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).
