BMC Capacity Management

Business Challenge

IT organizations tasked with managing large, distributed environments are having to do so with fewer staff resources and are challenged to deliver just-in-time capacity and consistent service in the face of ever-growing business demands. Virtualization and other data center initiatives that are meant to increase efficiency and optimize existing IT resources also introduce a level of complexity, that if not managed will drastically degrade application performance and IT effectiveness.
