Capacity Planning Tool

CAPACITY PLANNING TOOL

Capacity planning happens in annual spreadsheet exercises. In between, teams over-provision to be safe and still get surprised by shortages in the wrong places.

Actors

  • Capacity Planner
  • Network Architect
  • Head of Infrastructure

Systems / Vendors

  • SolarWinds
  • Splunk
  • Domo

Business Question

"We over-provision everything by forty percent and still ran out of capacity twice last year — what are we actually planning against?"

What SPoG Does

  • Forecasts infrastructure capacity needs from observed growth patterns, continuously.
  • Identifies both looming shortages and stranded over-provisioned capacity.
  • Turns capacity planning from an annual guess into a rolling, evidence-based process.
