E valuator’s guidE vmware vCeNTer CapaCiT yiQ 4.4 Optimize the use of existing capacity CapacityIQ can be used to optimize the use of existing capacity in the virtual infrastructure. The ease of deploying virtual machines can result in virtual machine sprawl and inefficient use of virtual capacity. CapacityIQ includes several views that can provide insights into the virtual machines in your datacenter and clusters. To begin with, CapacityIQ provides virtual Machine optimization – summary view that lists the number of powered-off, idle, under-sized and oversized virtual machines in the selected datacenter or cluster. The view provides a quick overview about how efficient the capacity usage is. Based on this information, you can run appropriate reports to get more specific lists. You can use these virtual machine lists in the What-If scenarios that model removing these virtual machines, and verify how much capacity you can safely reclaim in your environment. Figure 4.4.1 37
