vOPS™ Capacity Manager
VKernel's vOPS Capacity Manager is a capacity planning solution that ensures VM performance of virtual environments and cloud deployments.
"After we installed Rightsizer, we discovered that we could delay that purchase (additional server and storage hardware) for at least six months, resulting in a savings of around $30,000-$40,000."

vOperations Suite Overview
Capacity Planning Solution
vOPS Capacity Manager, part of the VKernel vOperations Suite™, models available VM capacity across server and storage resource and uses predictive analysis of system metrics to identify future bottlenecks. Capacity Manager is unique in using advanced analytics to calculate the maximum number of VMs that can safely fit on existing equipment. By using this capacity planning solution, virtualization administrators are able to accurately plan for additional Hyper-V, vSphere and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) capacity and avoid VM performance issues.
Key Features
- vOPS Capacity vScope shows all capacity issues in the entire environment across multiple data centers and hypervisors
- Capacity Availability Map provides a count of available VM slots in the current or future state of the environment based on existing VMs, customizable VM profiles, average VM size or maximum VM size
- Forecast long-term resource needs for budgeting and hardware planning with the Future Requirements Report
Operational Benefits
- Identify all infrastructure areas in the entire environment that are resource constrained at a glance
- Understand current and future capacity bottlenecks to stay ahead of increasing virtual machine demand
- Gauge available capacity by modeling future virtual machine loads
Business Benefits
- Avoid SLA violations and crisis hardware procurement through accurate purchasing forecasts
- Eliminate overbuying of hardware through accurate capacity planning and availability insight
- Defer equipment purchasing and maximize hardware use through higher VM density
- Reduce downtime and firefighting by avoiding forecasted performance problems
Integration Capabilities
Integrate VM slot availability and reserved VM capacity data into:
- Self-service portals
- Orchestration engines
vOPS Capacity Manager is simple to download, easy to deploy and provides immediate measurable value.
