you can make more informed decisions about re-configuring your servers to improve the
or maintain it with a more efficient configuration.
Capacity Advisor allows you to size your system with more precision. This sizing is not based on
a simple peak utilization value, but on knowing the answers to questions such as whether your
system is more than 70% busy for an unacceptable percentage of the time.

Task: Determining where to put a workload using automated solution
finding
Adding a new application or set of applications to an existing server environment requires careful
planning. Deciding where to add the new workload can be challenging; can it be placed on an
existing server, or is a new system required? With Capacity Advisor, the planning can be based
on real data and realistic modeling of the results of adding a new workload to the current
environment.
Prerequisites
•
You should be familiar with Capacity Advisor operations (see
).
•
You must be logged in to Matrix Operating Environment. (See
.)
•
You must have already collected data on the systems of interest (see
).
