQ can trend and forecast your current and future capacity needs, ensuring that capacity is always available to meet any service level agreement.

It’s great that VMware recognizes the market need for capacity planning, management, and optimization of VMware infrastructures. However, CapacityIQ falls short in many of the things it promises to do… VM placement, right-sizing VM, reclaiming wasted/unused resources, current and future bottleneck identification and resolution. IT admins don’t have a lot of time to search for these answers. VKernel’s products simply provide answers and actionable information enabling IT admins to be more efficient and successful.
