VMware vCenter CapacityIQ Evaluator's Guide: Installing, Deploying, and Using vCenter CapacityIQ

CapacityIQ is a capacity management solution for VMware virtualization infrastructures enabling users to analyze, forecast, and plan the capacity needs of their virtual datacenter environment. CapacityIQ provides Virtual Infrastructure (VI) Administrators with visibility into their infrastructure capacity - what is currently available, what is in use, what will be needed in the future, and when capacity will run out. VMware virtualization enables a shared, dynamic environment - with pools of resources and capacity that can shrink or expand on demand. This constantly changing environment provides an opportunity for better, more effective capacity management.
