So, you never really will be required to create a new network that will be live on day one. So you will have a period when you can try your new network and check on the performance of each application and business service as you test it on the server. New businesses need to perform market research, run trials of products and services and assemble a team. Planning for New NetworksĬreating a network from scratch to support a fully-operational new business with no historic network performance is a tough job. You can also reorganize scheduled tasks to reduce demands on important links and free up bandwidth for user-facing applications during business hours. Understanding which business critical applications are delivered to which users is also a benefit because this can help you re-organize subnetworks to reduce pressure on trunk links. This involves tracking data from both your network devices and your link capacity at the moment. Getting your baseline information involves measuring the existing network’s performance. You will need to take into account the following factors when gathering information about your current system: Those system statuses need to be updated regularly so that future capacity planning exercises aren’t based on out-of-date network metrics. Therefore, it is better to get a baseline for the whole system upfront, so that you are ready to implement any new requirement that the business comes up with. You will be expected to add on new applications or equipment throughout your career managing your company’s network. So, capacity planning only needs to concern those resources that will be directly involved in serving the new requirement. Your firewall and load balancer capacity is not relevant in this scenario. For example, if you are adding on 20 new user endpoints to the network, the segment that will connect those new nodes together and links that will carry traffic between those terminals and the servers that hold the storage and software that those users are expected to use are key. In the baseline phase, you need to consider the load on the network links and equipment that will be needed to support the new requirement. However, when performing core capacity planning, it really does pay to keep things as simple as possible. If you currently run a network, you may scoff at the simplicity of that outline. Bandwidth demand of new equipment/software.You just need to work out the following three factors: The basic outline of core capacity planning tasks is very straightforward.
