Book Review of A-Z of Capacity Management:
Practical Guide for Implementing Enterprise IT Monitoring & Capacity
Planning Paperback – November 20, 2017
Practical capacity management in a nutshell is one
way to describe this book. Deriving optimal value from tech infrastructure has
also been a concern in the enterprise environment. Simple and yet painstakingly
written, it is an excellent guide for everyone who needs to get a full grasp of
what it takes to plan and implement the capacity management process for
organizations.
Throughout the book, it is clear that Dominic has
rich expertise in capacity management as the book flows with credible and real
life nuggets from his first hand experience. Planning for capacity to meet
enterprise needs cannot be underestimated. The balance of focusing on core
issues and yet making critical issues easy to understand and simple is one of
the things that makes this book so appealing.
Particularly impressive is his detailed attention
to capacity management fundamentals, measurement and data, planning model,
planning, reporting and auditing of the process. Rather than empty bells and whistles,
he uncovers and highlights the substance to ensure readers focus on issues that
matter.
The single thread that runs through the book is information and
insights that will help readers take quality decisions in the important management
of capacity. At the end of the day it is about achieving capacity management
goals and adding value.
Full of revelations that should interest anyone
with more than a passing interest in the optimum management of infrastructure
and computing resources, the aspect relating to the cloud computing and machine
learning era, prepares the reader for the ever changing and increasingly digitally
enabled world we live in. Indeed it is not just a book for today, but additionally
addresses the impact of new technologies and how the future demands on business
can be met efficiently and effectively.
IT infrastructure, service delivery, cost/performance
balance, business requirements and targets are all within the capacity
management realm. As an information technology consultant, I know that many lack the guidance and
detail this book provides.
It is welcome, practical and outstanding in how it
brings all these important issues together in one place. Rich in content,
enjoyable to read, it is a simple yet captivating book!
I highly recommend this
book to anyone with an interest in capacity management. 5 stars for an
excellent guide!
