FITS Availability & Capacity Management

 

 

Availability & Capacity Management

Availability and capacity management in ITIL are two separate processes: availability management and capacity management. Both processes focus on the proactive detection and prevention of ICT problems.They help you to optimise what you have and to decide what you need.We have streamlined these themes into two processes that span both availability and capacity management. They are network monitoring and preventative maintenance, terms that should sound more familiar to you.
