With CCM you gain real business value….

Increased Visibility Improved Provisioning Reduced CAPEX/OPEX

• Total capacity

• Resource utilization

• Organizational silos

• Consumption of IT resources

• Better planning

• Just-in-time

• Effective resource utilization

• Energy savings

• Streamlined processes

Looking closer … increased visibility

• Capacity across IT

• Capacity across facilities

• Unified view

Looking closer … increased visibility

• Capacity across IT

• Capacity across facilities

• Unified view

Looking closer … increased visibility

• Capacity across IT

• Capacity across facilities

• Unified view

Indication of productive and unproductive power usage

Unproductive power = potential to reduce IT Equipment

Reduced IT equipment = increased efficiency & less power

Looking closer … improved provisioning capabilities

• Capacity analysis – What

• “What-if” analysis - Where

• Deployment - How

Looking closer … reduced OPEX & CAPEX

• Optimization of software

• Optimization of hardware

• Risk mitigation

Adopt a phased approach to getting started …

Centralize your data archiveStep #1• Consolidate data collection practices• Aggregate capacity-related data from across the organization

Map your service relationshipsStep #2• Leverage your CMDB to understand infrastructure – services dependencies• Visualize, map and manage capacity

Model trends, plan capabilitiesStep #3• Historical and real-time capacity = clear understanding of capacity constraints• Utilize “what-if” scenario analysis to gauge impact of future growth
