What is Capacity Planning

Capacity planning is the process that determines the IT infrastructure that is required to meet future workload demands.

At DNA IT Solutions we take a look at the historical user patterns before we start to develop the workload model. The workload must be realistic and reflect real user patterns in order for it to be effective. When done correctly, this will ensure the successful application of capacity planning.

Why Capacity Planning is Important

Capacity planning is becoming more critical as all organisations are so dependent on their IT systems to succeed. No business can afford downtime or delays due to an unforeseen growth spurt. The IT industry moves fast, new technologies and threats all have their impacts both positively and negatively.

Capacity planning when done correctly will mean a business gets maximum performance from their IT spend while keeping it at a controlled acceptable cost.

Future Proofing

Every business needs to evolve to survive. In order for your business to flourish you need to ensure you have elevated your IT infrastructure to a point where it can cope with increased demand and usage.

By planning for the future you will minimise your risk and improve your scalability while future proofing your business.
