Planning the Capacity Using vRealize Operations Manager 6.6

You can use the Projects feature in vRealize Operations Manager to plan for capacity allocations and upgrades in your virtual environment, or to optimize your existing resources. To plan your upcoming capacity needs, you create a project that anticipates forthcoming changes that affect the capacity of your objects.

In addition to creating projects to plan for hardware changes or virtual infrastructure changes, you can create custom profiles and custom data centers to help forecast your capacity needs.

With custom profiles, you can determine how many instances of an object can fit in your environment depending on the available capacity and configuration. With custom data centers, you can see capacity analytics and badge computations based on the objects contained in the custom data center.
