Business Areas:                                                                      Capacity Planning   Capacity Planning services enable organizations to forecast and estimate their Information Technology (IT) system performances. These services are based on a statistical model that operates data input on systems load, application load and users' behavior, providing a set of information for strategic planning activities. What-if analysis: The user base will enlarge The users' behavior will change New server will be installed or a server will be down Evaluating outstanding capacity What is the higher system peak load? What is the capabilities of security? Finding bottlenecks Which servers and components (CPU, memory, and disk space) need maintenance? Companies usually hold a relevant knowledge base about capacity issues (performance data, log files, human knowledge), but rarely IT organizations take full advantages of this intangible asset. LOT's Capacity Planning service is based on a cross-enterprise approach - networks, systems, applications, and database - that systematically integrates: Traditional performance information Business specific information from each enterprise application We opens the way for customer organizations to: Give technical information a business meaning Improve IT investment decision making Gain the maximum benefit for the whole enterprise The Capacity Planning process can be systematically implemented during the whole IT process/service life-cycle. It can also be implemented at regular intervals, but usually this approach is ideal in case of hardware acquisition, architectural evolution or load expansion, for example due to new services provided. LOT faces all these situations through a "business oriented" approach. This means to continuously match workload projections and Key Business Indicators, as well as to be more aware of business growth and changes.   We provides companies a real advantage analysis both technical and functional parameters. This feature allows IT staff to analyze performance trends, to measure and estimate systems response time, for example according to traffic intensification.   There are available enterprise suites that allows user organizations to turn data on IT performances into a business valuable asset, with an evolving knowledge of the enterprise application's impact on the infrastructure. With the appropriate enterprise suite we can guarantee a full coverage for every Capacity Planning issue: Load analysis Correlation analysis Load/Usage linking Response time Costs & Resources partitioning Performance Analysis Trends and periods tracking for selected loads Forecast Analysis Prediction of application performance for each service change Bottleneck assessment Outstanding capacity assessment Prediction of application response time for every business change LOT also offers Service Level Management solutions to integrate its Capacity Planning activities. Specifically, we offers Service Level Reporting to collect business requirements and turn service levels data into business critical information.
