Sizing a new cluster can be a challenging exercise, especially if you don’t know your workloads well.While we’ve always had decent rule-of-thumb estimators, there’s nothing as good as collecting real data and using the results to size your configuration.
Our own Simon Todd (aka Mr. VSAN) shares some background on the new VIP (virtualization infrastructure planning) tool, which also includes capacity and performance sizing for VSAN, now in beta.
We’re looking for customers and partners to give it a go: download the collector, gather data to the SaaS analyzer, and review the results. Our goal is to make infrastructure sizing as easy (and as accurate!) as it can be.
Let us know what you think!
