Predicting the growth of your resources by using simulations

A well-balanced resource management system is critical for any IT organization to support business in a cost-effective manner. It is very important to be able to estimate whether your existing infrastructure is able to accommodate additional projects to support an ever-changing business model.

BMC Helix Continuous Optimization provides What-if simulation to predict the growth of your resources based on the previous behavior or based on an expected increase in the usage of resources. 

Use a What-if simulation to evaluate historical data, predict future behavior, and simulate scenarios by observing their time series. The simulations are built on existing data and analysis. 

With the What-if simulation, you can achieve the following goals:

• Analyze business and IT capacity needs to ensure efficient use of your resources.
• Analyze performance problems by identifying bottlenecks and capacity issues.
• Develop the deployment and fulfillment plans that minimize risks and reduce cost.

You can create a What-if simulation for Kubernetes deployments or business services. For more information, see the following topics:
