How Planning With BMC Capacity Trending Advisor Can Reduce Over-Provisioning

According to recent surveys conducted by BMC Software and feedback from market analysts, the majority of IT organizations still forecast capacity utilization using spreadsheets. This requires a significant amount of time-consuming manual tasks to collect and analyze performance data. The data is then input into countless spreadsheets for trend analysis purposes before being exported to a text document or slide presentation for management consumption. The increasing complexity of IT infrastructures that are implemented to support business applications makes these manual tasks even more challenging and often requires significant and disparate technical expertise. The result is the frequency and format of capacity utilization reports are often sporadic, incomplete, and inconsistent causing IT management and organizations to either ignore the reports or view them with limited confidence.
