Administrators install CapacityIQ as a virtual appliance. Since
virtual appliances are pre-configured, deploying CapacityIQ
is simple, reducing unnecessary time and expenses. Then,
administrators can access CapacityIQ from the VMware vCenter
Server and review the dashboard to get an at-a-glance view
of past, present and future capacity needs and availability.
What-if scenario wizards help to model one-time potential
impacts to the datacenter or desktop infrastructure capacity.
Administrators can print and export real-time capacity reports
to send to management or IT staff.
