TeamQuest Enhances Capacity Planning Tool

TeamQuest Corporation, a provider of performance management and capacity planning solutions for enterprise systems, now offers new capabilities for simplifying what-if analysis and prediction in its latest release of TeamQuest Model.

The new release provides a number of benefits including:

• The ability to model additional environments such as Sun's Solaris Resource Manager.
• Simplified modeling techniques while maintaining the same high level of accuracy.
• Improved scalability for large servers.
• User interface improvements for easier interpretation of model results.

"We have been refining and continuously improving TeamQuest Model for several years, working hard to simplify a complicated concept," says Jerred Ruble, vice president of Software Engineering at TeamQuest. "And we have the only capacity planning tool that offers a choice between analytical modeling or event simulation."

TeamQuest Model provides predictive and what-if functions identifying server capacity requirements before they occur. TeamQuest Model allows the user to predict how well systems will respond in both real and hypothetical situations. Baseline models show how existing applications perform with the given system resources. The user can then experiment with environmental changes with different applications, intensities, or system components. The product then predicts how the components, applications, and users are affected by those changes.

According to Ruble, TeamQuest Model integrates easily with other TeamQuest Software products allowing IT users to accurately measure the performance and capacity of their servers. TeamQuest also offers an entire suite of software dedicated to performance analysis. TeamQuest Performance Software includes:

• TeamQuest Alert - multi-system monitoring and alarm management
• TeamQuest On the Web - automated report publishing
• TeamQuest View - reporting, investigation, and in-depth analysis
