Chapter 8. Capacity Manager

Capacity Manager is an efficient system management tool integrated into

Netfinity Director to help you measure the potential bottlenecks of various

subsystems. You can use this tool to forecast performance degradation of a

server and its subsystems. You can plan for an appropriate action to overcome

the bottleneck well in advance, so as to prevent overall performance degradation.

Over time key resource utilizations are collected from network systems and

merged into a single report that can be viewed graphically or exported into a

spreadsheet for further analysis. These reports show at a glance potential

capacity bottlenecks within the selected systems. Your analysis and ability to

predict bottlenecks is critical when planning for future upgrades. Capacity

Manager gives you the ability to plan the allocation of hardware upgrades for the

systems that really need them before a capacity bottleneck occurs.

Capacity Manager is available as part of Netfinity Director. It is one of the

Netfinity Life Cycle Tools as part of the UM Server Extensions as explained in

Netfinity Director - Integration and Tools, SG24-5389.

Note: Capacity Manager is also available as part of Netfinity Manager V5.1

onward, but as Netfinity Manager is not supported under Windows 2000, it is not

covered in this book.

8.1 What’snew?

A number of Capacity Manager features are new or different, compared to the

tool running on Netfinity Manager:

• Like other tasks in Netfinity Director, Capacity Manager is now run from any

Netfinity Director management console. The management console runs on

any WIN32 operating system (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,

and Windows 2000).

• All Performance Monitor objects and counters can be monitored on Windows

NT and Windows 2000.

• Generated reports used to always be saved to disk, wasting disk space. Now,

reports can be displayed to the viewer on-screen, or they can be saved to a

The key concept to understand about Capacity Manager is that the data is

always being gathered. Unlike Windows 2000’s System Monitor, you do not

have to start the logging of data. With Capacity Manager, you simply specify

what data you want retrieved from the servers and workstations in your network

and it is gathered up and displayed graphically for you. Up to one month’s

worth of data is automatically saved by every system.

Key concept

This chapter is based on a beta of Netfinity Director and Capacity Manager

running on Windows 2000. As a result, some parts of this chapter may describe

a feature that is different in the final released version of Netfinity Director.
