MONITORING: CAPACITY PLANNING/CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Organizations that inadequately manage the capacity of their electrical and mechanical systems in their technology rooms are exposed to both unnecessary risks and unnecessary expenses. The deployment of high-density servers, evolution of wiring closets that now resemble micro data centers and rising energy costs has created the perfect storm, overturning the traditional views and approaches to capacity planning and change management.

These changes have had a systemic impact on the lifeblood of infrastructure technology: space, power, and cooling capacities. IT and facility managers need a new tool to gauge the performance of their infrastructure and manage changes in the IT environments. They need a comprehensive monitoring system with capacity planning and change management capabilities.

TELADATA can help develop a monitoring system that gives the real time information needed to effectively exercise Capacity Planning with Change Management. There are many monitoring solutions with different strengths and weaknesses. As a vendor agnostic consultant you can be assured that you will get the most appropriate solution.

Capacity Planning
Capacity planning is the key to maintaining an efficient and expandable technology room.  Knowing your capacity will allow you to properly plan for growth and future requirements. Forward thinking professionals also rely on monitoring systems with modeling capabilities to workout “what-if” scenarios. These systems are based on your environment, simulating and analyzing the impact changes will have on space, cooling, and electrical loads.

Change Management
An integral part of many monitoring systems is the ability to implement a change management solution for the deployment of new equipment. Change management works hand in hand with capacity planning so that you can properly control, utilize, and scale your technology room. These systems can allow you to generate work orders, track changes and use remote monitoring over IP to provide control from anywhere in the world.

We work side by side with our clients and create a plan to address the specific challenges at each location. The result of our technical expertise and professional services is a smooth handoff of a monitoring system that gives 20/20 clarity today to make decisions about tomorrow.
