User interface overview

View tab

As a capacity planner, you need timely and accurate visibility into system usage to guarantee optimal performance and maximize system uptime. To accomplish this, use capacity views to review and analyze the usage and performance of your infrastructure elements and services. With views, you can gain visibility into the capacity of the IT infrastructure in a physical, virtual, cloud, container, databases, storage, networks, and virtually any domain. For details, see Analyzing-your-infrastructure-data-by-using-capacity-views.

Additionally, use the migration simulation to evaluate the opportunity and cost-effectiveness of migrating servers (compute resources or VMs) that are hosted in your on-premises infrastructure to a public cloud or from one public cloud to another. For details, see Estimating the cost of migrating servers to the public cloud.

Workspace tab

Use the Workspace tab to view and manage the collected data in domains, systems, business drivers, their hierarchy, and metrics. Additionally, you can perform the following actions:

• Use analyses to monitor system behavior and take the necessary actions.  
• Use models to evaluate historical data and simulate future scenarios. 
• Use reports and Helix Dashboards to share the report of relevant data with internal and external stakeholders.  

For details, see Managing-and-analyzing-data-from-your-workspace.
