Managing Capacity in VMware® Environments

White Paper: Managing Capacity in VMware® Environments


Organizations that simply rely on VMware's default settings will never fully optimize their virtualized environment. The default settings lead to low capacity utilization rates that undermine the promised economic returns of virtualization.

However, taking advantage of VMware's resource management capabilities — with a clear understanding of its capacity management implications — can help you further optimize your virtualized capacity.

Download this white paper to learn:

  • How VMware Resource Management settings (reservations, shares and limits) impact capacity
  • Why default VMware resource settings can increase costs or risk
  • How to optimize VMware's DRS settings to improve capacity utilization and reduce costs

As VMware deployments expand, it's essential to understand the role of capacity management before cost inefficiencies or service risks are introduced. Get started today by downloading this vendor-neutral white paper — Managing Capacity in VMware® Environments.
