SolarWinds Virtualization Manager Capacity
This is a very important tool as its helps in areas where expensive SAN storage is capitalized for the virtual environment. Its saves processor and ram over utilization and has helped us expand the life of the hardware between refresh. We will continue to leverage it as we plan our virtual roll-outs in the future.

Capacity planning is quite powerful because you can find out when you are running out of resources as well as how many VMs you can fit
This includes the what-if analysis that use 5 key metrics. Telling you the date for a possible outage, it's really helpful and gives an in depth view on the actions to take with different priorities

Get insight into the performance, capacity, configuration, and usage of your virtualized infrastructure, including hosts, VMs, clusters and datastores. VMAN delivers recommendations to address active or potential performance issues.
The virtual capacity planning and management capabilities in SolarWinds Virtualization Manager enable you to efficiently plan, manage, budget, purchase and report on the capacity of shared resource pools in your virtualized environment.
Yes our oraganization is much benifited with having the solarwind virtualization manager.The snapshot feature to Pdf is much use ful and presentable to track the curren status and showcase the user how the stats been running and figured.The prediction for project what is going to come and whats the situation in current status is a acceptable capacity of it

We use it very frequently, especially when we generate forecasts and budgets for the next year.

We actually do proactive monitoring so prediction capacity is not needed yet.

We have used this heavily when the SQL DBA's request extra resources on a regular basis

When the customer has a several VM, sometimes they don't use the capacity wisely (a big resource for small application, and smaller resource for hectic server). With the SolarWinds, you can make it effective.

SolarWinds Virtualization Manager has been used to run several different "what-if" scenarios. These scenarios have allowed us to provide executive level management reports on specific scenarios for various projects, including growth due to new departments, purchases, and other similar types of tasks for spinning down projects and departments. Overall, the ability to forecast growth patterns for year over year growth has allowed for better budget number approvals.

We have not currently used this but look forward to exploring. This will be a vital tool for budgetting and also ensuring the company is aware of predicted future spend is needed.
SolarWinds Virtualization Manager Capacity
It has helped us to plan for future expansion of our install base.

Enables the team to see storage issues before they arise. Delve deeper into resource consumption patterns and trends, and record and report them appropriately.
It is more convenient for the team with VMAN to show future investment requirements to support anticipated IT growth.

We haven't used this tool--I will have to look into this and see how we can benefit from this.

We keep a close eye on our environment and have not had to use this capability much. It is nice that it does give us the ability the create scenarios and what would happen to our environment if they do occur. It could be useful in forecasting what our environment should be like in the future.

We have utilized this feature to plan for future projects or expansion projects based on need. By having the capability to put in these what-if details it allows us to show leadership in an easy to view fashion what impact changes being made by projects being proposed will have on our environment.

I have not used this feature yet. I am not sure if others here have used it or not. I think a lot of companies are too busy getting things setup and working, and then fixing problems. Seldom do you have the time and resources to really evaluate and plan for the future

I knew that capability existed. I never really leveraged it though. My environment doesn't really change all that often, and we're small enough that we don't often have too many cooks in the kitchen. Therefore, changes to our virtual environment are pretty limited in not only frequency but to who is actually allowed to make such changes. I never really explored the "what-if" scenarios provided by VMAN. Never really thought I'd need it, so I guess we never really explored how to get any value out of that feature.

We can see if there is a high CPU issue with network devices.
The graphs are pretty detailed and we have increased some links from 1Gig to 10Gig with the help of SolarWinds.

Some of the tools on the storage front were critical in how much time we had left on our storage. It really helped determine when it was time. Moving the monitoring from one storage system to another was easy. Excellent Value.

Capacity planning is always an exercise in over-estimating growth, fighting with finance to fund your wild estimates, and then having to "settle" for something closer to budget with the hopes that you'll be able to make it. VMAN watches your environment, measure how your specific environment operates, and then allows you to enter your OS requirements and/or expand your hosts to see what new VMs you can support.

We have used capacity planning scenarios against several of our production hosts to gauge how long the current resource will last. We have some expansions coming up in our production environment and VMAN has been fantastic in giving us an insight into just how much of a resource will be needed based on the current configuration and inventory.

SolarWinds Virtualization Manager Capacity
Capacity planner has been a very useful tool to estimate growth and budget. For instance, when we knew about upcoming projects and estimated the number and size of VMs required, we use this info as an input to the capacity planner. The output was the upgrades in terms of memory, processing and storage required. What-if scenarios are used and the outputs are used by technical team and management to make the best decision on the what projects to select, what projects to drop and what budget is required for VM infrastructure upgrades.
