Capacity Planning

Managing the performance and availability of your IT infrastructure can be just as challenging as implementing the system itself.

But that doesn't have to be the case.

Infinet can provide you with performance analysis and capacity planning services to help you optimize your IT environment.

Performance Assessment

To achieve and maintain optimal performance from your IT environment, you need to know what performance bottlenecks exist and how to fix them.

Infinet can help you assess your current IT environment and target specific performance issues.

In our comprehensive performance analysis, our consultants will measure a variety of data points in your system, such as:

  • CPU utilization
  • memory utilization and swap rates
  • disk I/O rates
  • wait time

We will collect and analyze this data, evaluating ways to improve server performance using your existing hardware configurations and make recommendations if additional hardware is required.

This analysis shows resource consumption by workload type and overall resource loading. We'll also suggest ways to enhance the processing efficiency of your applications and minimize per-transaction resource consumption and costs.

Key Deliverables

  • Enhance processing efficiency
  • Minimize per transaction resource consumption and costs
  • Identify root causes of performance bottlenecks
  • Assess the current state of your server performance and hardware environment
  • Help determine the necessary operating system tuning or hardware changes
  • Capture information also used in capacity planning analysis

A performance analysis is a first step toward a high-performance IT environment and is a prerequisite to the more detailed capacity planning analysis. This performance analysis forms the basis of a recommendation report used for the capacity planning service.

Capacity Planning

The growth of your IT environment should parallel your business projections, including growing applications and personnel workloads.

Infinet's consultants can help you understand your current server load and its ability to accept additional workloads and users.

Based on the recommendations report defined during the Performance Analysis service, we will measure the growth potential of your current server and network environment and identify equipment you might need to meet future business requirements.

Our consultants will then develop a capacity planning model of your current operations and use it to show hardware growth paths, if required.

A capacity planning analysis can help you more accurately forecast and prepare for your future capacity needs. It can also help you determine your budget requirements.

Key Deliverables

  • Leverage information gathered from the performance analysis
  • Determine the current state of your hardware environment
  • Help you understand the impact of your anticipated growth on your   existing configuration
  • Identify room for operational growth or new application loading
  • Explore hardware alternatives
  • Develop a data center growth roadmap for hardware and application workloads
  • Identify current and anticipated capacity requirements

As part of the capacity planning analysis a report is created, which includes:

  • break point of existing hardware
  • upgrade alternatives
  • supporting charts
  • recommendations
