Better Software Required: and supplied
From recent chats with customers on all sides of the IT divide (infrastructure, applicaton developers and business analysts) it seems to me that there is a huge gap in the Capacity Management cycle between business process definition and mapping of transactions to processes or fractions of processes.
So, in the best tradition of chess players who 'announce' checkmate in five moves, followed by a shuffle six moves later, I am going to make a software pre-announcement. For my sins. [software preannoucements are generally called 'vapourware' by the way: not in this case)
Release Date: June 2008.
Company: Positech Consulting
Product Name: not divulged
Internal name: snibbo.
Compatibility: anything
Function:
A dynamic on-line tool for mapping business processes to volumetric analysis software to produce a true end-to-end business function to infrastructure map - to the data centre fundamentals.
Features:
Everything.
