Capacity Planner Assessments Hits >2.5m Servers
During the Partner Day General Session Carl Eschenbach mentioned in passing that VMware’s Capacity Planner assessment tools has been used to assess more than 2.5m servers since its inception.
As someone that implements Capacity Planner on a regular basis I always knew it was going to be used a lot around the world as both a great technical information gathering tool, but probably more importantly as a sales tool.
It serves as a great way to show the customers that they really do only have servers that use an average less than 5% CPU utilisation and that VMware is a great way to better utilise their hardware. However, I had no idea that a milestone as huge as 2.5 million servers had been reached.
I’d imagine that this number will grow during these tough times as end-users will want to see deomnstrable proof more regularly in order to justify the expenditure.
I wonder how long it will be before this number is at 5m?
