Abstract

Embodiments provide capacity estimates for components of a computing environment, but are not so limited. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes using residual capacity estimates and smooth averages to provide point-in-time capacity estimates for resources of a computing environment. In one embodiment, a computing environment includes a capacity manager that can operate under processor control to provide capacity estimates for a collection of resources as part of a capacity monitoring and planning process. Other embodiments are included and available.
