This chapter introduces the topics of capacity planning, resource optimization, and maximizing hardware system utilization.
The focus of this chapter was on optimizing the performance of a virtualized environment. The first step in the optimization process involves understanding the benefits of capacity planning. Organizations can use performance data to answer many different questions related to strategic and tactical operations in the data center. An organized performance optimization approach that encompasses all systems and includes baseline statistics is a vital component. Historical data and predictions related to workload resource requirements can also be helpful
