Capacity Planning

Capacity Management is required to ensure that available IT resources will meet current and future business demands.

Datalock utilises clear and tangible capacity planning methods. We have developed a commercial product OreCentral, which specialises in capacity planning and performance management.

OreCentral stores data on the below database dynamics:

• Physical database size
• Total machine processing and wait time
• Transaction Per second
• Commits per second
• Concurrent system users
• Logical reads per transaction
• Physical / Logical reads per second.

Trend and pattern analysis of the above metrics can be combined to give a clear picture of current and projected system scalability. This data can then be combined with OS statistics to form a sustainable capacity management policy.
