Foglight Capacity Director 5.8.3 - User Guide (Lite version)

Using Foglight Capacity Director Lite

Foglight® Capacity Director Lite delivers an essential capacity management for virtual infrastructure. Get deep insight into your environment, including the availability and estimated time left for CPU, memory, storage, and Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPs). Use historical trends to better forecast resource requirements for clusters, hosts, and workloads—and proactively predict and budget for capital expenditures.

The Foglight Capacity Director Lite User Guide is intended for:

Foglight Capacity Director Lite replaces the functionality previously offered in Foglight Capacity Management in the VMware® and Hyper-V environments.
