VMWare Performance and Capacity Analysis Study
A good start to understanding how to achieve the "green" benefits of server and storage virtualization, thin provisioning and automated storage tiering can be accomplished through a study of your existing IT environment.
Many Compellent Business Partners are also VMWare partners and have access to the excellent Performance and Capacity Planning tool. This tool can provide a detailed summary of resource utilization, power, cooling and space useage and the potential savings which can be achieved by green virtualization technologies through a statistical analysis of your existing IT infrastructure.
Elsewhere in this session I have posted an example copy of a report for your review.
