Success in the internal cloud depends on a solid capacity management plan. Info-Tech recommends developing such a plan in any consolidated data center. This storyboard will help you:
- Understand the benefits of carefully managing capacity in a consolidated infrastructure.
- Turn the data center into an infrastructure-as-a-service internal cloud that ultimately serves business needs.
- Develop a workbook to keep track of current apps and infrastructure, and sort them according to business priority.
- Manage capacity with service tiers to minimize monetary costs and low-value management time.
- Have an approach to infrastructure that will transition to an external cloud when its time comes.
Embrace capacity management to match business needs with infrastructure in the most cost-effective way possible.
