These planning scenario simulations can be automated:
Consolidation to Virtual Machines You can simulate the consolidation of existing physical systems
into virtualized resources, thereby converting the physical systems
into VM guests hosted on VM hosts. To create the simulation, you can
use data from existing VM hosts or create template-generated “what-if”
systems based on characteristics that you specify. This feature makes
it possible for you simulate a replacement or upgrade of existing
legacy systems to fewer systems hosting virtual machines.
Workload Stacking You can simulate stacking individual workloads onto existing
servers and/or onto template-generated “what-if” systems
based on characteristics that you specify. This facility allows you
to consolidate existing workloads into as few systems as possible.
Load Balancing You can simulate balancing system loads across several servers
or virtual machines, such that workloads are distributed evenly across
a set of resources, without overloading the subset of the servers.
