Capacity management depends on good asset management

In many cases, capacity management needs to start with asset management. How does one know where the bottlenecks are unless one knows what can be bottlenecked? Availability will depend on capacity management. If you run out of SAN space (storage) associated with a server, availability will be impacted. Capacity management is dependent on asset management. To be able to measure the existing capacity and forecast it, you will need to know which applications use specific network, server and software assets. To be able to map applications to assets, one needs to know what the inventory is.

Good asset management can also ensure that the right licensing costs are being paid, whether there are any security holes from un-patched software, and whether there are assets that exist and may be under-utilized.
