Capacity Planning & Forecasting
Plan the next five years on evidence, not opinion.
Trend, scenario, and TCO modelling for growth, consolidation, high-density workloads, and cloud repatriation, delivered as board-ready roadmaps grounded in live utilisation data.
Live utilisation, pipeline, and business inputs.
Growth, refresh, high-density, and cloud paths.
3 to 5 year capacity and investment plan.
What we deliver
Baseline & Trend Analysis
Multi-year trend analysis on power, cooling, space, port, and network utilisation with seasonality adjustment and business-cycle correlation.
Scenario Modelling
Model growth, consolidation, hyper-converged adoption, high-density cluster rollouts, and cloud repatriation to visualise capacity and cost impact before commitment.
High-Density & Liquid-Cooling Planning
High-density rack planning (30 kW and above), liquid-cooling readiness, power-per-rack redesign, and airflow re-engineering for compute-intensive workloads.
Consolidation & Refresh
Rack-level consolidation opportunities, End-of-Life and End-of-Support refresh cycles, and virtualisation payback modelled against real workloads.
Cloud vs On-Prem Modelling
Total cost of ownership comparison of on-premises, cloud, and colocation for candidate workloads, factoring energy, real estate, refresh cycles, and egress.
Reservation Pipeline & Approval
Forward-book capacity for pipeline projects, run automated approval workflows, and enforce headroom thresholds before provisioning is authorised.
3-5 Year Capacity Roadmap
Board-ready capacity roadmap with investment triggers, risk points, and expansion or retirement milestones aligned to the business plan.
Stranded-Capacity Recovery
Structured audit of stranded U-space, power, cooling, and port capacity with a prioritised recovery plan and quick-win schedule.
Why teams call us
- Capacity decisions rely on opinion
Growth, refresh, and consolidation choices are made without a shared, evidence-based view of current utilisation and pipeline demand.
- High-density workloads have no clear home
Compute-intensive and liquid-cooled workloads are landed on legacy racks that were never designed for their power, cooling, or weight profile.
- Cloud versus on-prem is argued, not modelled
Repatriation and migration decisions are debated without an aligned TCO model that factors energy, refresh, and real-estate cost.
- Stranded capacity stays hidden
Unused U-space, power, and ports remain locked behind poor records rather than being recovered through a structured audit.
Our approach
Capacity planning engineered around live utilisation, scenario modelling, and reservation governance for facility, IT, and executive stakeholders.
- Assess
Baseline utilisation trends, pipeline demand, refresh cycles, and current capacity governance across representative sites and workload tiers.
- Design
Define scenario models, TCO frameworks, reservation and approval policies, and roadmap templates suitable for board and executive review.
- Implement
Publish reservation pipelines, model scenarios with stakeholders, run stranded-capacity recovery workshops, and deliver a phased three to five year roadmap.
- Support
Refresh forecasts quarterly, evolve scenario models as business inputs change, and support ongoing capacity governance and refresh planning cycles.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Stranded rack capacity, blind spots in power/cooling, stale asset records or DCIM tooling that no-one trusts? We run fixed-scope DCIM remediation sprints to restore data quality and operational visibility.
- Asset inventory reconciliation, rack elevation cleanup and CMDB sync
- Power, cooling and environmental sensor coverage and threshold tuning
- Capacity planning models, alerting hygiene and reporting rebuild
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Keep DCIM data accurate and the data-centre running efficiently — asset governance, sensor care and vendor escalation under a Jiva AMC.
- L1/L2/L3 DCIM platform support with quarterly data-quality reviews
- Preventive maintenance for power, cooling and environmental sensors
- Capacity, sustainability and utilisation reporting for facilities and IT
